Good post Top Gun. Back to the original premise of this post I see the NYT has seen the light and retracted their assertions that it was the Israeli's that bombed the hospital in Gaza:

Re: I had a dream…
I see South Korea has worked out just great. All we have left over from that conflict is a very hot border and an aggressor nation with a demented leader running things north of that border that's now a nuclear power and wants to nuke us. And if you think that the U.S. leaving a small occupying for...

Re: Truth is the first casualty
Yes, there probably would have been American casualties, but far fewer than any attempt at a ground invasion. And the Japanese could only manage so many air strikes before they would have been entirely out of planes. The Soviets declaring war against Japan was arguably every bit as effective as the...

Much like the left and their mantra of "Repeat a lie often enough and people will believe it", Hamas is trying to lie their way out of bombing their own hospital by saying Israel is to blame. I wonder how many here believe that nonsense.
