U.S. Should Help Destroy Hamas

Terrorism came home to America again last week in the form of the caskets of U.S. citizens murdered when Palestinian terrorists bombed the campus of Israel's Hebrew University.

The five slain Americans were attending classes at the college, which draws students from around the world. Two Israelis were also killed.

Hamas has made it clear that they will murder anyone they choose. Just like the German's insistence on unrestricted submarine warfare in WWI, Hamas is a clear and present danger to all civilized society on this planet. Hamas must all die if we are to secure and preserve the lives of ourselves and our loved ones.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

We will soon see if George Bush measures up to Ronald Reagan.

Reagan "neutralized" Khaddafy when a couple of Americans were bombed by Libyan terrorist in Germany.

Bush must retaliate against Hamas soon and in a dramatic fashion.

[Jumper]

Hamas and the Hezbulla (sp) are instruments of States of the Mid East Region, e.g., Iran and Iraq, and with direct funding from our frinds in Saudi Araba. Of course, to make a case for publically associating these states with terrorism would lead to making them all targets (at once) in the War on Terrorism. The war of terrorism is a strange one indeed, one in which Diplomatic and Economic pressure is applied; one in which Intelligence is gathered; one in which Special Ops is used secretly; one in which we must conduct State by State so as to isloate and defeat with minimum costs....

The destruction of this and other groups around the globe is in full swing - just look at Greece and Italy working against age old groups - Columbia, Peru, etc., also cleaning out communist terrorist cells - and the financial rewards to communist regimes who once openly funded these groups is openly dimished as country to coutnry agreements corner the leaders in globialization funding agreements....

The Hamas will continue to step up their attacks until Iraq, Syria, and Iran are under new management (to include Afarat's crew deparating); and then the Saudi's will be given a final chance before "business" costs too much to deal with them as a state!

President Bush said he was "distressed" by the bombing. "There are a few killers who want to stop the peace process that we have started. We must not let them," Bush said as he began an early round of golf

Hamas is more than a 'few' killer.

[Mark17]

That in itself should make them fair game, but now they've also killed young Americans.

You say NOW they have killed young Amereicans? They have been doing this for decades, though not necessarily Hamas, but other terrorist groups. There was the Marine barracks in Beirut, the Khobar Towers, the embassies, the USS Cole, and little was ever done about it. I mean, I am all for destroying Hamas and all the other scum bag terrorists out there, but my opinion is, that we are getting nothing but rhetoric from the White House. I can only hope that we have covert ops going on, and maybe some of these dirt bags are assuming room temperature, and maybe we don't even know it is going on.

[Mark17]

Hi Jackie, nice to see you are still around. We posted at the same time.

[Mr. Mojo]

"Bush should offer the full assistance of the United States in wiping out the Hamas terrorists."

Agreed, but we musn't upset our mortal enemies.....errr....I mean our "good friends" the Saudis, and helping Israel wipe out Hamas, Islamic Jihad, or Hizbollah would send our terrorist friends (the Saudis) into a Jihadist frenzy which would most likely result in a oil crisis. Oil crisis = GOP loses badly in Nov., and the oil-rich Bush family loses tons of money. So, until we've weaned ourselves off Saudi oil and onto Russian oil, we'll be kissing the Saudis' royal posteriors.

[Jonathon Spectre]

Bush's refusal to do anything but issue weak condemnations is hurting America.

These maggots understand nothing but strength. It's time to show a little. To do otherwise invites continued attacks.

[wattsmag2]

I agree with this title. Send more bulldozers.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

You know, given the large numbers of Arabs and Islamists in the Detroit (and Michigan) area, this is a rather courageous piece for the Detroit News to put out.

It is the rarest of all occasions for our media establishment to show courage.

Bravo for this paper.

[Robert_Paulson2]

he wont
he cant
he has an iraqi wet dream
he is committed to a palestinian state
palestine is committed to the destruction of israel
arabs and all of islam supports them
bush cannot bring himself to face the fact
islam is evil
islam is satan
islam is death
arabs who follow islam are the problem
everywhere in the world
he cannot do what must be done
people might not like him
we knew it would happen
when he changed Infinite Justice's name to
whatever else, Enduring Freedom?
to placate the muslims
the very ones,
who need to die.
WE don't need freedom
its already ours
we need to execute a crusade of infinite justice
on the evil followers of the religious cult of death
called islam

until w faces this fact
there will be no actual victory in this
otherwise undeclared war on "terror"

Islam IS the terror.

[Robert_Paulson2]

polls show 80 percent of palestinians support and approve of suicide killers. The remaining 20 are too small to carry a bomb belt. But they soon will be ready too.

they are all evil.

If you carpet bombed them all to death, only 20 percent would be "innocent" or "neutral" citizens till they reached the age of 3, that is.

bush is deluded if he truly thinks only a minority of muslims there are evil.
NOT in palestine.
Not in Iraq.
NOT in Saudi Arabia
Not in Egypt.
MAYBE in malaysia.
Maybe in Turkey.

If he believes that Islam is peace and the trouble makers are but a few... he is deluded.

If he KNOWS otherwise and is lying, he thinks we are stupid and cannot think for ourselves... explains his obsession with social spending programs btw.

Either way, he is acting unfit as a commander in cheif... until he DOES something PUBLICLY, ACTIVELY and WITHOUT EQUIVOCATION... to punish Islam and ARABS who kill americans and jews... and then cry "we are the victims" all the way to the C-4 Stockpile... yet again.

WAKE UP W...
Iraq is a waste of time... and planning for it is too.
Go for the jugular. Do it today.

Lend the IDF a few B-52s and let them do it!

U.S. Should Help Destroy Hamas

Fat chance. Hamas is a Palestinian organization and the Palestinians are sacred people. All the US can do is to intensify "peace efforts" (euphemism for leaning on Israel)

[OldFriend]

Bill Clinton helped resurrect Hamas after Israel threw them out of the country.

[OldFriend]

The problem in Saudi right now is that the rulers are on the brink of being overthrown by OBL types. Be careful what you wish for.

[Mr. Mojo]

The insane Wahabbists are a disease that Saudis themselves have bred (through their anti-Israel and anti-American "educational" cirricula). As you probably know, they had little choice in the matter if they wanted to stay in power. If there's no external enemy for their Jihadist populace to obsess over, they'd inevitably turn their attention to their own leaders, and the fact the .00001% live in obsene luxury while the rest live in abject poverty. Concocting a "Great Satan" was the House of Saud's survival mechanism, nothing more.

So, my view is that the longer we wait to destroy the Saudis, the more dangerous the Jihadist beast will become. My prediction: This fall, Iraq. Next fall, Saudi Arabia.

Hamas Delende Est

I already have seen that Bush will not measure up to Ronald Regan.
