		<description>There have been times when I started typing a comment about the Gaza War, but got distracted and had to stop...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yesterday in Gaza, the International Red Cross found &quot;four small [Palestinian] children next to their dead mothers in one of the houses. They were too weak to stand up on their own.&quot;  The children had been there with their dead mothers &lt;b&gt;FOR FOUR DAYS...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The International Red Cross said (on 1/8/2008) that it believes &quot;in this instance, the Israeli military failed to meet its obligation under international humanitarian law to care for and evacuate the wounded,&quot; according to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090109/ap_on_re_mi_ea/eu_red_cross_gaza_9&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Associated Press.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So let me translate:  &lt;b&gt;The International Red Cross is saying that Israelis are War Criminals.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;How f**king ironic?  How dare the Red Cross call Holocaust Descendents, &quot;War Criminals?&quot;  That&#039;s oxymoronic!

This shyt ain&#039;t rocket science EINSTEINS.  You will reap what you sow.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There have been times when I started typing a comment about the Gaza War, but got distracted and had to stop&#8230;</p>
<p>Yesterday in Gaza, the International Red Cross found &#8220;four small [Palestinian] children next to their dead mothers in one of the houses. They were too weak to stand up on their own.&#8221;  The children had been there with their dead mothers <b>FOR FOUR DAYS&#8230;</b></p>
<p>The International Red Cross said (on 1/8/2008) that it believes &#8220;in this instance, the Israeli military failed to meet its obligation under international humanitarian law to care for and evacuate the wounded,&#8221; according to the <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090109/ap_on_re_mi_ea/eu_red_cross_gaza_9" rel="nofollow">Associated Press.</a></p>
<p>So let me translate:  <b>The International Red Cross is saying that Israelis are War Criminals.</b></p>
<p>How f**king ironic?  How dare the Red Cross call Holocaust Descendents, &#8220;War Criminals?&#8221;  That&#39;s oxymoronic!  Isn&#39;t it???</p>

<p>All that I know is that inspite of my own Christian upbringing, if I were one of the children who clung to a dead mother for four days straight in a home bombed by Israelis&#8230;THEN I&#39;m probably going to spend the REST OF MY LIFE dedicated to killing Israelis&#8230;PERIOD.

		<description>Well,  I&#039;ve got until later this evening to figure out what to do.  The tickets are in such hot demand.  I don&#039;t want to get mugged for it.  But I do want someone to use it and enjoy themselves.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I was elated that I got the invitations at all.    So, I&#039;m thrilled to pieces for the opportunity to witness the inauguration.    I am really going to splurge and take a  first-class roundtrip train ride into Union Station! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Woott!!!   Woooot!!  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;(Of course, the unbelieving side of me keeps thinking I&#039;ll wake up tomorrow and it will all have been a dream......)    &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;GreenLady,  where is that fan???</description>
