It was said of the French that their armies were most dangerous when they believed they were winning.

Perhaps the same applies to Hamas.

Hamas has integrated the tunnel network into the civilian infrastructure of Gaza, constructing entrances in homes and even mosques.

EVEN mosques? I would have thought ESPECIALLY mosques, schools and hospitals. The mosques are as much armories as religious facilities.

a recognizable wave of demoralization has washed over Hamas's combat battalions

Someone probably had a near death experience and reported back about his 72 virgins ....

Hamas needs a cease-fire. To regroup and re-arm.

Then, back to business.

This morning we stormed a position, and they just weren't there. I don't see a determined enemy. We have encountered stronger pockets of fighting in the past. But now, I would not give them a high grade for fighting spirit."

They're making the mistake of thinking that Arabs fight like the West. They don't. Their method is to do a raid attack on an unprepared enemy, fade away, hit elsewhere, fade away, until their enemy goes down bleeding from a thousand cuts.

The Arabic translation for “ceasefire” is “Reload”.

Ironic that it seems to describe Obama and his gaggle of goblins too.
