Deck furniture and other kinds of weaponry.

Israel murdered at least nine people who, although on the high seas, were still in Turkish territory.  Whether it should be construed as simple murder or a war crime apparently depends on who decided to commit these crimes, but the fact that crimes were committed is indisputable.

Obama’s condemnation of the assault on Israeli commandos by violently beleaguered humanitarians was simply a professional courtesy between fellow criminals.  How dare humanitarians deploy deck furniture and other kinds of weaponry against armed storm-troopers dropping from helicopters on high seas (and Turkish territory) in the dead of night?  

Similarly, Obama would condemn the baby eaten by Dick Cheney by proposing a more comprehensive condemnation of infanticidal cannibalism that would include the “criminally” and lip-smackingly delicious flavor of the baby’s fatty, tar-tar thighs, as the tasty adipocytes assaulted the vivacious and passionate taste-buds of Dick Cheney’s voracious maw.  

Defending such abhorrent behavior, in a nutshell, is Obama’s raison d’etre.
