158 academics have signed a letter calling for NATO to admit Ukraine. But they don't address the crucial question of when Ukraine should be admitted: now, or once the war is over. Neither option is straightforward.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8piggy backing/bush basing for this small story President Bush's chief strategist causes confusion Karl Rove spoke saying that the American's would never negotiate with Al -Qaeda just like Britain never negotiated with the IRA???
Lt. Commander Scott Zellem attacked a country without even an airforce or a navy, killed enough people to merit a medal, then he got close enough to Bush and didn't kill him, and now someone has killed Scotty.... And?
"I'll never buy or see another bottle of ketchup without thinking of him."
Yeah, and by the look of your post, you're a real sweetheart too.
Your misleading how LCDR Zellem died.
LCDR Zellem and three others, flying a Navy S-3B Viking jet from the aircraft carrier John C. Stennis, died when their aircraft slammed into Kita Iwo Jima, a volcanic island about 620 miles southeast of Japan, not in combat. It was supposed to be a routine training flight during a naval exercise over the placid waters of the Pacific, with few of the dangers all four knew 17 months earlier during combat missions over Iraq. I am sure this will get deleted, because its the truth.

He did not die in the Iraq, as you say - the article I linked to didn't say where he died and only mentioned that he was in Iraq - putting the two together I made a bad assumption.
For me, the story I see is that the man who was used as a prop is now dead - a prop to make us forget the illegality of this war, the immorality of this war and also the fact that the man he was flying with pulled all sorts of strings to stay out of a war.
I suppose that Bush hypocrisy is nothing new these days, but let me ask you something: Did President Bush go to his funeral?
