Sniper Kills 10 More Israelis

A gun with a scope is not a hard thing to get. Ten kills is not a impossible task from a covered and hard to spot location. A good shooter could do it without special training as a sniper.

I agree with you-what I don't understand is why-why is Israel sitting on her hands for so long. Can you imagine what would be happening here in the US, if bombs were going off every day and killing innocent civilians?? What will it take for Israel to do something other than blow up some buildings?? If I didn't know better-I would think that Bill Clinton is running the Israeli defense!!

[Cold Heat]

The U.S. is largely responsible for holding the Israelis back. They have not yet loosened the ropes.

If I didn't know better-I would think that Bill Clinton is running the Israeli defense!!

he was.

Didn't you know he sent Carville (aka, mister snakehead) over to manage Barak's campaign?

THEN, Barak the puppet offers Yassir nearly everything he ever asked for in trade for peace. Yassir turned him down (huge mistake) and the whole thing fell apart.

Barak was hated for his pandering and now we have Sharon.

Then Clinton's cronies tried to get him nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, for his efforts in the region.

All part of the "legacy" man..

The Israelis are doing the Mid East version of bombing aspirin factories-they are acting like-well, felines-if you get my drift. They are getting slaughtered day in and day out, more boldly each time. If GW is holding them back,at what point does he release them?? Right now, the Palestinians are just using car and suicide bombers-I think Israel is the perfect set up for the backpack nuke. I don't understand the restraint- it doesn't accomplish anything, but gives the terrorists more time to regroup.

[Congressman Billybob]

Keep in mind these 10 dead in proportion to total population would be 200 dead in the US. That's a plane load of people. Israel has the justification to do what it needs to do.

I STILL CANNOT UNDERSTAND THE LACK OF A BOMBING ATTACK ON THE PALESTINIAN "CELEBRATIONS" OF THE MURDERS. The Palestinians who most have it coming, are self-selecting themselves and gathering at a single spot in the open.

New column up: "The Un-Music Man." You'll like this one a bunch.

I hate to propose a soution to this, but the idea of a buffer zone sounds good to me as a interim solution. Back the SOBs up about seven miles and level it! Kick their asses out of Jerusalem. Build a Berlin type protection zone! Double tap any MF that enters the zone.

If I were God, I would not help either side to win. I would try to prevent the confrontation, but once started, I would be a spectator.

But thats just it...we're not God. The Jews are Gods chosen people. If you beleive what the bible says He is not neutral on this dispute. Read the Book of Romans Chapters 9-11 to see what God has planned for Israel.

Islamic Jihad aside, none of these photos denote any sort of religious message. The headbands the kids are wearing typically say things like "remember the martyrs to the Palestinian cause."

Get the players straight. Not all that is Muslim is Arab, and not all that is Arab is Muslim--especially in the case of the Palestinians, whose factions such as Fatah are Marxist.

[Illbay]

BTW, they WILL win, if Israel doesn't stop acting like France.

[Illbay]

Yes, and the sooner it is acknowledged across the board that the U.S. and Israel have the right to pursue their own self-defense the better.

Who cares? I'm not looking for anyone to acknowledge anything, much less "across the board."

It doesn't matter. For all the diplomatic posturing, behind the scenes everyone knows the rules, that nations have the right of self-defense.

The sooner you ignore those whose words aren't worth a fart in a whirlwind, the better you'll sleep at night.

[RightWhale]

Well said.

[Illbay]

For myself, I've never cared a single minute about "revenge." I want justice. And we have the power and the will to exact it. And beyond that, I want the threat to my country, my posterity, and the liberty of the citizenry of the United States reduced to zero.

It is more of a "Euro-thing" to look at this in terms of a bill to be paid. That's why they moan about our possible attack on Iraq. THEY see it as "mission drift" because they're all perfectly willing to live with the status quo.

Of course, their continent has been bathed in bloodshed so many times throughout the centuries of their cultural existence, it's no wonder they're happy with that. They worked hard to appease the Kaiser, Hitler, Stalin and Kruschev, and they have no more soul.

For us, peace isn't simply the absence of war, it's the absence of THREAT. Hence, we fought a COLD WAR against Communist imperialism, the decades over which "world opinion" wanted détente and appeasement. But to us the threat was real just as long as that regime haunted the earth.

Well, they don't anymore, and the world is safer because WE weren't willing to "go along to get along."

I don't think our national resolve has changed that much, despite the fact that the outrageous willingness to coexist with evil that once made George McGovern a very unique Democrat has now become that party's standard line.

Re #3

Either way, this is more serious event than suicide bombing. This will make those at the receiving end more powerless than being hit by suicide bomber where at least bomber dies. Pali's low grade skill is improving steadily. At some point, Israel has to hit them back before West Bank is full of thousands of improved terrorists. But America has her own war schedule which she does not want to be upset by Israeli's pressing need. But stiffing Sharon indefinitely is untenable. Bush and Sharon have to talk and work out some plans which will satisfy both. No, I am not talking about peace talks. That one does not fly now.

[Brilliant]

I must admit that I think Sharon is fighting a losing war in any event. However, I think there is only one hope for ultimate peace, and that is to abandon his policy of measured retaliation. Right now, he is retaliating, but he is doing it in such a way as to avoid civilian casualties. I can understand why, but there is only one way to win a war, and that is to kill the enemy. He is not doing that.

[veronica]

Obviously the situation is beyond the control of both tribes.

We already beat the Sioux. You are fighting the wrong war.

But I reject your characterization of the sides in the Middle East war as being morally equivalent.

[meyer]

Great selection of music. Very appropriate, I'd say.

If it goes nuclear then so be it!

You know, if where the Palestinians are weren't so close to Israel, I'd be all for nuking them off of the face of the planet. Seriously.

I'm glad the Bush Administration opened the option for nukes. Forget what the effeminate Europeans' opinion is. If it comes a time where it would be in our best interest to use them, then like you said so correctly, "so be it."
