During the 7-day Arab-Israeli war, the opposing armies were camped extremely close to one another on the first night of the war. One Israeli yelled out: "Hey Abdul, are you there?"
On the Arab side, Abdul stood up and said "Yeah?" The Israelis took out their machine guns and mowed down Abdul.
The second night, another Israeli yelled out, "Hey Mohammed, are you there?"
On the Arab side, Mohammed stood up and said "Yeah?" The Israelis took out their machine guns and mowed down Mohammed.
On the third night, the Arabs got smart. One of them yelled "Hey Moshe, are you there?"
The Israelis yelled back, "No, Moshe isn't here but is that you, Achmed?"
Achmed stood up and said "Yeah?" and the Israelis took out the machine guns and mowed down Achmed.
Th-th-th-th-th-that's all folks.
A good one @bobcat.
And that is how 'they' are percieandved.
On a serious note on that war if folks are interested, pl read what the recently leaked contents of the secret file of Viladimir Vinogradov, then Soviet Ambassador to Egypt, reveal. The memo that he wrote to the Politburo.
Its totally shocking to say the least.
Those who seek to know like @banasy@chrissy@Philip@dazzle@portland tony@Hide behind and other bloggers would find it intriguing.
And where can I find that info, saywhat?
Bearing in mind I have only a cell phone.
sorry for the typo.
Good morning all.
Romney walked away with what he went to Tel Aviv for – a cool million dollars.
Now Mr.Panetta is on his way for oh, you guessed it already.
This is what we have come to be. But that's o.k .What will be will be God's will and all that.
Lets get on with doing what we love most, where's mah remote?
Remember Wolfowitz folks? A part of the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld sphere of American Disaster Inc. and one of the architects of Iraq invasion?
Well yes he along with his cohorts still runs free. This man had the gall to say" that US should arm rebels and a US war against Syria would bring democracy to that country".
Arrrrgh!
Of *course* he did, saywhat!
That war beat goes on and on and on....
IF There was EVER a Question on WHO CNN is "in the tank for", just take a look at their Line UP of headline son their website. (see if they even approve to post this). Really is amazing how these news networks have no inkling of objectivity anymore.
– Palestinians blast Romney remark
– The stakes for Romney in Israel
– House tax fight will frame election
– Zelizer: Why are tax hikes radioactive?
– Romney shrugs off 'wimp' question
– Who beat Mitt in Romney family Olympics?
– Bill Clinton gets big gig at convention
Every news organization has a partisan slant.
Every newspaper, every radio, every television news network has their parisan slant.
This is the way it is, anymore.
The days of non-biased news reporting went out when there became more than four channels on the airwaves...
@ saywhat, yes where do we find that! And WHY did Romney walk away with a million bucks? Someones taking for granted hes gonna be elected! And all the more reason not to vote him in!
Obama talking to Putin when he thought the mics were off "I'll have more leeway after the election.". Now who's takin what for granted???
Jay jay:
I agree, that was kind if dumb, but he *will* have more leeway after the election. 🙂
@banasy@chrissy
This item was reported widely in the international press but was suppressed here to keep the public insulated from knowing ( bad for our health, knowing)".Its on internet.just look for Ambassador Viladimir Vinogrodov on Yom kippur war'.
Well@chrissy
He had gone there to prove that he loves Israel more than President Obama (read pl get me elected) and as a 'future' president of US he said what they wanted him to say. A million dollars is peanuts to get him to be loyal.
Hope you are having a good day @banasy@chrissy .

This repeat was by mistake, pardon me.
@nofearman25
Oh, there is a lot that is kept away from us which our MS 'free' media considers bad for our health.
The treatment that Hillary Clinton got in Egypt, the ongoing massacre of minorities in India's etc Assam and Palestinians of course.
@saywhat, thank you for that tip and I will research. I always appreciate your posts as they are enlightening to say the least,
@bobcat(in a hat) you are my lucky charm regarding the healthcare rebate. I got a check in the mail today which gave me just enough to fill up on gas and buy a cup of coffee.
Non partisan news went out the window when federal gag orders were invented.
