The Afghan "goldmine" that was "discovered" this week by American military contracts is... a joke. It is also old news. Though, it did succeed in distracting us for a few days from all the men who died in that country this week, not to mention to continued uselessness of the military in dealing with the oil spill. So I guess that's good right?

So, apparently the Israelis are doing crazy stuff again, and apparently if you call them out on it that makes you a Nazi. So, I'm prepared to be called a Nazi. In fact I'll go first "you are just a Jew-hating Nazi"... There, now that that is out of the way let's just be informed. Shall we?

Why did the U.S. not respond to Israel's wanton aggression against an under-equipped flotilla of aid workers and humanitarian relief? Where is our outrage at the loss of an American life at the hands of the IDF? If you are waiting for it, find a comfortable seat, you'll be waiting a while...

Is there any real surprise over the outcome of the Israeli raid on the Mavi Marmara in the waters off of Gaza? The alleged peace ship delivering so-called relief supplies to the Gaza Strip was boarded by Israeli soldiers, who warned days in advance that this was likely to occur.
