UNITED NATIONS - The United States blocked an Arab-backed resolution
Thursday that would have demanded Israel halt its military offensive
in the Gaza Strip, the first U.N. Security Council veto in nearly two
years.

The draft, sponsored by Qatar on behalf of other Arab nations, accused
Israel of a "disproportionate use of force" that endangered
Palestinian civilians, and demanded Israel withdraw its troops from
Gaza.

Qatar?  The great conservative ally of Bush!  Yet Iraq has no comment
on Israel = HMMM just another clog in American Empire I guess!
