Subscribe to RSSIsraeli forces conducted an airstrike on a convoy the Syrian-Lebanese border Wednesday. NBC's Richard Engel joins Brian Williams with his analysis.
News analysis
Israelis understood something was up earlier this week when two of the country’s five Iron Dome anti-missile defense systems were moved north to protect Israel’s third largest town, Haifa. The government said the deployment was routine.
This was followed by a flurry of press reports, all quoting anonymous official sources, warning that Israel would not allow Syria and Hezbollah to cross its so-called "red lines."
That meant if Syria attempted to transfer any of its advanced rockets or non-conventional weaponry, such as chemical or biological agents, to Hezbollah, the Shiite militia in southern Lebanon, Israel would halt the move by force.
Ever since the start of the Arab Spring, Israel has had one overriding principle: Stay out. But when that principle came up against its "red lines," the military risk appears to have outweighed the political risk.
Wednesday night a convoy of trucks was attacked by warplanes in Syria, near the border with Lebanon, according to U.S. and regional officials. From Israel – silence. It is believed the convoy was carrying advanced Russian-made SA-17 anti-aircraft missiles, which can hit multiple targets, including fighter jets, helicopters and drones, within 40 miles. They would remove Israel’s critical freedom of flight over Lebanon.
The stakes were raised later by what Syrian state television said was an attack by Israeli warplanes against a military research center northwest of the country's capital, Damascus. There was no confirmation that the target was an advanced weapons collection depot.
From Israel’s point of view, it would be better to stop these weapons from falling into the hands of what it calls terrorists, who could then intimidate all of northern Israel and much of the rest of the country, too, rather than wait for Hezbollah to get them and then have to respond. Prevention rather than reaction.
But the attack implies that Israel feels compelled to join the battle -- not to protect either side in the Syrian conflict but rather to protect its own security. And this move would send a clear message to Israel’s ultimate enemy, the regional power that backs both the Syrian regime and Hezbollah: Iran.
Iran has long threatened to destroy Israel, and Hezbollah is part of its arsenal. Israel choking off the supply of weapons to Hezbollah limits Iran’s future threat against Israel.
Israel never confirms these kinds of attacks. But a comment Tuesday from the head of Israel’s air force didn’t mince words. Major-General Amir Eshel said at a conference that Israel is involved in a “war between wars” and that "this campaign is 24/7, 365 days a year. We are taking action to reduce the immediate threats, to create better conditions in which we will be able to win the wars, when they happen."

OK. According to Syria, Israel has bombed a 'military research facility (the assembly facility for Russian SA-17 rockets) on the outskirts of Damascus. If Iran plans to jump into the conflagration on behalf of Syria, they can now consider their bluff seriously called. I really doubt Iran has the cojones for this type of operation, preferring to stay under the radar with their killing squads on the ground in Syria, rather than exposing their air force to decimation at the hands of the US fleet in the Arabian Gulf. We will know soon, I suspect.
Hold it.. We do not want to get involved in Israeli BRAT-Games. let them get F*cked by Iranians, Syrians, Hizbilla or all of the above..
sicktired - Do you ever get involved in Pakistani brat games? they kill US citizens, hide terrorists buddies of yours while taking billions of our money. sick enough for you to make you really tired?
Kardashian,
pakistanis do not receive 25 billion plus a year in aid/kick-back/preferential treatment etc.
Pakistanis do not pretend to be our ally; They have their issues there and they are trying to eal with it as best as they can.
Israel does claim to be our ally but we do not get nothing but trouble in return. We have billion muslims mad at us because we "support" them unconditionally. They kill muslim children and hide under our skirt.
Ok, here's the part that I don't get: Why does Iran consider it in their interest to prop up that dweeb Hafez Assad? It would seem to me that Iran's chances of gaining even more influence in Syria (and by extension, Lebanon) would be increased by the chaos and power-vacuum accompanying the toppling of Assad, similar to how the power vacuum at the fall of Mubarak in Egypt has led to the ascension of the Muslim Brotherhood in that country. Or am I just ascribing too much rational logic to the Iranians, whose national pasttimes are beating themselves over the back with chains and cutting off their noses to spite their faces?
Sick you jst proved your ignorance, last year Pakistan got $500 billion from us and yes they do pretend to be our Allies, why do you think we took out osama without telling them we were going to do it, because they would have helped him escape like they had done many times before.....
Every time we say we are not going to give the packs any more money they start with their crap of how they are not going to go after terrorist any more!!!!!!!! You are definitely a moron with no clue!!!!
Sick~~~~~~~~>>> Sadly, some Muslim children have suffered collateral damage in the various shoot-'em-up exercises betwix Israel and the Palestinians. But, Israel does not deliberately target Muslim children. However, the Palestinians have deliberately targeted innocent Israelie children and have done so often and for decades. And have often gone on to brag about it.
More like MILLION, not billion.. And thats not much my friend.
Israeli trolls always argue about aid the muslim countries receive, so lets take a look:
-Egypt: $3 bilion for 80 million people = $37.5/person
-israel: $3 billion for 6 million = $500/person.
So, Israel should get only about = 37.5 x 6 million = 225 million, tops.
garrie.... what the heck are you talking about. where did you get that figure.of the top of your head. pakistan gets some $2 billion and that is not an aid. it is a deal that they would allow u.s to operate in pakistan and they would aid u.s with transportation and a whole bunch of other stuff. the aid that goes to israel is unconditional and it has become legislated by the congress and the house. huge difference..
According to a back issue of Harper's magazine, Israel must shore up a peace process with a democratic
revolution in civil rights and prepare to join the economic union. A pipe dream? Perhaps. The alternative,
however, is a nightmare Perhaps Israel could just learn from the European nations for awhile---not too much
to ask, Israel would certainly strengthen the EU." --and in the nick of time as I read Britian may drop out.of t he EU. Perfect timing!!!
Good idea , but EU has high ethics, intefgrity etc. in especially financial affairs.
Israel got none of that..
sick - the more you write the more it becomes obvious that you are quite uneducated, uninformed and illitrate. You have no clue about EU. Come back after you graduate from the fifth grade.
And the more you write, you are proving that you're "litrate". Sure, come on fk, give it a break. You don't get responses to all your bs, but there will be responses, because much of what you write is just wrong and racist to boot.
farideh,
You do not know jack about EU.
@Sicktired Lan -- thanks, I think it is a good idea too. In fact, a solution. Some say only God is the solution,
but why not give this solution a whirl. As former President Bill Clinton says, "Well, you never know." In
fact, since his wife is no longer Secretary of State, send Clinton over there as special envoy. I have
reservations about Kerry.
farideh. k.. you are a sick and hateful person. typical israeli supporter who tags everyone with all kind of @!$%#. you are an embarrassment to every iranian. you are a mean spiritied individual who likes to degrade people and pretend to be educated and civilized. what doen't come with education is common sense which you don't poses and it can not be tought in school If I had to guess, I would guess that you are getting paid to live a luxurious life just for putting hateful and degrading comments here. trader. I think you have traded your sole . although I don't support the Iranian regime and I have had my share of problems with them from jail to getting beat up and you know what I am talking about, but when it comes to it, the integrity of iran regardless of who is in charge would be my priority. the regime is eventually going to change, but if iran is disolved that would be the saddest day of my life and I would blame traders like you and your kind for it.
Anonymous non-Economist. Watch those random statistics you make up on the spot. It would seem you are not very professional with your estimates, let alone on the caliber of any economist. It is rather disconcerting that the collective Internet community is so uninformed (which would seem to be contradictory since the Internet is such a wealth of information and knowledge, but it seems people are more interested in reading about pseudo-scientific blogs of people who couldn't even pass as astrologist, instead of about physics, Relativity, advanced mathematics, technology, or human genomes as it were).
I assume Anonymous "Economist" is referring to a Khazar theory, which is not supported by genes, archeology, or history. And it would suggest people effectively abandoned areas of modern-day Kazakhstan and Russia. This did not happen. Moreover, Khazar nobility converted to Judaism in the 8th/9th century. We know that Jews had established communities throughout the political body known as the Roman Empire; chiefly from Judea, Anatolia, and Egypt (one of the largest Jewish populations in the 3rd century was in Alexandria).
We know that since time machines did not exist then, or now, it would not have been possible for Khazar converts to establish those already existing communities in the former Roman Empire.
If we use Samaritans (which are a group that haslived continuously in Israel since it was under Ottoman rule, and when it was Judea, province of Rome, and before when it was a Kingdom recognized by the Roman Senate) as an example of a "pure" bloodline, and representative of the Sephardic genotype, we find 80% of Ashkenazi share genotypes with this group, and not with any Turkic people.
The fact is, Jews do have genetic ties to the area. We can also consider the fact that many Palestinians hold genetic ties to the Arabian peninsula, prior to the expansion of Islam (mainly noted by the fact there are some genetic differences between Arab Christians/Samaritans, and Arab Muslims--as there are indeed some genetic differences between Coptic Christians in Egypt and some of the Muslim population).

I myself am totally against war and if everyone were like me there would be none. Truth is that countries have been fighting wars a long time. One reason that all those other arab countries hate the Israeli's is because they know the Israeli's could whip all their behinds. I'm not too worried about them, I'd be concerned for the country or countries that push them to far.
Thank you Israel for demonstrating to the world that your security, and the security of the surrounding ME countries matter. Israel set a "red line", Hezbolah (the proxy of terrorist Iran) crossed it by moving chemical weapons, and Israel acted decisively. Anyone who has a problem with a small country in a very bad neighborhood defending its citizens, has a problem defending their own family at home when threatened by terrorists bullies.
France just did that in Mali. The rest of the whimpy world needs to learn from it, or shut up.
farideh, good post, although I thought I'd never see the day when someone would point to France as the example from whom "the rest of the whimpy world needs to learn." These are interesting times indeed.
fk... more bs from you. your analysis is stupid. france is in mali for one reason. profit. they are there to secure oil, uranium and gold .nothing else . shame on you to try to deceive people to what the israeli are doing is just. shame shame shame.
War is part of life in the middle east!!
THERE WILL NEVER BE PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST!!
This is where Armageddon will begin!!! THE END!!
Netanyhu wants war: The question is how to get his dullwitted American coolies to voluntarily be cannon fodder for it.
"Ever since the start of the Arab Spring, Israel has had one
overriding principle: Stay out. But when that principle came up against its "red
lines," the military risk appears to have outweighed the political risk."
I never thought NBC can come up with an intelligent and unbiased sentence - but they did.
Armageddon: "Mount of Megiddo," city in central Palestine, site of important Israeli battles.
The Battle of Armageddon will actually begin before Jesus returns, but Jesus will strike the victorious blow that will terminate the MAN OF SIN and his accomplices, and set the stage for the 1000-year Kingdom of Christ.
The following report just released two weeks ago. Why do you think Obama did that?
By R. Jeffrey Smith
The Center for Public Integrity
The Obama administration has quietly arranged for thousands of chemical
protective suits and related items to be sent to Jordan and
Turkey
Jordan and Turkey now must be thankful they don't have to use it now.
And you must be happy that Israel since its "inception" has always been a "peaceful" loving its neighbors country, not. Remember its "inception", killing all the men, women and children, and animals. Let's work for peace, not bigotry.
farideh..."The Obama administration has quietly arranged...". If R. Jeffrey Smith distributed the information, I can't help but wonder about Mr. Smith's definition of "quietly".
Obama wisely provide protection to his allies in a event of a chemical attack from madman dictators like (Assad the Butcher) "smart thinking Obama"
John - I agree with what Obama has done in this case. My presumption is that Obama was briefed by Israel on the "red line" with moving or using chemical weapons in Syria. That warning prompted Obama to help Jordan and Turkey prepare for such event. Israel always prepares their own citizens. Now that Israel showed they mean business, the threat is over, for now.
fk... more bs from you.... It seems that the only thing that matters to you is israelis citizens. how about other nations living under the fear of the warmonger nutcaseyahu . how about the schitzophrenic bibi threaten to attack iran with nuclear boms which they illegally poses. you are so full of it that is beyond believe.
Well done, well done, well done indeed, Israel! Don't let anyone deter you all from doing what you have to do. Well done !!! (Excellent assessment, indeed!) - RC
(I can only hope that high powered U.S. lasers from space (solar charged) will soon serve to augment your national defense, Israel. At that point it will never pay for your enemies to arm themselves anymore!) - RC
(Keep in mind that the very best way to shoot down enemy missiles is from space as well! Lightning bolts from the sky!) - RC
(PS - We actually have these high powered mobile battlefield lasers right now. We just have to figure out how to space base them. Gee, whiz, and we can still keep space nuclear free!) - RC
(You will never be able to make space thermonuclear free, not unless you want to end all life here on Earth! (ha, ha!) Yes, you actually can trigger a thermonuclear explosion with lasers alone, and very even small ones as well. Thermonuclear propulsion, anyone?) - RC
((Pulsed droplets of thermonuclear fuel, struck by intense laser beam pulses at the focal point of the external rocket nozzle. Actually, this is the very best way to power ourselves to Mars, with the help of slow motion (long travel, electomagnetic?) shock absorbers mounted on the rear of the deep space vehicle. (I.E., store it up fast, and then release it very slowly, with the help of nano technology capacitor banks, and even help to potentially charge up the next laser pulse at the same time.)) - RC
Are we drifting slightly off-topic, Rick?
rick you are way off man.
awesome job Israel, Israel kick @ss!
So from the comments i've been reading most of what I see is Israel had no right to a preemptive attack I will explain to you why Israel legally acted.
But the question you should be asking yourself is this: If Syria's airports and military bases are being taken over by rebels why is Assad selling and shipping his only form of protection against such attacks? My guess is to be prepared for chemical warfare in that region.
Anyway Israel has this thing called a Peace Treaty with Hezbollah this peace treaty also prohibits Hezbollah from obtaining and operating "sophisticated" weapons so IF and I say IF Israel has somewhat strong evidence that those weapons/trucks that they attacked were headed to Hezbollah they are legally able to react. Now Syria has been condemned from transporting any type of weapon outside of its borders, sanctions are also put against them.
With that being said I hope these actions don't have a domino effect where Turkey starts firing in then Iran then the U.S, this is not a war we want to be in nor a war the world can afford.
(If it ultimately NEEDS to happen, then it really needs to happen RIGHT NOW, since this is the very best way to preempt WWIII !!! BRING IT ON NOW !!!) - RC
It ultimately is GOING to happen, war is a cycle of life. Nobody or nation can be the most powerful nation forever we need to remember that. My hopes are that we can keep the war over there. However Canada's and Mexico's ease of immigration only scares me that the war will not be kept over there. I think as of now we need to keep out of it, and when I say that we need to keep the public war out of it. We will never completely be out of any war we're the world police, so I guess the point i'm getting to is that if it comes down to it let's send our best and most secretive over there(i.e: Seal Team, Marine Recon, Delta, etc.)
It is a reasonable fear that war may be inevitable. Ask why. Just look around at most muslim countries in ME or Africa where radical islam is at play and you will see death, bloodshed, murder of inccocents and kidnap and murder of foreigners, bombing of embassies, and Iran has their finger in most of them. Israel, at least geographically, is on the front line against the battle against terrorism. If we stop interfering with Israel and let them off the leash, they will take care of their problem, which is world's problem, once and for all.
We need to let them off the leash and then back them.
And that is what America will do.
Israel had every right.
And she has a right to attack the nuclear facilities in Iran.
Anyone who says different is a person who took too much acid in college.
Few people even realize that the so called Palestinians are not even a people, they are an invention.
And everyone in the middle east wants Israel destroyed because of religion.
I think I would be a little paranoid and preemptive too if I were them.
All they want is peace.
I agree, we need to stick by Israel not sure if any of you guys have served but Israel is easily able to handle that whole regions by their self if they want, they are as combat oriented and proficient as any other nation in the world.
As if there is any real concern to justify or argue the "legality" of Israel's airstrike, just consider that Hizballah (sp?) is a tool of Iran, whose president has sworn to "wipe Israel from the face of the earth." Such threats are to be taken at face value, thus such a statement from a country's leader who is still very much in office, is an open declaration of war. Let me say that again: A state of war exists between Iran and Israel. What more justification could possibly be needed?
farideh k.... you are a warmonger just like your master...the nutcaseyahu...u.s supports saudi arabia who is the mother of all terrorists like al queda, salfis, wahabis, and jihadists .Iran actually was partnered with gw bush in fight against alqueda. and again you have proven to be the biggest bigot and liar stating that iran has its fingers in most of them. iran and the saudi backed alqueda, salafis , wahabis, jihadis are like two pole of a mgnet that repell each other and in no mean iran is supporting any of these terrorists. iran supports hizbollah and hamas for tactical porposes. Israel is the mother of modern terrorism as we know it. they are the one who go all around the world to assassin people, they are the one who flase flag many terroist activities.
Israel only and has always wanted peace.
Ever since the 1943 partition agreement they have abided.
Only to be attacked again and again.
I agree with Israel, enough is enough.
And the US has your back, no matter what Obama says.
A president does not run America.
He learned that when he had to re-paint Guantanamo.
Hmmm...I basically agree, but they were not above giving the British a deadly nudge in 1946.
He should have been scrubbing the floor on hand and knees with a tooth brush. You can see I served in 2 Military's.
Russian-made SA-17 anti-aircraft missiles, I like them<:) Iran is like a chicken with a broken leg, its worthless. I can see Iran moving against Israel, One nuke its over, that butthole in Iran would be the leader of ruins. The problem with those countries, there not like the US that puts this high price on life. They just get it done, and know there is something more grand on the other side, and I don't mean 70 virgins, the Islamic's believed that when I was there in 76 protecting the pipeline. All those countries have been at war for thousand's of years and don't need any help from us. Anyway they may not get much from this (I wish this comment page wasn't restrictive) Thing in Washington he don't like Israel, but boy if it was Egypt look out, he'd give away everything we got. What was America thinking??
Venom: Well said. As for the use of nuclear weapons, we let that genie out of its bottle in 1945 and have spent a long and arduous time putting it back in. If the genie is let out once more, it will never be put back in again.
I'm amazed at the narrow mindedness of all of the comments that are against Israel taking out these weapons. Their prejudice is blinding them to the fact that if those missiles or chemical weapons fall into the hands of terrorists that there is no guarantee that they will only be used against Israel, which by itself could set off WW3. The other very serious danger is that we could wake up one day to the news of airliners falling out of the sky or thousands gassed and dead anywhere in the world. If that was to happen to any of their relatives I'm sure that they would be the first to ask for military intervention to try to get the weapons out of the terrorists hands! An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Are you joking ? It was nato and the USA that used uranium and chemical weapons on innocent children in Fallujah ! Many children years after are suffering from birth defects ! Check the facts !
Tony: Please cite your source for your claim that, "It was nato and the USA that used uranium and chemical weapons on innocent children in Fallujah !"
I call "B.S." on you. Put up, or shut up.
Don't you follow the news reports for the last few years ? It was in the Guardian UK, Daily Mail, Global research, American Free Press, etc, many news scientist did a report on deformities of Fallujah children as a result of the nato chemical bombing ! If you do not find this disturbing, then there is something wrong with you !
bigger in texas.....tony is correct and if you weren't so biased, you would research it before you call him liar. here is link that u.s used depleted uranium in fallujah and now there are a very hi incidents of children being born with birth defects. there are some bizzre pictures that would make you sick both in afghanistan and iraq.http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/dec/30/faulluja-birth-defects-iraq
ED-2874315: It was Syria who violated UNSC Resolution 1701 by providing arms to Hezbollah in the first place, an ILLEGAL act regarding an ILLEGAL terrorist organization. Preemptive action to stop this is perfectly justified.
jabo... yah. it is not like israel not braking any international laws at all. hamas is an elected official which actually was created by israel, just because you call them terrorists, it dosen't make them one. a terrorist to you is a freedom fighter to the palestinian. israel is the biggest terrorist organization by defenition. they have attacked a country pre emptively and that is breaking international laws and there is nothing that justifies that.
Terrorist organization? Says who ? Israels Stern & Irgun were terrorist organizations and the USA supported them . Hizbollah was created out of the Amal/Shia population of Lebanon who needed some military might to protect its people against Israel and Sunni oppression. At first Israel & the Shia were friends, but when Israel invaded and occupied south Lebanon they became enemies ! SO the pussy leaders of the USA HAD to call them terrorist to please israel ! Hizbollah runs clinics, schools, welfare, & hospitals for the neglected Shia population in Lebanon. They only try to stay inside the Lebanon area. In a few years the USA will probably be on their side to fight Al-Qaida. It is all politics !
This is assuming that Israel is telling the truth which is a big stretch. I think WW111 is brewing now that the economy is about to explode. The Super Rich are behind this I'm certain. They want to keep control of the world no matter what may happen!
robert. israelis are natural born liars and nothing they say is the truth. it is embeded in their political culture and they do it flawlessly. you can't even assum that they tell the truth. they are the master of deceive.
I suggest that our brothers in Israel do whatever is necessary to take out all these terrorists bases surrounding their Homeland. Hezbollah and Syria are the first targets and, show no mercy to these murderers and terrorist PIGS! LONG live ISRAEL and Down with Hussein Obama, he's a co-conspirator against the Jewish State.
It is israel that occupies Syria-the Golan Heights ! They are the terrorist ! Any nation has a right to fight back ! Why is israel working with saudi arabia and arming alQaida terrorist in Syria ?
Israel, look out---Obama is arming Egypt despite of what that PIG Morsi said about Jews. Obama loves Muslims.
Israel never has to pay for its war crimes ! The big terrorist are israel, saudi arabia, and nato ! zionism, wahabism, illuminati- have to be the worlds evil ! When will the sheeple wake up ?
Tony, in comparison to what you have to say, NBC practices good journalism.
tony you are right on.
bigger in texas.... what tony is saying has nothing to do with nbc practicing good journalism. the fact is if there were chemical weopon on board, this would've been disastrous to the environment. them bastard israelis do what ever they want regardless to the international law and get away with it. it is time to stop them.
This wont prevent the movement of arms, it will just change how they do it. I doubt there will be anymore obvious convoys to blow up. The convoy might even have been a decoy.
Israel should be trying to reach peace, because endless war wont end well for Israel. Sooner or later they will get something bad, through. Peace is the only real solution. And whatever it costs, is less than the cost of fighting an endless war. Especially if they do finally carry out a big attack.
Israel is trying to reach peace, but they don't have to let themselves keep getting shot while they are reaching peace. It takes two sides to make peace, you know.
Terrorist will keep finding new ways to arm themselves, but Israelis will keep finding new ways to block those paths.
Just because your toe-nails will keep growing no matter how many times you cut them, doesn't means that you should stop cutting.
They should try harder. It certainly doesnt help that they keep expanding onto land that isnt theirs, and building where they know it will anger those they supposedly want peace with..
eli.. more bs from an israeli...israel is NOT trying to make peace. building in e1 territory is a prove that israel has no interst in peace. they never had any interst in peace. I also believe that the israelis are coroborating with saudis in the unrest in syria. a split sryia means that golan hight would never be returned to syria. and saudis gain is to weaken iran.
And then again, maybe Israel is trying to drag the US into Syria. Those Israelis, ah those smart Israelis ...
It was an unprovoked attack on Syrian soil by air ! Lets impose a " no fly zone' over Israel !
tony... how about international sanction. that will put an end to their satanic behavior. you know what they say "don't wish something bad upon someone or it will come to hunt you". Israelis have forced international sanctions on iran for 33 years. let see if they can survive a month of their own medecine..there are many organization that are divesting from israel. soon it will happen.
israeli carried out forced sterization on ethiopian jew immigrants in an apparent attempt to resrict the birth of non-white jews. The racism of israel has no bound.
This is not reported on NBC news for fear of embarassing the zionist state.

Any response from eli100 or his brethren israel apologists?
sieg heil there herr heinrich!
when is the next nazi youth group meeting?
i'm sure you will attend
Yup, there was talk of defense cuts looming.. better get a war going.. Where is the evidence that there were missiles on the trucks? Do we not require evidence anymore? Any person on this board who is saying ANY country had the right to go into a foreign country and drop bombs without seeing ANY evidence at all is just Blind and Ignorant. If it was YOUR country that had bombs dropped on it,then it would be an Act of War yes?? So the US wont draw the red line like Binyamin Netanyahu wants? Well, this is just an end-around, another means to his end. The nuclear Inspectors agree they cannot find any trace of Iran making a nuclear Bomb. Israel Even agreed they where still years away. But that doesn't fit in with "The Plan" I guess?
The whole , oh the truck had missiles on it, sounds a lot like the story of missing WMD in Iraq. Once again no evidence was needed. I guess we don't need facts? You all here seem to believe it.. Why? because they said so? yesterday it was "oh you cant believe anything the Government says, but today, because it is what you want to hear, its " oh yeah they wouldn't lie"?
I personally am tired of this country spending "My Tax Dollars" to instigate war. I see everyday people complain "Their tax dollars" are being given to the lazy no good liberals. Well. I don't want my tax dollars used anymore to kill innocent children in other countries anymore. I want this government to stay out of the crap in the M.E. and pay attention to the problems here at home. Bring our troops home! Keep them here! Close half the bases that we have ALL over the world.
This is going to start WW3, you wait and see. This is the straw... the lightest feather... that brings the whole house down.. wait and see.. The whole "we don't like what they are thinking" so we better kill them into submission WILL NEVER WORK.
The economy is finally gaining ground and we are now going to get dragged into a war. (shakes head) The people who swear " this is foretold in the bible and who are saying yay bring it on".. you are out of your minds! Why is it that People cant wait for a war to start?... no wonder the world is in such trouble. When will we learn? when we blow the planet up so much we cant live here anymore?
It's late and I am tired but when i read this article i Couldn't Believe it! Hope all the War Mongers are Happy now!
