The Pianist Is Coming
My question is, who needs Condi Rice? Israel (supposedly our ally, right?) is kicking ass and taking names in Lebanon and Gaza, defeating our common enemy. Did Israel send a Foreign Minister to Afghanistan 9 days into the war there to talk to the people we're fighting? What is the point of this useless excursion? It's to find a way to halt the war before its time. It's not like Israelis want to be at war; they'll call the whole thing off when they've achieved their objective and finished the mission. So why are we butting in? And why is she going to Egypt first?
Supposedly, the goal of this exercise in futility is to get the Arabs to make Syria make Hezbollah back off. Isn't that roundabout, redundant, and precisely backwards? The Arabs don't have any say, and they're probably going to make us give them things in exchange for nothing again, as is customary. I say Israel's actions have done a world more good in Lebanon than Syria ever has, and besides, Syria's ultimate puppetmaster is Iran, which is enjoying all of this immensely, and harbors no great veneration for the opinions of the Arabs. What influence do Egypt and Jordan have on Iran? Bupkis!
Our best move is to shut the fuck up, and clap for the Israelis. We are missing a very good opportunity to shut up.
The United States appears increasingly isolated in refusing to pressure Israel, its top Middle East ally, for a ceasefire in a war that has killed hundreds of civilians, mainly in Lebanon.The reporter here wants you to know that he, she, it, or they is/are archly disapproving of the United States' strange refusal to pressure Israel to take it easy on the
Unlike the United Nations and key European allies that want a ceasefire as soon as possible, the United States stresses the need for what it calls a "durable" solution to the crisis before any ceasefire can be implemented.

What a farce.
Russia has become a KGB-Mafia kleptocracy, anti-democratic, with dreams of empire reacquisition which subverts or obstructs every key US initiative under Condi's watch. She is involved in 24/7 analingus of the Tent of Saud, micromanaging the kid glove treatment of the precious palestinian people on their way to forming yet another fundamentalist islamic state bent of genocide, while she ham-handedly bullies Israel ijnto ever more deadly concessions.
Hoever, when the opportunity arose to deal Iran and indirect blow wiht the Israeli fist, something that clearly suited american interests, the American Admin is suddenly all about 'We feel Israel has a right to defend itself', as if that is a staement of Policy rahter than a natural right.
When the TV screens fill with images of the neccessary destruction, and the euros and arab world start yelping, however, a calculus will be made that the damage to America in the arab street is beginning to outweigh the benefit of the damage to Iran, and she will be off like a promm dress to put the breaks on Israel.
The American-Israeli relationship is dysfunctional. Israel is a battered wife.
I hear variations of what Maine's Michael has been saying, that the US really wants Hezb'Allah to get its butt kicked, but doesn't doesn't want to upset the Yurpians and Arabs too much by letting it go too long.
Bolton seems to get it, however. His remarks about a ceasefire, basically that 1) how doe sone arrange a cease fire between a terrorist group and a State and 2) a ceasefire leaves behind the status quo is correct.
Various radio pundits on talk-radio, like Walid Phares, suggest that secretly Sunni Arab states like Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt are actually enjoying the idea of Iran's foreign policy arm getting whacked.
If it takes Ms. Rice several days to work out particulars, dragging out things the way the French and Russians usually do at the UN, Israel should get a lot of the heavy lifting done before any ceasefire goes into force.
Ouch. Right on. This is what we get for letting our laziest, worst and dumbest become 'journalists'.
They deserve the hit they're gonna get from the freight train that is the 'blogosphere'.
How reliable is Debka?
From what you quoted, pretty reliable.
Oh dear.
Don't forget the other country (rather surprisingly) standing with Israel at the moment.
Blair dismisses Archbishop's ceasefire call
If America caves in to pressure, though, how long before Britain follows?
RC, it's the same old game, nothing has changed. We treat the symptoms and not the disease.
OMG, speaking of my last paragraph in this entry, this is fookin' hilarious.
Et tu, Ukraine?
The Egypt part of Condi's trip has been called off. She's going to Jerusalem, on to Malaysia, and then she doubles back to Italy to meet the Ay-rabs. There's no immediate pressure for a ceasefire now that it's clear the IDF is going in on the ground.
LOL!!
Except now you've deleted her comment {snigger}. Good job I used "reply" (I notice you removed the link to whatever web site "Barbara" was boosting).
What the heck is it about this thread that's attracting spam?? It's not even that old.
Much like I think it's a mistake to dismiss the terrorists' own words regarding their motivations, I think we shouldn't overlook the spammers' words in this matter.
Clearly, it's the good design.
Nice vagina, Betty!
Such kind spammers.
Lovely people. Let's give them a thread.
You're welcome!
I don't think I could have kept all four of them satisfied if I hadn't taken a triple dose of V1agra. Anyway, you're welcome, folks, it was certainly my pleasure. :)
ROFLMAO!
LMAO!
Great work!
Great work!
Great work!
Laugh about the spam now, folks. In 15 days if you're still around, you'll be worrying where to get a meal that is not radioactive.
What is the basis for this theory of yours?
Well, if the choice were between radioactive and Spam™, I think I'd take my chances with the gamma emitters...
You know, on the odd chance Bigel is right, cba and Trillian will probably have the longest to live, as I don't think Canada would be directly targeted. Too bad the internet will probably be down, because imagine the fun as Bigel started bleeding from every orifice, his teeth dropping out of his gums, and got on the internet one last time to say "I told you so".
What is the basis for this theory of yours?
Same basis as his comment HERE referring to my question about "Norwegian Brunettes" with a photo of native born Bente Kahan
ED...
All consdered, sounds like poetic justice to me.
Great work!

He must be so embarassed. I know I would be.
Nice blog!
Good design!
Thank you!
I have nothing to do with those other satisfied customers! We're all totally different people!
LMAO!
zevorkie must be busy...
Why is this the spammers' active time of day? Most weird.
Beats me. What a pain in the patootie...I'm trying to relax and drink beer and I got spam coming out my ears.
OK, lawn mowed, ant killer sprayed at fire ant mounds, half a load of laundry folded befor elosing motivation for that (but creating an empty basket for the next part), a load of laundry through the washer into the dryer, and a load of baby bottles cleaned and sterilized.
Now its time for some Ste. Genevieve Texas Blush wine (on sale at Kroger) and UFC on Spike TV. Only thing better would be a hurricane or tornado documentary on TV, but not to be.
Such polite spammers.
Such polite spammers.
Can't find the corkscrew. But I have a single 'tall-boy' can of Budweiser in the fridge.
Ed...
Out of curiosity, what do you use to eradicate fire ants? Is it Malathion? What dilution?
Ortho Home Defense spray. After I saturate the mounds, I poke the tip a few inches deep and spray some more, to ensure the ant-murder is complete.
Sigh...
LOL!
Avast ye scurvy knaves! Grab yer cutlasses, we've been boarded!
Awwwww....
LOL!
They call me "spam magnet"...
*waddles away humming*
Radioactive turkey, stuffing, creamed onions, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts and rolls. After a day of radioactive Dallas Cowboys football action.
You hit the nail on the head Justyn.
I was about to say, "Frank, WTF are you playing at?" when I realised this is Frank the Spammer, not our Frank.
#60 Ev -
That animation is hilarous. I didn't see it the first time you posted it.
So all this time, I thought Ev and Zorkie were simply deleting spam.
Instead, they're just passing it along to other blogs like a hot potato.

Hey, Potfry had it coming.
Hee hee :)
LOL!! This thread is hysterical, I keep deleting spam in it but never read the rest.
zorkie, you missed the links in the nicks of #24 - #26.
Fixed, you eagle-eyes :-)
I like the clairvoyant reply in #22. :)
zorkie, I see what you mean.
:-D
