    Well, what we do know is he was pulled ... and replaced with "one of the tribe" (Richard Engel) ... Doesn't look particularly good ... to say the very least ... Wanna lay odds on what type of bias Richard Engel might have ? ... lol ... ;)

    Sounds Like Israel Has Had Enough...

    You think her sentiments perhaps might have been influenced by the civilian Israelis (where she was reporting) "threatening to destroy" the news crew's vehicle if she "said a word wrong" ? (as detailed in the story) (A person who was reasonably intelligent - at least PR-wise - would read beyond...

    Sounds Like Israel Has Had Enough...

    Consider the dilemma involved with trying to explain reality to someone who apparently really believes that the United States has never been involved in "foreign meddling" overseas ... or that if it has, it was all entirely justified ... That's a level of ideological delusion that is not easily...

    Hmmm ... vacant schools ... That's where those phantom "human shields" attend, right ? ... lol ...

    If you were really informed on the matter (rather than just thinking that you are) you would be able to provide an answer to that question ... rather than being forced to just pose it as a rhetorical device ... The article that I provided previous to your post in fact references condemnation by...

    So much ignorance and misinformation there it's really hard to know where to begin ... The human rights community's consensus: Israel is committing war crimes

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    Well, considering it's from The Gateway Pundit - the home of The Stupidest Man On The Internet, Jim Hoft - I guess we shouldn't be surprised that the headline is FALSE ... IOW: no $6,000 per month for housing a single individual. And, quite frankly, I'm not really surprised that despite the...

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    The more relevant (and important) question is: Are you going to attempt to minimize or deny it ? The dude clerked for Robert Bork ... lol ...

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    Well, his experience in government may well have put him into the position of being privy to a lot of "detail" that most aren't really aware of ... One can (attempt to) dismiss that simply because one doesn't like his politics ... or because one doesn't like the ramifications of facts or...

    Of course, there's always the matter of the sequence of events: How an army of defense became an army of vengeance Barbarian: It's all in the eyes/mind of the beholder ... Shoot ... some barbarians even think that others are the barbarians ...

    Sounds Like Israel Has Had Enough...

    There would be a certain degree of hilarity (as well as a sort of pathetic delusion ...) involved with someone describing others as "barbarians", if that individual had gone to a foreign land and participated in an internal civil war of another nation, against some portion of the native...

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    Extensive experience within government over multiple administrations (including one Republican one) Cue that Twilight Zone opening theme ... Even while he was serving in the (Gerald) Ford administration ? LOL ... ;)

    Keep your Bibles open

    Yeah ... sure they do ... lol ... And if you believe that little piece of ginned-up hasbara, I've got a real nice bridge I'll sell ya ... Here's what preceded the above-linked public relations production that muttly has chosen to share: Israeli strike kills four Palestinian children playing...

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    I'm guessing Robert Reich ... just for starters ... Neither are you ... In fact, while I might not see eye-to-eye with Mr. Reich on much politically, it would be my guess that Reich probably has a better handle on the overall situation than most folks posting on the matter here. BTW - you...

    US Army POW is released in swap for 5 Gitmo detainees.

    Isn't Ralph Peters the wing-nut-in-residence at Faux News that was doing all the speculating about Bam's love affair and gay sexing with Hugo Chavez ?

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    A little legal analysis and historical background re: refugees and the US that seems like a fairly easy read, courtesy of a 1994 paper from a couple folks (Tang Thi Thanh & Trai Le) on faculty scholarship at Notre Dame Law School: The Legal Status of the Refugee in the United States

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    It's a complicated situation - one which is made more complicated by the legal obligations of our country - an aspect which many who are choosing to "opine" (aka "I'm a-gonna flap my gums ... and just remove any doubt whatsoever that I am indeed a fool ...") about the situation haven't a real...

    How much to save for taxes

    One point in response to Frank's comments on insurance: There may be some insurance that is deductible as a business expense, specifically I'm referring to Occupational Health Insurance (aka Worker's Compensation for self-employed individuals)
