Clusterf#&k to the War House – Korean Peninsula & Middle East

Posted on by

TDS: North Korea sinks a South Korean battleship, and Israeli commandos raid a flotilla of ships in international waters.

Once again Jon Stewart manages to inject a dose of common sense to a major world incident or event. No matter how complex.

And Charles Krauthammer, you suck.

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: The fundamental deception here is the use of the word “humanitarian.” As we saw, humanitarians don’t wield iron clubs and would have killed the Israelis had the Israelis not drawn their pistols in self-defense. But there’s a larger issue here. What exactly is the humanitarian crisis that the flotilla was actually addressing? There is none. There’s no one starving in Gaza. [..]

There’s a very interesting post at Crooks and Liars by “Heather”. Watch the video of a debate between Eliot Spitzer and Glenn Greenwald. Greenwald brings some reason and balance to the discussion.

Flotilla Debate: Glenn Greenwald vs Eliot Spitzer

Here’s the post put up by Glenn Greenwald following this discussion with Spitzer. He has a lot of interesting links.

  2. nwmuse,

    Thanks for putting all of this in one place.

    The most disgusting part – the US ‘hands off’ approach. Makes me quite ill our administration would condone, by its silence, the murder of humanitarians, not to mention the deplorable conditions the Israelis have put on Palestine with the illegal blockade.

    Confiscation of all the ‘eye witness’ video/photos is the most telling – Israel doesn’t want its evil side to show! Too late. I don’t think there can be anything more demonstrative of evil than allowing a people to suffer and then murdering those who attempt to alleviate that suffering.
