Arab World Unites Against Israel

[aiki14]

Air, ground and naval units from Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Egypt have been seen massing for battle. Large fleets representing the combined navies of several countries steam toward the Israeli coast and the Straights of Hormuz. Representatives of the Arab league vow to stand united against the Israeli aggressors.

When Chickens have lips.

Israel pounds Lebanese territory effectively isolating country, Lebanese President whines, Arab world remains with finger in A**.

Israel claims that their force is proportionate for reclaiming their lost soldiers.

When pigs fly.

Killing innocent civilians and preparing to destroy cities, steal more land, and rape/pillage the innocent Lebanese doesn't relate to getting their lost little piglets back. Israelis are more concerned with driving the conflict to broader involvement which will eventually include the US. Without the US, Israel would crumble like the house of cards that it is.

Turn off your FoxNews and CNN and tune in to BBC. You'll see just how biased and partisan the US media is concerning the Israeli image. It's ridiculous for the media to portray Israel as an innocent non-aggressive democracy. That's just bogus.

Roll around in your trough til you're blinder than a home plate ump, aiki14.

I was not defending Israel, I was attacking your credibility to comment. State for the record you are not an antisemite, and you use the Navy Jack avatar as a statement of the states rights issue (even though we know this was a battle flag and never was the official flag of the confederacy)
You don't like Israel, clearly, but you make poor arguments which lack cogency. That intimates racism rather than a logical premise.

Lee surrendered, he was a man of honor, a winner in every thing he did prior to that act and yet he had the sense to respond to the following (the first statement is paraphrased but the quotes are his words),

Now there were men who came with smouldering eyes to Lee and said: "Let's not accept this result as final. Let's keep our anger alive. Let's be grim and unconvinced, and wear our bitterness like a medal. You can be our leader in this."

But Lee shook his head at those men. "Abandon your animosities," he said, "and make your sons Americans."

(me again) You made the statement your ancestors were slaveholders, which indicates landed gentry, you speak as one who is frustrated that you are no longer in that class. If you are proud of your heritage it should be expressed with joy not anger.

Sure, you're entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine. We're going to leave it at that, my friend.

You don't know what it's like to have my heritage, upbringing, and experiences, and I don't know those of yours. Neither do I care to. If you form your opinion based on half-truths and bullsheet, by all means, feel free. But for the sake of keeping it civil, I'm just going to draw the line right here rather than fill out a profanity-laden personal attack. I think we're better than that on this forum.

If you'd have left it at that, your response would have been deserving of respect. But ...

In 1979 Iran captured 66 Americans and held them hostage for 444 days. At that time our illustrious leader was Jimmy "Peanut" Carter who also had a difficult time with the word "nuclear" although he stated he was a "nucular" engineer. At that time, had the United States been led by anyone other than an emasculated Georgia peach we would have put an end to so much middle east terrorism that the world would be far different today. Criticized for his weak kneed response to the captive situation, Carter then went on to show what a strong character he really had and prevented our athletes from participating in the Olympic games in Moscow as a protest to their actions in Afghanistan. Now THAT was funny .....and pathetic.
There was a time when, if a Russian soldier was captured, there would be an immediate and dramatic response in the form of massive retaliation. That is something that was understood and something that I respected. The action by Israel against the Hezbollah is comparable to the actions of the Russia of old. When diplomacy doesn't work there aren't many alternatives.
Personally, I applaud Israel for it's actions. I just wish the United States had displayed the same loyalty to it's citizens. How long has the massacre of innocent Israelis gone on ?? Hundreds of men, women and children slain by insane religious zealots and yet, when they answer in kind they are the aggressors ? There is a time to draw a line in the sand and I guess this was line drawing time.

You're kidding, right?

I guess pushing the Palestinians into concentration camps and murdering them doesn't count.

Neither does occupying Lebanon.

Israel is acting pigheaded and arrogant since they know Bush has their back. They have several captives in prison, but they demolish a country because they have taken two of thier soldiers prisoners. That is a pathetic abuse of power! Bush backs this BS.

War is for idiots who don't know how to take their testosterone out on a female. People are acting like animals these days, and Bush is their leader. What happened to people becoming civilized? I see the world has gone backwards since our lame-duck, incumbent has been parading around the world starting wars everywhere possible. He shure has slowed down the progress of humanitarianism!!! It's going to take the world several years to get back on track from this mess. I sure hope people in the US can come to their senses and get a democratic house and senate in to slow this President's destruction down!
