Why don’t they just settle this once and for all? Ever since I can remember it’s the same story over and over. Groundhog Day, middle east style. I think they should just have it out and be done with it.

While the "Peace Officer of the United States" is away, the Middle Easterners will play.

Many more are emboldened to live out their animal instincts given the POOTUS performance on Libya to date.

Wanna play war, Palestinians? How about this? Israel fires back at the Palestinian’s launch site with an M270 MLRS and 12 rounds. Twelve M26A1 warheads contain 644 M85 submunitions that will ruin your day! The Iraqis called these rockets “Steel Rain” in Gulf War 1.

Screw the poor Palestinians. It's time to make this scum bleed, bleed, and bleed some more. It's not like Palestinians have some socially redeeming virtues.

What I have never understood is. When one of these filth are killed they have a funeral parade of Thousands of the animals chanting in the street. I would napalm the whole street.

My first thought, when we learned the other day about the hamas terrorist tunnels, was that Israel would respond this way.

As Robert Duval’s character said in “Apocalypse Now”:

“I love the smell of napalm in the morning. It smells like . . . victory.” That works for me.
