It's a ship registered in the Marshall Islands, not specifically US,
but "The Republic of the Marshall Islands is independent of the US but
has a 'free association' relationship with [the US]... However, since
we provide for the defense of the Marshall Islands, it's going to wind
up functionally the same thing."
I bet all Obama will say is "please", and offer more reduction in
sanctions. What a weenie!
I'm glad I live inland from the coasts. When Iran and North Korea go
nutso both coasts are going to pay the consequences for voting
Democrat.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Oh, and this last election result was not favorable. Mr. Hardliner
is still in there and insisting. I really owuld have liked to see
the Jewish people elect someone a bit more prone to peace.
ad perhaps they did. Their election system is not a one takes all.
It's not like here. It is probably a buit better because the US has
problems because of this eight years max shit. How can you have a
direction to take that affcts generations after you when you have to
think about every eight years ?
So no system is perfect. when is the next election in Israel ? And
in fact, what was the popular vote ? Who voted for which party n shit
? I'm sure there are districts or something right ? Provinces ?
I might have to look that up just out of curiousity.
But really, any Israel firsters in here - do you think the Israeli
people would rather a more moderate government ? They gotta be
getting sick of this shit if nothing else.
Quite the reverse. The Israelis that I know say they just got sick of
getting f*****d over every time they made a peace initiative. They're
surrounded by people who hate them, and who have tried more than once in
living memory to push them into the ocean (1948, 1967). From 70 AD,
when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem, obliterated the Temple, and
dispersed the Jews throughout the Empire, to the 1940s, their historical
orientation has been to "go along to get along", i.e. to seek
assimilation in the societies where they live, while maintaining their
distinctive traditions. That was never that easy--Ferdinand and
Isabella disposessed them and chucked them out of Spain, and similar
things happened in England, Russia, and elsewhere--but it was the Nazis
that really ended that game. The Jews are getting run out of Europe
again in our time--the Jewish population of all of Europe is down to 1.4
million, vs. 9.5 million in 1933 and 3.8 million in 1945. There are
more than that in metropolitan New York City (about 2 million.)
Countries who drop bombs on Americans tend to meet with a vigorous
response as well. (Japan, for instance.) Appeasing people who hate you
is not a growth strategy in the long run--see Chamberlain, comma,
Neville, former British Prime Minister. It's weakness that leads to
war, not strength. (*)
If it weren't for the fact that they're Jews, nobody would bat an eye at
Israel's defending itself. Who in the West really cared about the
Iran/Iraq war when it was going on? It was far more cruel and bloody
than anything Israel's ever been involved with, but it's Israel that has
the left's panties in a wad. The growing antisemitism of the Left is
one of their uglier characteristics.

(*) The apparent counterexample of WWI isn't one really, since it was
the inflexibility of the German and Russian mobilization plans that made
it impossible for the Germans to draw back from war once mobilization
had been ordered. The Kaiser and the Tsar both tried desperately to do
so, but couldn't.
The problem now is that we have an ultimate appeaser in Obama, which
will end up causing a war that will likely be fought on our own soil.
