More Lying Crap from WorldNetDaily

Anything directly reported by WND must be researched, but this does have some root in fact.

If you try to fly from the US via Delta with connections to Saudi Arabia, you will be asked for their visa. If not in possession of a Saudi visa, you will not be allowed to board. Those with Israeli passports will not be allowed to board, because the Saudis do not recognize israel and will not give them a visa.

In the past, if you had an Israeli visa stamp on your US passport, they would deny emtry, as well.  When I visited Israel on business, I would stop in Cyprus and have the US consulate, paste onver that page, if I was scheduled to go to Saudi, next.  I'm unsure if this is still the case.

Recently, the Saudis have a little war game.  They wanted to ensure they wouldn't shoot down Isreali air force planes by mistake. Israeli aircraft bound on a goodwill mission to Iran.

Shallow root, though, and not really pertinent to the matter at hand.

Irrespective of what you have posted, the fact is that WND asserted, in their erroneous article, that "Jews" would be forbidden to fly on Delta flights to Saudi Arabia. The TRUTH is that those of any nationality without a visa from Saudi Arabia would not be allowed to board. True, those with Israeli passports--whether Jewish, Palestinian, Hottentot, or otherwise--would not be allowed to board Delta flights to Saudi Arabia, but that has NOTHING to do with any kind of discrimination by Delta Airlines.  WND tried to stigmatize Delta and did so with no valid reason.   They owe Delta an apology and if they have any integrity, WND will print a correction in their little online fish wrapper.

CNN would never post such an article. Yeah, riiiiight..................

"WND tried to stigmatize Delta and did so with no valid reason."

Maybe someone at WND had their bag lost.

I put the Christian extremists up against the Muslim extremists any day. 

The Saudis have the oil, so we will let them do whatever they want, including refusing to recognize Israel as a country.    Oil rules all.   

The Saudis fear the Persians and Turks more than the Israelis.

I don't remember Christians forcing women to wear head to toe gunny sacks, filming beheadings, running around with suicide belts, or diving planes into buildings.

The Saudis have no fear of Israel, as the USA as assured the Saudis that Israel will not interfere within Saudi borders, because of the influence of the Saudis with OPEC. 

Lets just add up the number of civilians killed by the AFUS in the last 30 years.  You go first.  How many sovereign countries have we interfered with?  We shot down an Iranian passenger jet for no reason, lied about the circumstances, and then wonder why they hate us.  Our imperialist, nation building fiasco's are why we have to spend $800billion a year on AFUS.   We will blindly follow the course set by every previous superpower, right into irrelevance.  We are using Russian military advisers to plan our Astan operations, and wondering why its not going better. 

I assume you refer to the USS Vincennes cruiser and the Iranian Airbus.  Only the far left and the ayatollah's people claimed the Navy lied,  Ditzy, which camp are you in?

THe evidence of a cover up in the Vincennes incident is overwhelming.  Sadly, the most concise admission from Admiral Crowe was not in his testimony to Congress, but to Nightline.

Your hyperlink only parrots more of the same. The Iranians played cat and mouse with the US Navy with an earlier version of their swarm tactic. Then, a tragedy occurred -- the shooting down of the Airbus.  The navy had no conceivable reason to wish to shot down a civilian aircraft.    

The Navy issued false distress calls from a fictitious ship called the Stoval, to attract the Iranian boats and incite an incident becasue without provocation, the Iranians were content to just cruise around in their territorial waters while the USNavy watched.  The Vincennes was operating in Iranian waters, and the Navy lied to cover it up.  The Vincennes helo was operating in Iranian airspace and the Navy lied.  The Iranian airliner was operating in a commercial flight path and squawking a commair designation, all of which the Navy denied until it was obvious they couldnt hide it from the international media.  

Sorry, no!  The Iranians were harassing oil tankers and container ships that passed thru the Persian Gulf.  The Persians claim most of the gulf.  Later, they took potshots at the Vincennes helicopters -- not a bright idea.

Because of the incident, the navy rethought its strategies and started building craft suitable for litorral combat.
