Bottom line - The fast rope of 14 troops on to a boat that had at least 100 trained islam fanatics surrounded by 500 peace protesters was, with hindsight all over this comment, criminal. I watched the pipes swinging hard at the Israeli's even before they ade it to the deck.

The commanders who set this action up need to be courts martialed.

There were dozens of other options.

Just a thought! How many of the dead could have been killed by the trained muslims aboard, to raise the "Oh the Humanity" reflex. Acouple of western journalist who were covering the story from the boat went missing after the attack. Did they or their bodies ever surface?

The Turks and Iran are deeply in each others pockets on this one. The ambush reeks of a well planned attack that shows the incompetents of the Israeli planners and the rage of muslims defending themselves against Jewish attackers.

Someone said earlier that the pattern of attacks that are most effective is the unusual place using unusal wepons.

JMHO as well!

A group of International Maritime Law experts, including a very high ranking Canadian military leader are part of the group that will be studying this incident.
