#1 And when a big lefty like Dershowitz calls BS on "Doctors without Borders" you know something is rotten in Denmark.

Actually we should have bombed the place TWICE

#2 Apparently this looks like a Lefty example of Cannibalism. When they have a moment Lefties will have a Purge on other Lefties.
Its just the Nature of the Lefty. Stalin and Trotsky are a TYPE of the same animal. And Zinoviev and about another thirty were staring at Sheep.

#3 1) Dershowitz is one of the few libs I like.

2) Too bad he didn't say things like this while he was still at Harvard.

#4 Depends on the region. I've know a couple doctors that have done a year or two with this group in Africa. The work they did there was solid and humanitarian and offered advanced medical care to people that have never seen anything more advanced than a band-aid and a shaman.

That said, I have seen reports of this same organization working with drug lords and warlords to operate in heavy war areas. Granted sometimes that is the only way they can work there, but often times they make a deal with the devil and are constantly harassed and threatened. Put doctors from say, Pakistan that are friendly to our enemy and you have what we got here. Basically a medical and trauma center for the enemy fighters.

#5 That's fine. Just don't act all surprised when they get bombed.

#6 Doctors Without Morals -- from a lawyer yet --that's gotta hurt their sanctimonious and brittle egos.

#7 offered advanced medical care to people that have never seen anything more advanced than a band-aid and a shaman

But not advanced agriculture = famine

#8 the group, known as Medecins Sans Frontieres, favored Taliban fighters over civilian patients

With doctors like this, who needs enemies? What happened to the age old medical tenet: "Do no harm."

#9 At that point John, they are enemy medics and are legitimate targets if they are supporting terrorists.

#10 If the enemy obeyed the rules of war their medics would not be legitimate targets. However they don't, and you are maybe right.

#11 MSF was basically serving as auxiliary Taliban forces. They got spanked - and now they whine. Hey - if you lay down with dogs, you get fleas.

#12 ...or you lay down with illegal combatants and get up with embedded shrapnel.
