Israel: At Least 10 Killed on Gaza Flotilla

JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israeli commandos on Monday stormed six ships carrying hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists on an aid mission to the blockaded Gaza Strip, killing at least 10 people and wounding dozens after encountering unexpected resistance as the forces boarded the vessels.

The operation in international waters off the Gaza coast was a nightmare scenario for Israel that looked certain to further damage its international standing, strain already tense relations with Turkey -- the unofficial sponsor of the mission -- and draw unwanted attention to Gaza's plight.

The tough Israeli response drew condemnations from Turkey, France and the U.N.'s Mideast envoy, while Greece suspended a military exercise with Israel and postponed a visit by Israel's air force chief.

About 10,000 Turks also marched from Israel's Consulate in Istanbul toward the city's main square, shouting slogans denouncing Israel. The protesters earlier Monday tried storm the Consulate building but were blocked by police.

The Israeli ambassadors in Sweden, Spain, Denmark and Greece were summoned for meetings, and the French foreign minister called for an investigation. Activists from all of those European countries were on board the flotilla. In neighboring Jordan, hundreds demonstrated in the capital Amman to protest the Israeli action and demand that their government breaks diplomatic relations with the Jewish state.

Could White House Party Crashing Couple Have Been Ushered In By Fellow Muslims? Could This Have Been A Dry Run On A Future Attack?

The White House Party Crashing Couple Mr. and Mrs. Tareq Salahi have ties to a pro-Arafat Palestinian group named the American Task Force on Palestine.

Larwy, of Larwyn's Links, muses about how "diversity" training to a "diverse" Secret Service staff may have been the reason the Salahis were able to get in, even though they were not on the guest list:

Mr. & Mrs. Tareq Salahi successfully crashed the WH State Dinner. Anyone think that Mr. & Mrs. Robert James Smith would have succeeded?

Further, consider Obama's input into WH SECRET SERVICE STAFFING. It is not far fetched to assume that the SECRET SERVICE BOSSES would have bend over backwards to supply a "DIVERSE" S.S. staff for WH protection even if not explicitly demanded by the 'POST RACIAL" O! ADMIN.

Just knowing that DIVERSITY IN EVERYTHING is the goal at the WH, even an experienced Secret Service Agent manning or "womaning" that first line of defense at the entrance, would know that turning away a couple for cause named Sahali would have greater repercussions than turning away a couple named Smith.

I have to wonder about something even more sinister. Could this have been a dry run on a terrorist attack?

Could it be that the Salahis were allowed in by an Secret Service agent who just happened to be manning the door that even, and who just happened to be Muslim?
