Amazing how nations like the U.S. and Israel portray themselves
on the world stage as victims while both countries have the strongest military on the planet. Both countries also have a long history of interventionism(unprovoked invasions of sovereign counties to promote their agenda). The propaganda mill keeps rolling and the common herd keeps eating it up.

7. So, sometimes a bomb isn't a bomb?
If it is delivered in retaliation?

8. Apparently, it's okay as long as civilians are killed by 'accident'...
...over and over and over again.

5. Not so amazing. Tried and true.
That's exactly what the Radical Religious Right (in any nation, at any time) does, too -- and it works.

6. "Make the Lie Big Enough and Repeat it Often Enough...."
Wasn't it Karl Rove who said that...or was it Grover Norquist or a Right Wing Think Tank thug? :shrug:
