Come on, I hope you did not think that he would say anything different now : With another aid ship steaming towards Gaza, Harry Reid, the second most powerful member of the Democratic Party in the country, issues an oddly-timed statement strongly defending Israel's flotilla raid: "Israel is one of our strongest and most important allies, and the United States stands firmly with Israel at this critical time. "I deeply regret the loss of life in the flotilla incident, including the death of an American citizen. "Israel has an obligation to protect its citizens and therefore has a clear right under international law to prevent weapons from getting in the hands of terrorists determined to target them. Israel indicated it was willing to put in place a process to ensure that legitimate humanitarian relief reached Gaza. Unfortunately this offer was rejected. "Israel has pledged to carry out a transparent and thorough investigation of this incident, and I look ...

It really does: Meanwhile, the only even decent statement from our own nation about how the IDF murdered that one American teenage citizen apart of the "Fallen on the Flotilla." “Protecting the welfare of American citizens is a fundamental responsibility of our government and one that we take very seriously,” Clinton said. “We are in constant contact with the Israeli Government, attempting to obtain more information about our citizens.” Clinton said that two other Americans had been injured, one on the flotilla and a third during a subsequent protest who remains hospitalized. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs Thursday said that “upon being told” that a U.S. citizen was among the dead, President Obama “expressed his deep condolences, and we certainly express our deep condolences to his family. Obviously, this is extremely horrible news for them.” No who knows if she got angry on the phone with Shimon Peres or whoever over there in the land of Zion, or if Oba...

Not looking good for the Netanyahu lovers out there : The first British survivor of the assault on the Mavi Marmara Gaza aid ship to return to London has told of her terror as Israeli troops ignored SOS calls for medical aid and continued to fire live rounds at activists. Sarah Colborne, director of campaigns and operations at the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, who was on board the Turkish ship when the Israeli navy mounted a raid early on Monday, gave a press conference in central London still wearing her grey prison fatigues from her spell in jail in Be'er Sheva, southern Israel. She described how she saw one man fatally wounded from a gun shot to the head and how passengers feared for their lives as Israeli troops trained laser sights on the activists through the ship's windows. Not looking good at all for all those that defend the US top ally in the Middle East...... including Ed Botch . Visit msnbc.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy

Vice President Biden, yesterday : US Vice President Joe Biden has offered the Obama administration's strongest defence of Israel's Gaza flotilla raid to date, in a interview on US television this evening, saying: "Israel has an absolute right to deal with its security interest." Appearing on PBS's Charlie Rose Show, Biden defended Israel's action in boarding the Gaza flotilla as "legitimate". After suggesting the flotilla's cargo of aid could have been unloaded elsewhere, Biden appears to brush off the international criticism, asking: " So what's the big deal here? What's the big deal of insisting it go straight to Gaza?" Well Vice President Biden, this is the big deal : A U.S. citizen of Turkish origin was among the nine people killed when Israeli commandos attacked a Gaza-bound aid flotilla, Anatolia news agency reported Thursday. And furthering how this is a "big f----- deal" in itself sadly: An officia...
