Deadlines and pressure
Read an article today about the IDF brutalities in the West Bank and Gaza. It came as no surprise to me but the sad part is that this kind of news will never make it to mainstream media.
One mention was of an officer who shot and killed a 13 year old girl and then emptied his clip in her body. She had 15 bullets when they found her body.
Another mentioned about Israeli soldiers taking pics with the head of dead Palestinian as a 'trophy picture.'

Much is made in the media about suicide bombing and how 'unethical' and 'immoral' it is but if you ask me, what the IDF is doing cannot be topped. The worst part is that the IDF claims to be the most moral army in the world. I guess thats the reason they do not allow for UN observers in the territories. I say if you got nothing to hide, then why stop the observers????
It seems like the Americans seem to be taking lessons on morality from the IDF too. In an article it mentioned about the killing of a wounded Iraqi with no weapons. Apparently he was lying in the mosque and had been wounded. A US soldier came and up and shot him in the head. This articles gives a first hand account of the incident.

And then they call the muslims barbaric!!
The boss as usual is putting pressure to meet deadlines. But everything is on hold for some Cuban delegation is here and we have to make a presentation to them.
