The Lebanese Prime Minister's alternate universe

Captain's Quarters:

Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Siniora takes to the pages of the Washington Post to convince Americans of the evil that Israel commits in the current war. It is a remarkable document, utterly free of any hint of Hezbollah's responsibility for committing an act of war against Israel, their consistent and deliberate targeting of Israeli citizens from Lebanese territory, or Siniora's failure to disarm Hezbollah or to even bother to attempt it. Instead, Siniora wants us to conclude that Lebanon's harboring of Hezbollah has no bearing on the current conflict....

...
What the Muslim biggots who want to destroy Israel have devised is a way to fight without consequence to the state. Arafat used the subterfuge of the Al Aksa Martyr's Brigade to cover his war against Israel while pretending to be a political entity at peace with Israel. In Lebanon Hezballah has co-opted the state without taking responsiblities of the state. Thus all the destruction of the state infrastructure is somebody elses problem aned sure enough other Muslim countries will come in and pay for the repairs without Hezballah haveing to suffer any of the costs or consequencies of its actions. Unless the UN does something, which is unlikely, Hezballah's weapons woill be replaced and probably enhanced.

In Lebanon the state under this Prime Minister is ignoring the consequences of Hezballah's actions and attempting to shift blame to Israel. That is not the conduct of a mature person.

    I agree.

    I was shocked and extremely disappointed that Siniora's op-ed piece failed to even hint at any Lebanese (or Hizbollah) responsibility for the current conflict.

    For chrissakes Hizbollah snuck across internationally recognized borders and killed and kidnapped Israeli solders. The longer people like Siniora ignore the obvious (shared culpability), the longer everyone will have to wait for true peace.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
