That was funny

Slept late today due to gamenight (Played the new version of Britannia game) from Fantasy Flight Games. Pretty solid game.) so I’ve come late to Morning Joe today.

I thought that Mikia’s, Pat & Tom’s Brokaw’s heads were going to blow up when Tom Freedman stated and Mike Barnicle agreed that its a war and the notion of proportionate response was nonsense. Mika then complained that so many more Palestinians have been killed than Israeli no difference given between civilian and military.

She quickly changed the subject to “torture”. I haven’t seen the article in question but the methods described don’t sound like torture to me.

A tad of Joe

On Morning Joe today they have been touching on the president’s press conference yesterday.

I watched it. It was a fine job of defending his record but on the WMD issue I really think he should remember Col’s Chu’s testimony before the house. He should have said disappointed at not finding large quantities of WMD rather than no WMD.

But the making fun of Joe the Plumber in Israel was distasteful. First of all it smacked of a caste system, how dare he go above his place? Second of all if the world press actually did their job concerning reporting then we wouldn’t need someone to tell us what is actually in front of our faces.

I missed the great Morning Joe “Torture” debate

UPDATE if you came here from the Dissenting Justice link it was wrong. The actual post you want is here but this post does have some background on the subject.

I’ll have to find the podcast but it looks like this was something heated and full of passion. I saw only the tail end and it was something.

Here is my personal take, there are two sides to this a legal and a moral one: (more…)

You’ve got to be kidding

Did I just hear Pat Buchanan say on Morning Joe that the reason there is no peace is that there is not a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital?

Yup land for Peace has worked REALLY well hasn’t it?

6:41 a.m. Joe asked Pat why the international community never reacts before Israel has to strike? Pat is ducking dodging and weaving.

6:42 a.m. “Would prime minister Buchanan go after Hamas?” I would go in but chase like Pancho Villa. Accuses Israel of operating a penal camp.

6:45 a.m. How does Israel get the UN to intervene before they have to go in? Nobody wants to answer, because it is impossible.
