"Helicopter crash kills 7 in Romania" by Associated Press | July 28, 2010
BUCHAREST — All seven people aboard an Israeli military helicopter — one Romanian and six Israelis — were killed when it crashed into a mountain in central Romania, officials said yesterday.
The helicopter, a Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion, crashed Monday during a military exercise in which crews are trained to fly at low altitudes. The joint exercises, due to end tomorrow, were suspended after the crash.
That chopper U.S. stock, isn't it?
Romanian search teams and Israeli representatives arrived at the crash site in a remote mountainous area yesterday morning....
Israel’s military has been training with the Romanians since 2004. The Israelis also train with other European militaries and with the United States to give their crews experience in unfamiliar terrain.
WHY would they NEED experience in UNFAMILIAR TERRAIN when they are PURELY a DEFENSIVE FORCE (or so I was told by my government and its mouthpiece MSM)?
WHO is ISRAEL INVADING NOW?
The Israeli military said....
That's when I started wandering, readers.
Of course, when they do make it into the paper is is with an agenda-pushing purpose (or two):
"Crackdown on illegal Gypsies stirs French Roma" by Associated Press | July 29, 2010
SAINT OUEN, France — President Nicolas Sarkozy ordered authorities yesterday to expel Gypsy illegal immigrants and dismantle their camps, amid accusations that his government is acting racist in its treatment of the group known as Roma.
Sarkozy called the government meeting after Gypsies clashed with police this month following the shooting death of a youth fleeing officers in Loire Valley.
France isn't all wine and protests, is it?
He said those responsible for the clashes would be “severely punished,’’ and he ordered the government to expel all illegal Roma immigrants, almost all of whom come from Eastern Europe....
Romania and Bulgaria are members of the European Union, and their citizens can enter France without a visa...
Sarkozy pushed for a change in France’s immigration law to make such expulsion easier “for reasons of public order.’’ He said illegal Gypsy camps “will be systematically evacuated,’’ calling them sources of trafficking, exploitation of children, and prostitution.
Can you now give Nico a hearty sig heil, readers?
The language has chilling undertones in a country where authorities rounded up Gypsies and sent them to concentration camps during the Nazi occupation in World War II. Jacques Chirac, the former president who was the first French leader to acknowledge the state’s role in the Holocaust, condemned “the Nazi madness that wanted to eliminate the Gypsies.’’
You mean someone else was included besides the Jews?
No way!
Around Europe, some 250,000 to 1.5 million Roma were killed during World War II.
Woah!
Accurate figures are difficult to find because many Roma were rounded up away from public view, executed, and dumped into mass graves....
Yeah, and because any that are found are claimed to be Jewish not Gypsy.
But that AmeriKan "news" media somehow has me back in WWII again.
--more--"
I guess better that than rolling out WWIII, huh?
