This NASA Earth Observatory image taken by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on NASA’s Terra satellite shows a false-colour, high-resolution view of the very tip of the Mississippi River Delta.
Ribbons and patches of oil that have leaked from the Deepwater Horizon well offshore are silver against the light blue colour of the adjacent water. Vegetation is red. Oil smoothes the water, making it a better mirror, so the oil-covered waters are very bright in this image [Picture: AFP/GETTY / NASA]
They keep saying the oil “can’t go up the Mississippi”.
Looks to me like the oil is in charge.

Israel Sending Edward Peck, Former U.S. Ambassador, Home From Seized Ship, Wife Says
OOPS. Gahd, Edward Peck was on the ship. I missed that entirely.
AP stripped out the U.S. Ambassador, career diplomat from their current lede so HuffPo it is…
This *could..*could..get good.
his name has not been included in most reports… some mention a “US former diplo”… and leave it at that…
thank god I slept earlier… I think the 10 o’clock hour on my local call in show is going to be HOT. The truly horrible local Israel consul will be on.
I don’t know why that horrible war on GAZA did not turn more people, but it did not. Shooting starving fish in a barrel. Shooting people with white flag, with their hands up. But it did not. Lousy rabbis coming out to watch the sport..
People accepted it… for whatever reason.
‘
Maybe this does. a little at least…
takes a lot of outrages to wear down through decades of one-sided propaganda. I was amazed that running over an American college girl with a bulldozer didn’t wake more people up years ago. I was even more amazed when I finally learned what happened to the Liberty, that we hadn’t distanced ourselves back then.
Wasn’t someone from the Liberty on board too.
Yes a Joe Meadors
wow, who all was on those ships?
Gonna be interesting if some of this “important” (important by western media terms, of course) come back to their various countries and talk about what happened.
Well Peck won’t be shutting up, neither will Wallender/Markell…
Nor I bet the Australian press, nor the al Jazeera press… etc.
I have read 9 Americans were on board… Pakistanis too, all sorts of people.
I also read, at one point, that 2 of the ships were US flagged… nto sure that is correct, tho.
I read that the US diplomat who resigned before the Iraq invasion was on the ships, too.
I think it is pretty clear what made the 800 or so on the flotilla terrists.
They dared to be anti-Israel.
Bernanke says global recovery depends on emerging markets, central banks
Well now that the Shylocks burnt out the US and Europe, I imagine its time to double down on Colonialism.
What will they think of next?
US to peg Dollar to the OooRooLooo Coconut?
I mean basically what Banker’s Hole Bernanke is saying is ,
Can’t We All Just Find somebody else to EXPLOIT?

AND….I see…
HALLIBURTON lost 8% of its value today.
Out to Lurkerville.
One more thing…In the last 2 months…
Halliburton has lost A THIRD of its value….
So to all those Libshit lawyers like Adam and Co. , who ya just know have a chunk of their dough tied up in War Sector stuff…HAHAHAHA!
The Sun is going with 19 dead (likely mostly Turkish) and 26 injured…. 28 Brits on board.
Out of focus shots, but someone got a pic of the warship helicopter…
I found the Sun stunningly good on the family and details of the VTech shooter. FWIW.
Daily Mail… the Nobel prize winners, two women who shared it in ’76, were on a Irish ship named for Rachel Corrie…
I went the the UK and the Australian google sites. And Google is censoring. Bth sites heavily stocked iwth US reporting.
Such fucking bullshit.
I’m waiting by my mailbox
VERY funny! One must be a NOBLE atheist. Next they will demand proof of an historical European aristocratic family. Checking DeBrett’s …….
pretty pathetic … and funny.
the Israeli consul on KGo is using “lynching”.
O V E R
Okaaaay… then how did so many die on the ship?
Daily Mail has the IDF version (and they state clearly that is what it is)
Good thread at corrente… and a commenter mentions that the Rachel Corrie is sailing on, to Gaza.
the post links back to this post, saying the Turks will send another flotilla, with the Turkish navy.
(someone may have posted this already, about a seconf flotilla… I am getting confused)
He also links to Mondoweiss which is discussing the act by the IDF as an act of war, not merely of piracy…
This could get veryinteresting…
Fisk:
welllllllllllllll those pols who are vitually silent are Obby and what ever it is that is The Two Headed Thing in the UK…
I loved the report that Obby told Netanyahu to “get the facts”.
What is he now, Joe Friday of the police?
On the Rachel Corrie, via Ali Abunimah:
CNN
I have read the number 450 for the detained…
Those activists must have had piss poor aim to supposedly have had all of these “weapons” (I see they left out the plastic chairs in that shot) and not to have killed any IDF soldiers.
And just a thought: for a military that supposedly has such a great reputation, why would they have paint ball guns (laughable) and not tasers?
I ahd to close down and reboot, but saw a jeadline at Jpost… the IDF apparently shot and killed two “terrists” trying to cross into Gaza….
German President Quits Over Remarks on Military
Gideon Levy: Operation Mini Cast Lead
Michael Oren, the US BORN Israeli Amb to the US… a dual I assume, who serves two gods… But Israel first I would assume…
on Lehrer.
SO O V E R.
He is being very clear, the Obama administration defends ahd supports Israel to act against Hamas and to impose the blockade. As he says, does Eqypt.
Right, we got it. We and Eqypt, a brutal dictatorship that we support … we are together.
Cosy menage a trois, no?
Of course supposedly tehre are large natural gas fields in the sea off Gaza, which is much of what this is all about.
cough choke strangle…
