The meaning of Ahmed Jaabari's assassination

[Krampa]

cesto jeste kontraproduktivno.kako bilo, tvrdnja "ispaljuju rakete sa skola, bolnica, privatnih avlija i minareta..." predstavlja besmislenu floskulu - bilo kakva vojna strategija kojoj bi Palestinci u Gazi mogli pribeci, mora se zasnivati na koriscenju raspolozivih resursa. obzirom na tanko naoruzanje i topografiju pojasa Gaze, jedino skrivanje u gradskim sredinama ima nekakvog smisla. ili to, ili da potpuno batale oruzani otpor.

jbg, onda su vjerske, politicke i vojne vodje svjesni rizika...pitanje je sta je ljudima koji su prakticno taoci u svmu tome

BP gets record US criminal fine over Deepwater disasterBP has received the biggest criminal fine in US history as part of a $4.5bn (£2.8bn) settlement related to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster, in which 11 people died.The US Justice Department (DoJ) said BP must hand over $4bn. The sum includes a $1.26bn fine as well as payments to wildlife and science groups.As part of the agreement, BP will also plead guilty to 14 criminal charges.The company apologised for its role and said it regretted the loss of life.BP will pay an additional $525m to the Securities and Exchange Commission over a period of three years, the firm said.The resolution with the DoJ includes a record criminal fine of $1.26bn, as well as $2.4bn to be paid to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and $350m to be paid to the National Academy of Sciences, over a period of five years.As a result, the company said that it was setting aside an additional $3.85bn on top of the $38.1bn it has been raising to cover its liabilities from the incident. The UK-based oil giant has been selling assets to raise the funds."All of us at BP deeply regret the tragic loss of life caused by the Deepwater Horizon accident as well as the impact of the spill on the Gulf coast region," said Bob Dudley, BP's chief executive."From the outset, we stepped up by responding to the spill, paying legitimate claims and funding restoration efforts in the Gulf. We apologise for our role in the accident, and as today's resolution with the US government further reflects, we have accepted responsibility for our actions."BP chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg added that the resolution was in the best interests of BP and its shareholders, and allowed the company to vigorously defend itself against the remaining civil claims.It also intends to contest allegations of gross negligence in those cases.BP has agreed to plead guilty to:eleven felony counts of Misconduct or Neglect of Ships Officers relating to the loss of 11 livesone misdemeanour count under the Clean Water Actone misdemeanour count under the Migratory Bird Treaty Actone felony count of obstruction of CongressThe resolution is subject to US federal court approval.The 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster killed 11 workers and released millions of barrels of crude into the Gulf of Mexico over 87 days.Stuart Smith, a Louisiana lawyer representing some of the businesses affected by the accident, told the BBC the deal was far from over."They have not settled with the state of Louisiana for the natural damages... they haven't settled with Florida, Alabama [or] Mississippi yet."He added that there were other significant claims still to be settled, including offshore oil and gas industry damages as a result of the moratorium on deepwater drilling put in place after the accident, casino losses, fisheries, financial institutions and real estate developers."So I think they're still looking at billions of dollars in exposure even with this settlement," he said.The settlement is bigger than the largest previous corporate criminal penalty assessed by the Department of Justice, the $1.2bn fine imposed on drug maker Pfizer in 2009.The oil giant has been selling assets worth billions of pounds to raise money to settle all claims. The company is expected to make a final payment of $860m into the $20bn Gulf of Mexico compensation fund by the end of the year.BP launched an internal investigation in the immediate aftermath of the explosion which concluded that no single cause was behind the accident, but "multiple companies, work teams and circumstances were involved over time".Other companies involved included Transocean, the owner of the rig and responsible for the safety valve known as the blowout preventer, and Halliburton, who provided cementing services.BP is yet to reach a settlement with these firms. A civil trial that will determine negligence is due to begin in New Orleans in February 2013.BP has settled all claims with Anadarko and Moex, its co-owners of the oil well, and contractor Weatherford, receiving $5.1bn cash settlements from the three firms, which it has put into its $20bn compensation fund.It has also reached a $7.8bn settlement with the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee, a group of lawyers representing victims of the spill.

Kad spominjete Bosnu, mene one zapaljene i bombardovane palestinske zgrade i kuće neodoljivo podsećaju na Sarajevo.Podrška za IDF, anyone?

[Gandalf]

jbg, onda su vjerske, politicke i vojne vodje svjesni rizika...

naravno. borba protiv okupacije i kolonizacije je po definiciji rizican cin, u svakom pojavnom obliku.

pitanje je sta je ljudima koji su prakticno taoci u svmu tome

ne vidim da je tu bilo ko talac. prilicno je sigurno da otpor okupaciji uziva nedvosmilenu podrsku medju Palestincima - neslaganje medju Palesticima se svodi na to koja strategija ima najvece sanse da uspe.

[Аврам Гојић]

Podrška za IDF, anyone?

podrska za napad na pojas Gaze dan nakon lazljivog prihvatanja egipatskog posredovanja?mogu samo da kazem: fuj

[koksy]

šta bi gospoda predložila Izraelu da radi u ovoj situaciji?

[Аврам Гојић]

kojoj situaciji? primirje je bilo na stolu. Izrael je stvorio situaciju juce i danas. sad nek rade sta `oce, nadam se da ce Hamas brzo kapitulirati, da ne ginu ljudi bezveze. a krv je na Bibijevim rukama

[nautilus]

kruze neke glasine da su krenuli ili da se spremaju da krenu kopnenim putem u gazu. ovo je jedna od vecih bibijevih gresaka, apsolutno besmislen rat u kome ginu ljudi sa obe strane.

[Аврам Гојић]

Nisu glasine. Granica se puni vojnicima. Najgora vest u mnogo tuznih decenija.

Jel te reci vrede i za Srbe na Kosovu ili Srbiju u vezi Kosova?Na Izrael je ispaljeno preko 100 raketa u poslednjih par dana pre akcije.U poslednjih par sati je bilo velike aktivnosti IDF u pojasu Gaze.

kada zele da zapocnu eskalaciju, Izraelci ubiju Palestinca. ako neka palestinska frakcija ne odgovori na to, Izraelci ubiju drugog, pa treceg... dok Palestinci ne odluce da "uzvrate". tada su muceni Izraelci primorani da se brane.http://antiwar.com/blog/2012/11/11/israels-latest-assault-on-gaza-the-lie-of-who-started-it/
