      LOL..."truthful and honest"...not a kernel of truth or honesty in this Israel hater. War is hell and those that bring war to their constituents are the ones responsible for bringing death and misery to their own people. The Palestinians have chosen war with rockets, arson kites, rape, torture, hostage taking, cars ramming bus stops and incessant whining and propaganda for the past 80 years.

      Just another episode of "The Amy Presents Crap and please send money show"! This is a BS anti-Israel propaganda channel. No objective reporting of news found here. The only objective I've noticed here is to report anti-Israel propaganda. Every story is meant to demonize Israel, period. I would think that the UN reporting that it received inflated casualty stats regarding the number of civilian Palestinians that have lost their lives s war would actually have been good news, albeit embarrassing to the supplier of the incorrect stats [Hamas provided the figures]. Please comment and correct me if I'm wrong but I never saw this reported on this channel. Additionally, I would think that the BBC also admitting it had overstated the number of Palestinian civilian deaths in this war would have been news, in fact good news for Palestinians, but again, I saw no mention of this by this channel. The internet can be a powerful tool for incitement and incitement leads to increased death and misery for both Palestinians and Israelis as well as young impressionable "students" on both sides of the fence. Supporting this channel is supporting violence and terror. And Amy, the talking head for this crap channel is also a piece of work.

The real motivation hiding beneath those robes and turbans is gaining hegemony of the region. Been that way long before Islam was invented in 600 AD.

My dad was in the USAF from 1950-1971 and toward the end of his career we lived near a major air base, one that the Soviets would have certainly launched a warhead or two at in the event of war. It was years before it occurred to me that the purpose of "D&C" was a (lame) attempt to let us children "hide" from the incoming blast waves (heat, EMP, etc) of an atomic explosion. The school was close enough to the base that it was basically "ground zero." There's no way in hell any of us would have survived a 20-50 megaton nuke going off that close by.

Palomares and Thule are just two outstanding cases with contamination hanging on until now and for a millenium to come if not longer. But one case stuck in my mind because of a school near a US nuclear base. Greenham Common in Englnd, some 50 miles from London. On the 28th of February 1958, a B-47E jettisoned its two 1,700 gallon external fuel tanks that hit B-47E carrying a 1.1 megaton (4.6 PJ) B28 nuclear bomb. Radioactivity is detectable there until now but no evacuation or extensive cleaning took place while a report warning of the dangers was suppressed by the UK government for teh sake of the 'special relationship".

      @@Rhythmicons In Powell's defense, I think he got taken on the same ride we all did. He trusted his boss in the White House and regretted it. I hate fucking Republicans, but that said, had Powell been picked by the Republicans in '08 and won, I don't think he would have done any worse than President Obama, who probably did the least harm of any President in my lifetime.

The Catholics got on the phone and kept Clinton in office. There ain't no Republican cares if a teenage girl gets an abortion, especially if she's Palestinian.

    When the US start to pay compensation for the illegal war they fought in Irak. And when they pay for the oil they have stolen there? There are a number of other similar cases, where they did the same. Same behavour like crusaders.
