The title song of the Cole Porter Musical Anything Goes provides the perfect description of what is going on in the Middle East today:
And good’s bad today,
And black’s white today,
And day’s night today,
When most guys today
That women prize today
Are just silly gigolos
The last three days over seventy rockets have hit towns in the Negev by Hamas. Scores of people have been injured, many seriously. Israel has started to fight back, unlike the scum firing the rockets, the IDF is not targeting civilians, but military installations.
With this as a background, you look at some of the comments by governemtns and you have to wonder are these people idiots or do they just think we are?
The US State Department hopes that Peace Talks wont be Derailed
Guys, what peace talks, the people of Sderot have been dodging rockets for month
Teetering? Open Warfare between Hamas and Fatah on the Streets, Seventy missiles in three days–Damn if this is teetering I would hate to see what happens when it falls into the abyss of chaos.
Israel’s Response to Rocket Fire Seen as Declaration of War by Hamas
This has to be one of my favorites…70+ rockets were peaceful acts?
Sure, Lets see if we can bring John Lennon back to life, “All we are saying, is give peace a chance” Hey shorty if you and your dad let these “refugees” into the country decades ago this would all be a done deal!
You gotta love it ! Hamas controls the PA Government . The Arab league is pushing to include Hamas in with any negotiations–and Mubarak announces that no way Hamas will make peace. Er.. Mister Egyptian dictator sir, why are you wasting our freeking time?
Don’t worry folks you haven’t missed anything, the absurdity of the reactions to what is going on in the middle east today will continue as long as there is conflict in the middle east.
