You mean to be able to confess the most egregious sins to the priest?

[Swatopluk]

Of course, and the licence fee has to be paid on a regular base too. Otherwise your access will be cut and you will be incommunicado.

In or Ex?

The Exquisition is worse than the Inquisition (the two arms of the Omnian Quisition)

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

But they Inquired with Exquisite detail...

[Swatopluk]

But the results would be more fitting for the National Enquirer

[pieces o nine]

Either way, *far* too inquisitive!

[Swatopluk]

Back to seriousness: What are the chances of the current peace talks given the circumstances?
One thing is for sure, a failure will be blamed (as usual) 100% on the 'unreasonable' Palestinians by the 'serious people'.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Nah, it will be blamed on Obama, everything is his fault, remember?


My take is that these talks have a probability of success between being hit by lightning and a Tunguska incident give or take. Israel will not stop the settlements and Abbas already said that the moment settlements resume he will walk out. Given that Netanyahu is in power with a coalition that includes the fundies from the top of this thread there is a 99.999% chance of resuming the settlements.

Talk about an empty exercise.

A Tunguska incident in Jersualem might me just what we need and it might swing some people if suddenly lighning struck some of the extremists out of a blue sky.

Edit: I fear the attacks on Obama would be even greater in case of success for 'selling out our allies*' and sabotaging Armageddon.

*iirc Israel has no formal treaty of alliance with the US

Yeah.  We just give'em billions of $ out of the "goodness" of our hearts, then?

The US gave and gives lots of dough to lots of people of questionable character and loyalty without the need for such silly things as treaties (that would have to get past both houses of congress also).

The Taliban, Osama Bin Laden, Pol Pot and Manuel Noriega are in the short list, IIRC.

[Swatopluk]

Ironically it was the red Vietnamese that made an end of Pol Pot's rule

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

While the west helped him through Thailand.
