Don't you think to the average Iraqi or Afghan civilian the American soldier is a terrorist? They went there to kill people and blow **** up, so you can't call them humanitarians exactly. Just let that soak in for a while and marinate, just think about it.

This particular Hezbollah leader greenlighted the killing of over 200 American soldiers in their barracks in 1983. Irael has nothing to do with that.

I'm no "Israel citizen wannabe" but I do recognize a race bating anti-semite thread when I see it.

CNN is an American Corporation. If they want to fire one of their reporters who chose to publically Tweet her support and respect for a terrorist who is responsible for the murder of US soldiers then that is their perrogative.

Non sense. You simply can't compare the two. Hezbollah's stated intention is to wipe Israel off the map. Israel is for a two state solution.

If you cant see the difference then that should worry you. If you cant tell the difference between good and evil then maybe you shouldnt be here. I shouldnt have to explain why they are evil and why our efforts are not. We are the good guys. They are the bad guys. They need to be defeated because even if we were to sit over here and do nothing with the rest of the world, they will continue to kill and destroy the innocent. They will continue to spread terror.

The U.S has had a extremely pro Israel middle east policy since Israel stole land that was not theirs and declared a state in 1948. The U.S has no business in the middle east if they had not been there then over 200 American soldiers would have been alive still. Maybe they should have put them on the southern border so when they got out of the military they could find work that an Illegal had not stolen yet.

^^^Your opinion.

Yet this has absolutely nothing to do with a CNN reporter being fired.

A showcase of pure idiocy and lunacy in our mainstream media. I don't think Octavia should have retracted her remarks either.
