Israel is suppose to 'get it right' this time, not make it worse !!!!
...In a report drafted (click title to entry - thank you) following a visit to Israel in early June, Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., says the United States should "make available all necessary special operations and naval support to the Israeli Navy to effectively disable flotilla vessels before they can pose a threat to Israeli coastal security or put Israeli lives at risk."...
Kirk was a 2010 Republican. He served in the House with the election of Bush/Cheney in 2000 and replaced President Obama in a special election to fill his seat. Now he is trying to wage his own war over a humantiarian effort to Gaza. Sounds like something a Republican would do. Baseless wars into Iraq that kill innocent people and now this. What we have to look forward to in the way of endangering human life with every Repbulcian elected is simply amazing.
Sabotage? Really? Give me a break. Shame on everybody.

Irish ship will not sail to Gaza after 'sabotage' (click here)
PAMELA DUNCAN
AN IRISH ship, the MV Saoirse , will not take part in the planned freedom flotilla which is preparing to sail to Gaza because it has been sabotaged, according to one of the ship’s intended passengers.Speaking last night from the Turkish port of Göcek, Fintan Lane, the national co-ordinator of Irish Ship to Gaza organisation, said that the ship would not be able to sail as it had been “dangerously sabotaged”, according to the organising campaign.
He said that the damage to the ship was discovered on Monday night when the captain noticed that there was something wrong. Divers found that a piece was missing from one of the propeller shafts.
“This was the type of sabotage that endangered human life,” Mr Lane said last night. “They put divers under the boat who cut a piece out of the propeller shaft. That means that the damage would have happened gradually and what would have happened eventually is that the propeller would have come up through the bottom of the boat, caused a flood in the engine room and would have caused the boat to sink.”...
