They are based in the U.S. and are largely U.S. citizens. is this part really a serious question?

As for the other, I rarely see them mention Israel.

So what and yours is a moot point. Bush said we would be in and out but yet he never got us out. Just the same as Obama. As I said, the real point is they both have been failures.

If a father hands his daughter keys to a car, and then the daughter is plowed into and killed by a drunk driver who is at fault? Father or drunk driver?
Incomplete. The father would be irresponsible to just hand his daughter keys to a car and send her out.

Justice for Palestine

I see lots of anti-Israel actions, not much if anything for syria - with over TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND killed in the last 4 years alone. I also see nothing for lebanon or iraq.

I believe they are funded by wealthy arab muslim and socialist donors.

Where did Bush say that we would be "in and out?"

But anyway, thank you for your honesty in admitting that you believe it is the father's fault when a drunk driver kills his daughter. Now we are making progress.

I don't recall Dubya saying that. But his SecDef definitely did.

  • "I can't tell you if the use of force in Iraq today would last five days, or five weeks, or five months, but it certainly isn't going to last any longer than that."
    • Interview with Steve Croft, Infinity CBS Radio Connect, November 14, 2002 [4]
"And it is not knowable if force will be used, but if it is to be used, it is not knowable how long that conflict would last. It could last, you know, six days, six weeks. I doubt six months."

Probably best for you not to speak of hypocrisy or illegitimacy, when the groups
you support are literally destorying the women and children of Syria, and much
of the Middle East.

Perhaps one of many reasons why Bush jettisoned Rummy, albeit too late in the game IMO.

Point taken, nonetheless.

Uhm, is it possible their plans changed in the lead up to march 2003? And while we're on the topic, why don't we mention how billy clinton led an air campaign that not only dropped more ordinance on a country than the US used in ALL of WW2, but he did not get congressional approval for it.

Back to the OP, what exactly is NOW, code pink and other such groups doing to help the women of syria? Or lebanon? Or Nigeria? Or Ukraine? Or north korea? Or Sudan? Or iraq?

Oh, that's right - Israel's not involved, so they didn't even know those countries existed.

Huh. You mean YOU are limited to what you can do because you don't care enough. Remember Rachel Correy? She was the left's goddess when she was overseas protesting for Palestinians. I thought she was an idiot, but at least she died fighting for something she believed in. I guess today's leftists are too lazy to do anything more than **** and whine in forums when someone on the Right does something they don't like, and turn a blind eye to their dear leader's failings. They don't even have the passion to argue for women's rights, unless they can make up a bunch of lies to benefit them in elections.

"We strong believe in women's rights! Unless, that is, those women are in other parts of the world...then hell with them."

Daily liberal hypocrisy shows up on this forum.
