Idiot McKinney buys another 15 minutes with her provoked “incident” at sea.
When you purposely try to penetrate a “closed military zone” attempting to resupply the enemy of the people with the navy securing that zone, one shouldn’t be surprised when an “incident” occurs:
Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney, unimpeded by the “closed military zone” imposed by Israel, was among 16 people aboard a medical supply boat that collided with an Israeli naval ship Tuesday as it tried to enter coastal waters around Gaza.
The yacht, owned by the U.S.-based Free Gaza Movement, was reportedly carrying 3.5 tons of medical supplies donated by Cyprus. A press release from the group claimed “several Israeli gunboats intercepted the Dignity she was heading on a mission of mercy to Gaza.” They said the Israeli military fired machine guns into the water in an attempt to stop the Dignity’s progress.
I think the reporter (and the multiple layers of editorial oversight) have used the wrong word up there in the 1st paragraph. McKinney & Co. were surely “unimpressed” with and “ignored” the closed military zone, but it’s pretty obvious they were pretty definitively impeded by it. I have no doubts that McKinney, a person with a long history of hatred toward Jews, always suspected she’d be intercepted while trying to land supplies for Hamas in Gaza. I think she was hoping for something dramatic to get her crazed mug back in the newspapers.
At the same time, I think everyone on that boat should be damned glad it wasn’t me in command. A vessel attempting to resupply an enemy that has made literally thousands of attacks against my fellow citizens tries to just barge past the picket line I’ve been ordered to maintain? One warning shot is all they’d get to turn away from their course. The next order to fire would be for effect and the cease-fire order would only come when the boat’s structure had slid beneath the surface. McKinney’s no US official. She’s an idiot who thinks she’s important and she’s gladly putting herself and anyone who follows her into the line of fire in a shooting war. Caveat emptor, kids. Follow her at your peril.

Ric if you repeated that one million times it still would not be enough. This woman is a nightmare from which we can not wake up.
