This occurred in international waters. It is an act of war against a long-time US ally (Turkey). Even Israel doesn't do that without at least a diplomatic wink-and-nod.

"It wouldn't be the first time they presented a fait accompli."

When? I know that's how the dumb show works--impulsive, aggressive Israel, with poor Uncle Sam calling for "calm from all sides," with a forlorn sigh, and wagging a finger at Israel. Rinse, repeat.

I just don't believe the act. Never believed it before, and I won't believe it when I assume Obama or Clinton will put on the same old act tomorrow morning.

Oh hell, that shameless Livni troll is just right now saying that Israeli soldiers were "lynched" and were defending themselves from "planned violence..."
