Terroridiocy

This sounds like a Flight of the Conchords skit, it’s so hilariously absurdist. Wonder how his fellow comrades feel about this moron blundering around next to them.

White Phosphorus (WP)

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/wp.htm News, tonight, that Israel used Willy Pete during its bombing of Gaza. Doctors treating patients couldn’t figure out how to treat burns that were still smouldering, and Israel finally owned up.

Living on Borrowed Time in a Stolen Land | Adbusters Culturejammer Headquarters

http://www.adbusters.org/features/stolen_land.html A good summary of the present misery and conflagration that is today’s Gaza, written by a Jewish writer. (Leave it to Adbusters to present a dissenting viewpoint!) Much as I disliked the book, there’s a section of Lloyd Douglas’ The Robe that I found fairly well represented, and thoughts of which always surface whenever […]

Chris Morris: Ths absurd world of Martin Amis | Comment is free | The Observer

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2007/nov/25/bookscomment.religion Chris Morris – of all people – takes on Martin Amis’ trend towards racist insanity, and does it with his own distinct style.

The US blundered into Iraq, bombing and shelling, and doing a poor job of rebuilding the country, thus losing the hearts and minds for which they claimed to be campaigning. Now, with the country still mired in chaos and only partially rebuilt, they snipe petulantly […]

David Petraeus about the conduct of the unpopular war. […]
