Nobody Is Innocent Here

I usually watch Countdown with Keith Olbermann to see what’s on Oddball and also who he has deemed the Worst Person in the World.Â? (It’s also a good way of keeping tabs on the stupidity that is Bill O’Reilly.)Â? Well… what I saw in the first 3 minutes of Countdown made me ashamed to be an American.

You see… the Idiot in the White House’s response to Lebanon calling for a ceasefire was to tell Israel to keep the civilian casualties to a minimum.Â? This is of course followed by the Israeli ambassador to the U.N. spitting back the whole “Axis of Evil” spiel which included pretty much all of the other countries in the Middle East.

Could someone please explain to me why the life of a Lebanese child is worth so much less than the life of an Israeli child?Â? Oh yeah… if the airports in Israel were taken out like the Israelis took out the Beirut airport, people would be up in arms all over the flipping world and the US would decimate whoever touched their airports.Â? So… explain to me why the infrastructure of Lebanon is worth so much less than the infrastructure of Israel?

Hezbollah should not have kidnapped the Israeli troops but… do you think that decimating the country of Lebanon is going to do anything other than infuriate them more so that more crap happens to Israeli troops?

Why the haitch-eee-double-hockey-sticks are we supporting a country with such a wretched human rights record?Â? Do we really think Jesus is going to come back and pat us on the backs for killing everyone off in the Middle East except for the state of Israel?

I am so ashamed of the idiot who claims to lead this country and of those people in this country who think what Israel is doing is right.
