Hamas, however, is said to have rejected an offer by Cairo to allow the transportation of severely wounded Gazans to Egypt.

Hamas: 'We need nore victims...'

I wonder if Hamas has those tandem anti tank rockets that are dangerous to Merkava tanks?

Five daughters of Anouar Balousha, a resident of the densely-populated northern Gaza town of Jabaliya, were killed when debris flew into his house, located close to a Hamas-used mosque targeted

And just where have been the names of those murdered by Pali suicide bombers...?

Big mistake.

As many as 40 tunnels, used to smuggle goods and weapons into the strip, were said to have already been destroyed in a matter of minutes when bombed on Sunday.

Nope. Gotta take out the perps...

Obama is going to have to tackle the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" issue faster than he thought.

Hope they were full!

Hamas doesn't seem to be garnering that much sympathy this time around except from the usual suspects, the UN, the Messiah, and other nobodies.

What's the hurry? They can Arty those tunnels forever. If they send in the Merkvas they're going to lose a bunch of them to mines, traps, and RPGs.

I'm pretty sure the country of Israel is kinda tired of being randomly shelled on a daily basis. Take out a few small fish before scoring the bigger one - Iran.

Big mistake.

When will it not be a big mistake. What makes you think that the entire Arab world will never attempt to wipe the entire Western civilized off the map, including us. Too bad it had to start, but here we are, waiting for the hammer to hit. Israel had the guts to protect itself and should have done it years ago. There will never be a good time for the next world war, which is certain to be.

Biden may have been right. Obama may have to face a "Don't Talk, Shoot First" decision early in his first term.

endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary

Incoming rockets are not imaginary.

I posted in another thread that the tunnels remind me of the Vietcong in Vietnam and if there are tunnel networks found to be leading into Israel as a result of this offensive then they will have made the right decision to act now.

No kidding. I suggest bombing the place until nothing is left twitching.

Then napalm the rubble.
