On verge of Gaza war

Special: Israel was on verge of launching major Gaza operation, but Hamas blinked

When Defense Minister Ehud Barak arrived at the Defense Ministry Headquarters’ meeting room last Saturday, a thick war book titled “Operation South” was already awaiting his approval on his desk. In those hours, Israel was on the verge of embarking on war in the Gaza Strip.

The book did not pertain to a limited operation. The selected targets would have certainly prompted a major flare-up, including difficult regional implications. Just like in Operation Cast Lead, the political leadership granted immunity to no one in the Strip, regardless of his position or stature.

Is it too late to go ahead and do it?

If they (the Arabs) launch another big attack, I think we will see it.

Wait a bit longer for Bashar to go down. Hezbollah will be cut off from Iran and feeling very ronery come then.

Hamas will start feeling tottery too.

Then hit em’ hard.

I miss being pro-war. I’ll be happy when Jan 20th gets here so I can support wars again. We need a new one. These ones are getting old. Time to go after real enemies like Iran. Seems like all we’ve been doing under Obama is ridding ourselves of partners against Al Qaeda and even helping Al Qaeda gain new territory. They’ve got Egypt and Libya now. Heck what a deal they got. We got them out of the slums of Afghanistan and in exchange gave them control of a major canal and an oil nation. What’s next? Topple Pakistan so Al Qaeda can have their own nukes?

Nasrallah needs to have an accident.

I was always a proponent of taking off a few hezzies and Hamas heads and sending them Fedex to Assad and the Revolutionary council. I would suggest shoving pig nuts down their throats first, but I am a civilized person.

Good on you, Andy.

It would seem a waste of perfectly good pig nuts as there are plenty of less desireable pig parts to shove down, or up, a pali's random orifice.

I guess we’ll be seeing it then. The islamopigs simply cannot help themselves in being self destructive by trying to wipe every Jew from the earth.

Oh not nearly destructive enough. One big crater in Gaza might go unnoticed for days considering what a hole that place is. You don't kill cockroaches with dynamite. I say go in with nerve agents and just clean the place out. Fumigate the middle east.

“Thursday afternoon, a few hours after the terror offensive on the road leading to Eilat, officials started to formulate the operational doctrine. At that point, the targets were only Islamic Jihad and the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC.) Hamas was not yet a clear target, with the exception of several symbolic hits meant to signal to the group that it holds the responsibility to prevent attacks from the Strip.”

You can’t stop Muzzies like this because jihad is incumbent on every Muzzy. You can certainly slow them down but not stop them. I hate to say this but if Israel wants to stop this problem permanently they are going to have to go back to the old, old school way of conducting war. This means killing them all.

Where ever you have Muslims you have jihad they are engaged in against the infidel all around the world. If you don’t want to be on the receiving end of jihad then you have to remove the source of the problem.

Did Operation Cast Lead stop the rockets? Only temporarily because now they are flying once again!

Those who live by the sword will die by the sword. Guess which religion lives by the sword? Islam.

If the world ever decides to get its collective head out of its rectal region and say they’ve had enough of Islam those who follow won’t be around for very long.

When the Feds changed the name of the Dept. of War to the Department of Defense it changed the whole nature of our military.
