Biden: I'll Cut Off Arms Shipments If Israel Invades Rafah

Biden is talking specifically about a ground invasion, not the bombing Israel is doing in Rafah right now. Via CNN.com: President Joe Biden said for the first time Wednesday he would halt some shipments of American weapons to Israel – which he acknowledged have been used to kill civilians in Gaza – if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu orders a major invasion of the city of Rafah. “Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of those bombs and other ways in which they go after population centers,” Biden told CNN’s Erin Burnett in an exclusive interview on “Erin Burnett OutFront,” referring to 2,000-pound bombs that Biden paused shipments of last week. “I made it clear that if they go into Rafah – they haven’t gone in Rafah yet – if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities – that deal with that problem,” Biden said. So where exactly are the lines? Biden said while the US would continue to provide defensive weapons to Israel, including for its Iron Dome air defense system, other shipments would end should a major ground invasion of Rafah begin.read more

    Crooks and Liars, Sunday - 05/19/2024 - 11:00 PM

    History Channel reminds us of the devastation caused by this volcanic eruption. At 8:32 a.m. PDT on May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens, a volcanic peak in southwestern Washington, suffers a massive eruption, killing 57 people and devastating some 210 square miles of wilderness. After the city of Pompeii was buried under the might of Mt Vesuvius in 79 ce , an incredible city was discovered under the ash over a thousand years later. For many centuries Pompeii slept beneath its pall of ash, which perfectly preserved the remains.

  • Independent presidential contender Robert F. Kennedy Jr. holds Aurora rally as he attempts to get on Colorado’s ballot
    Denver Post, Sunday - 05/19/2024 - 10:08 PM

    A boisterous crowd of a thousand or so packed the Stanley Marketplace in Aurora on Sunday to hear a White House pitch from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — a presidential candidate who isn’t yet on Colorado’s November ballot but who said he represents an opportunity for people to “vote out of hope and inspiration” rather than fear. Kennedy started his speech by decrying his omission from two recently scheduled presidential debates, noting that independent voters are by far the largest bloc of the American electorate.

    Crooks and Liars, Sunday - 05/19/2024 - 07:21 PM

    California banker and carpetbagger Eric "Pornstache" Hovde, who wants to be the US Senator from Wisconsin, has a knack for doublespeak. We first saw this when he was explaining why people in nursing homes shouldn't be allowed to vote, when he denied in believing The Big Lie and then repeating all the accusations anyway. He then did an interview with Matt Smith of WISN-TV when this subject came up.
