Excellent statesmanship going on thanks to the capable and insightful Secretary of State Mrs. Clinton.

Sinced they’re goign to the UN next month to try and get a unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state, why are they starting up these terrorists attacks a month before? Far better to wait, adopt their usual “innocent victim” persona...they already have most of the world agreeing with them...so why this, and NOW?

Maybe this isn’t a terrorist attack at all.

They were wearing Egyptian Army uniforms and attacking without the interference of the Egyptian Army. How about this being a case of the Nation of Egypt declaring war on Israel and then attacking it? What else do you call it? An accident?

This reminds me of the Mumbai attacks where Pakistan blatantly attacks India and then…well…nothing happens. I think Pearl Harbor just happened and nobody noticed.

The Israelis took back their land in 1967 when attacked from all sides by the Arabs. Israel needs secure borders. It has to build fences on the Sinai side and fences on the Jordanian side, fences on the Lebanon side. Israel must protect its people from the murderers and terrorists who know no bounds of decency.

Egypt cannot feed its people. It cannot borrow enough money to import food, and has no source of earnings. It has allowed various Islamist groups to scare off the remaining tourists, and realistically will have nothing but starvation for the next ten years or so. It has huge masses of ill educated young men who want a better life and have no prospect in what amounts to a failed state and a failed people.

So expect open War sooner or later with Israel. No one in the ME fears Israel, all think that the nation can be destroyed, not just beaten. Israel lost fairly big against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and that woke up its enemies. Obama and Dems would welcome Israel’s destruction, most of the Democratic Party is entirely hostile to Israel (Blacks, Hispanics, Leftists, Activists, and so on). Egypt will gamble it can win, fairly decisively, by mass attacks against what they view as a weak, divided, and without a protector (America) Israel.

Israel currently has one of its most hawkish Prime Ministers, b ut so far the response has been the typical “measured” air strikes. Gaza needs to be occupied and every single Palestinian sent into the Gaza desert for the Egyptians to deal with. These tepid responses to acts of war are just perpetuating the problem.

very disturbing but completely predictable outcome of our naive, inept, anti-American, anti Semitic, or muslim-infitrated administration's middle east policy of encouraging and supporting radical islamists as “revolutionaries”

God Bless that innocent Israeli family with 2 children caught in this horror that can be laid at the feet of obama himself

“Operation Gunwalker” gone international

This is radical islamist muscle moving in to show who will control a “palestinian state” when and if it is established

eventually even hamas may even look reasonable compared to these guys

I have been warning for sometime any conflict now will escalate into a few cities being incinerated in the mid east...Tehran and Cairo could be at the top of the list, if the US continues its ridicules policy of cutting Israel off at the knees. His excellency currently located in Highanus Port better get a grip on this and get his head out of his backside before this goes any farther or he will be responsible for what could quickly escalate into a world wide conflict which no one will “win”. Not only has der leader successfully killed the US economy, financial system and the morale of the military, he is on a path to destroy the entire planet. I wonder if that will qualify him for another peace prize as a unpopulated planet would definitely be peaceful.

“Words of dismay” by the US government would be nothing but Obama engaging in taquiyya. This is just the next stage in the creation of the greater caliphate promoted by Obama’s toppling of Mubarak, his attack on Libya and his lack of support for the governments of Yemen and Bahrain.

War has always served to distract and to channel the anger of the dispossessed away from their own despots- and as a nationalist unifier when there is no other “there”, there

Meanwhile a truly disturbing woman, Samantha Powers (uber radical wife of the uber radical ideological nutjob Cass Sunstein) flies under the radar, at the right hand of the INEPT Hillary Clinton (YES. Sorry Puma's but HILLARY CLINTON IS INEPT!!!), and the INEPT Susan Rice, and lays the groundwork for establishing a UN super committee to organize a response against Israel for “genocide”

Watch for it

The terrorist attacks are designed to force Isreal to defend themselves. In a month when the United nutjobs are meeting, Isreal will be portrayed as the violent oppressive ones. Never mind that they are defending themselves.
The media will play their predictable role.

The terrorists know very well how to use the terror friendly media.

Before this goes any farther? Hell, this is what he WANTS. Community organizing writ large = global Marxism (now fortified with 30% more radical Islam).

I guess the adage he would rather rule in hell than serve in heaven is applicable here. He has let the genie out of the bottle and is in no hurry to get it back in without regard to what may be the end result.

“How many FReepers called this?”

I think the majority knows where hussein wants to take this. If Israel fights back with an “unmeasured” response, hussein will jump right in to aid his muzzie brothers. Heck, he’s doing it right now by financing muzzie “springs” all over the ME.

I haven’t seen any evidence of deliberate foreign policy “strategy” from Hillary. All it seems to be is reacting to events and then trying to spin it after the fact. Why should anyone be surprised? Even some FReepers have suggested she’d be a better President than Obama. Maybe, but only because she’d look to Hubby Bill for advice—he would probably call the shots from behind the scenes. By herself, Hillary is an empty pants suit.

...and then there was this not so long ago:

“The Egyptians helped us in the fight against al Qaeda,” he said. “This revolution is a direct repudiation of al Qaeda, who believe that the only way you bring about change is through violence.” - John McCain on the Egyptian uprising. Anyone remember McCain and Lieberman's lovefest stroll thru Tahrir Square wrapped in the Egyptian flag back in February?
