“For your information Mr Idiot aka Meatless, if you did one ounce of GD research, you would know that in FACT there was NO current or recent UN resolutions regarding Israel that were vetoed by the US.”
False:

On July 13, 2006, the United States used its veto power to put down a Qatari-sponsored draft resolution in the UN Security Council that would have condemned Israel’s military offensive as “disproportionate force” in the Gaza Strip, and would have demanded that Israel cease operations in the area. United States Ambassador John Bolton said the text was unacceptable, largely because it had been overtaken by events, including the recent capture of two Israeli soldiers by Hizbollah forces.

Looking at a list of approved resolutions won’t tell you which ones were vetoed. NoLibs would be well advised to do one ounce of research — or perhaps two — before he next undertakes to comment. Doing his research will reduce the chances that he will look foolish the next time.

I also dislike Helen Thomas but that is no way to handle the situation.

(I have also learned that if we are polite then we don’t look look as foolish when we make a mistake.)

Rational and Polite Debate Please!

Here’s a page from the UN on the US vetoing a Security Council resolution:

Your everything.com article appears to have been last updated in 2001 if I’m reading the page correctly.

Here’s the coverage in two MSM sources:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,203307,00.html

Is this possibly what Helen was talking about? Are perhaps the liberals posting on this thread not idiots? Can some liberals in fact do research?

You are correct that the resolution had nothing to do with a ceasefire. And Helen’s questions may have been phrased poorly. But you can hardly claim that she is being a bad journalist by asking questions. Plus, she’s placed there by Hearst media. Hardly a liberal political mouthpeace. Perhaps they want her in there asking hard questions of Tony Snow, because they want their newspapers to be able to report actual facts. Perhaps, they feel she’s doing a good job getting them the information they need, regardless of whether the left or the right approve.
