Ambushed
May 31, 2010
No one should be shocked, shocked by this incident with the flotilla of so-called "peace activists" (aka terrorists/terrorist sympathizers), bringing "humanitarian aid" (aka weapons) to the Gaza strip (where there is NO humanitarian crisis), while rejecting Israeli appeals, before and during, to handle the situation peacefully. [Check out these videos.]
Expect the usual Pavlovian response, from the usual cast of characters, i.e.:
- The UN Security Council, which never met an oppressive regime it didn't like, will convene at the behest of every Arab/Muslim dictatorship and tyrannical regime out there;
- The not-so-righteous "international community" will condemn the loss of (terrorist/terrorist sympathizer) lives, never mind the Israeli Navy Seals who were ambushed and seriously wounded;
- And America.....well, stay-tuned, as we no longer have Ambassador John Bolton defending American interests at the UN. What we do have is an American administration that will gladly sell its allies down the river, and apologize to every terrorist-sponsoring regime in existence today.
As the late Pakistani dictator General Zial ul Haq once explained to his ambassador in Washington: "Being [an ally of] the United States is like living on the banks of a great river. Every four years it changes course, and leaves you either flooded, or high and dry."

Check out this interview with Maj. General (ret) Paul Vallely about some ominous developments in the Middle East.
Beyond wining and dining Iran's Foreign Minister, let's hope the powers-that-be in Washington DC are paying attention, as it's only a matter of time....

Notable Quotables
"Don’t threaten us with cutting off your aid. It will not work. I am not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid."
~ Israeli PM Menachem Begin, in June 1982 at height of Lebanon War, responding to then Senator Joe Biden in front of Senate Foreign Relations Committee, after Biden had attacked Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria and threatened to cut economic aid to Israel (more here).
