It looks like a de-facto invasion to anyone who reads or watches the news.

Its funny how watching the news can give you such a false impression, no?

Bush and co forfeited their right to criticise another country for threatening another country, occupying its capital and overthrowing its government when…

Libertas, interesting stuff in your post. Much of it we don't hear on CNN and BBC. We have to wonder why not.

If Russia hadn't stepped in, the people of S Ossetia would be in the same situation as those in Gaza.

Israel has strategic oil pipeline and economic interests in Georgia that it wants to keep under control." Why shouldn't it want to?

Nothing wrong with that, I guess, but it does explain the news coverage we're getting.

some impossibly fantastic conspiracy... Could he have been murdered? Absolutely.

You're not making much sense!

Helter Skelter, Israel's wars were not defensive. They have often attacked their enemies and their allies. The attack on the USS Liberty is just one example. Iran has not initiated wars with other countries for a very long time (centuries?). Iran has long proven itself to be responsible and peaceful.…

kinniku, Why do you believe that he could not have been murdered. To me it seems sabiwabi is only suggesting it as a possibility, not a certainty.

either he committed suicide or he was "suicided"

As for Ivins, I assumed it was a suicide too, but then I see headlines…

Israel once again forced to do the world's dirty work.

No, Israel IS the world's dirty work.

The entire world should be more concerned with Israel's current nuclear bombs than Iran's ALLEGED (no proof) ambitions for aiming to get a few in a decade or so.

kinniku, Please make an honest effort to inform yourself before asking others to prove the obvious. Olmert deserves to be tried at the Hague. To not understand why is to be out of touch with ME issues.

kinniku, Why do you get the impression I made this up? I was referring to Olmert's admissions at the commission, not about the conclusion of the commission. According to Haaretz: "Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told the Winograd Commission that his decision to respond to the abduction of soldiers with a…

kinniku The attack on Lebanon was planned long before the two soldiers were taken. Olmert even admitted this to the Winograd Commission.
