Security forces mull declaration of war on PA

Security officials are debating the merits of two different strategies to deal with the recent wave of terrorist attacks, Israel Radio reported.

Some security experts recommend declaring the Palestinian Authority a terrorist entity and waging an all-out war against it.

Others prefer the guidelines recommended by Secretary of State Colin Powell's envoy, retired Marine general Anthony Zinni, and to continue pressuring Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat to take decisive action against terrorists

big bump

YES... declare war on the PA!!

[PurVirgo]

YES! YES! YES! Put your foot down this time Sharon! Not that I am necessarily pro-Israel, but how any country would withstand this kind of merciless carnage for as long as Israel has suffered is beyond me.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

YES!

Will just removing Arafat fix things? NO! Because the Palis are not a nation! They left the land that they were given and are wanting to kill the Israelis! Hitler with a rag on his head! They are a rebellious group of rejects.

Get rid of the Palis, now and forever!

NOW WE'RE TALKING !!

[Heisenburger]

Declare war. Arafat has had his chance and has been found wanting.

[mgstarr]

Destroy the PA / PLO once and for all.

Israel only can move on the Pallie psycho killers when a down payment is made in Jewish blood. Otherwise the world wails for the poor oppressed Palestinians. [/sarcasm]

This down payment is 26 dead and many others maimed for life.

[sarasmom]

Agreed.I think we all knew we were getting WWIII for Christmas anyway.

Israel needs to respond in a big way and do it quickly. With each passing day the calls for restraint will increase trying to put pressure on them to work out a peace deal with these terrorist.

[Teacher317]

Good. Always consider ALL the possibilities.

Colin Powell is batting a no-hitter thus far...why spoil his dubious record?

Israel is the home of God's Chosen People...the Pali's ain't the sharpest knives in the drawer, are they?

Declare war and let's get that Rapture thing going!

This is the way to go, but chances are they won't do it.

Others prefer the guidelines recommended by Secretary of State Colin Powell's envoy, retired Marine general Anthony Zinni, and to continue pressuring Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat to take decisive action against terrorists

That snickering sound you hear is coming from Mr. Arafat.

[mdittmar]

To weird,we are at war,but not with a country.

Now Israel may declare war on people without a country.

It's like descevous all over again.

[follow your bliss]

descevous?

[mdittmar]

You say tamato,I say tomato.

[brat]

As well it should! How much more can they take? They undergo 9/11 on a monthly basis!

[Reagan is King]

Finally! Ignore Colin Powell, ignore the UN, ignore the liberal left, and go take care of business!

The game is over for Arafat. If he does not go after Hamas & company, the world will have no problem with Israel attacking. If Arafat goes after Hamas, he will be killed by Hamas. If that happens, the world will back an attack on the even more militant Hamas.

Israel and the United States will be free to settle this problem once and for all. No Muslim countries will come to the aid of the Palestinians. If they had any real interest, they already would have acted. After Afghanistan and what is about to happen to Iraq, no country wants to be on the U.S. hit list. As someone said, we neeed to stop caring if they like us just as long as they respect us.

Like it or not, we are the Roman Empire of the modern world. The barbarians have rioted long enough. Now is the time for the Emperor's top troops to unleash hell.
