Joe Ferguson forever

So what should we do, B Man? you seem pleased at the prospect of an attack on Iran. Are you? I'm sure there's a simple MAGA answer to this catastrophe...I'm wondering if my radon mitigation system in the basement will help.

yes, and for an old guy, not hard on the eyes...but this is amazing coverage. Nic Robertson just said he was within 700 meters of the border near Sderot earlier today. meanwhile at Fox....

This news coverage is scary. Orwellian as I said before. But compelling. Interestingly, Fox on site guy is in a peaceful square. CNN's woman reporter is wearing a helmet and ducking missiles...wow real time iron dome work on CNN. right now. Ashkelon. Clarissa Ward is either very brave or very crazy. maybe both.

Agreed. So will destroying Iran fix it? I'm seriously asking cuz it didn't work out so well in Iraq and Afghanistan...

I think some did. Some didn't. Some were in between - less than hate, more than like. agreed. for those purposes. and I pray that the carrier going to Iran will provide those things only. It's not ridiculous to hypothesize that this could turn into a world war quickly. And while hamas deserves plenty of blame and condemnation, they're not the ones actually pulling the strings. They're more like the goons of Jan6. "Useful" idiots as NC says....

two wrongs don't make a right.

if used as a deterrent...we had them available for Afghanistan and Vietnam right?

I thought you were isolationist. Or at least anti war. What happened? And after a salient, interesting, noninflammatory video, Callahan adds to the discussion with....wait for it....an eyeroll

at least watch the beginning. the guy in the frame is Israeli. He's surprised his charming Palestinian neighbor is aware. also check out 9 mins in

huh? do you believe that Israel does not engage in apartheid? Do you think that the conditions that palestinians live under don't foment resistance? There are few good guys running these countries. But the people themselves are mostly not to blame.

wouldn't it make America greater if the big R's called out Gaetz, MTG and Boebert more?

nice try Tlaib said she continues to “grieve the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost yesterday, today, and every day,” before calling for “dismantling the apartheid system that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that can lead to resistance.” She shouldn't have said this. She's emotional too. But it's not false. And the big D's called her out on it. That's what should have happened.

do you like Hemingway? Who's your fav author save trump? you don't see any parallel?

Yes, there are obvious common threads....capitalizing on emotions void of reason is the most worrisome. We never learn. Even the Israelis

useful info. thanks but I edited my post with this before you responded. I type and then think harder. It's one reason I edit so much. "Many of the palestinians, at this point, want vengeance. hardly surprising. it didn't have to be this way. there'd still be fighting about something however. the culture of the entire region tends towards barbarism." Oh, and sometimes polls are not accurate...see 2016, USA

link? how would we know. they haven't had an election in 17 years...but I agree. Many of the palestinians, at this point, want vengeance. hardly surprising. it didn't have to be this way. there'd still be fighting about something however. the culture of the entire region tends towards barbarism.

yes, that why they haven't had a parliamentary election since 2006. They just knew they would win!

out of morbid curiosity, do you believe Epstein might have been an Israeli spy? He certainly had access to powerful people and his mo was very similar to Cohens. It wouldn't be beneath the Israelis to use young girls to further their ends....No country in the middle east wears white cowboy hats...

Finally, you link a decent source...yes, that all looks correct to me. perhaps someone else here will critique it. Democracy my ass...it's a terrorist state as you and REUTERS said. But somehow in all the time since 1987, we couldn't infiltrate and take them down. Just a thought, but their presence kinda justifies Israel's terrible treatment of the Palestinians.... democracy trump style: The Hamas takeover of Gaza followed its win in Palestinian parliamentary elections in 2006 – the last time they were held.

it is likely too late. so why didn't we help them destroy hamas in Palestine long ago? wouldn't the Israelis want that too. Or would they? Nothing here is obvious. Deception is one of their most successful tactics...

splain

hmmm....maybe they don't want hamas garbage there?

The Spy In the 1960s, Israeli clerk-turned-secret agent Eli Cohen goes deep undercover inside Syria on a perilous, years-long mission to spy for Mossad. Watch all you want. Sacha Baron Cohen ("Borat," "Da Ali G Show") takes a dramatic turn as real-life spy Eli Cohen in this thriller inspired by true events. I believe this is still on Netflix. if you haven't seen it, you should. Then read more about Eli Cohen....and his alias.

So do you still claim to be an Indian Anesthesiologist? The ethnic part is unimportant. the doc part is. And what does my tenure on the board have to do with truth?

yes, epstein was killed in prison...kidding
