ISRAELIS SPRING DEATH TRAP ON BOMB ‘DISPATCHER'

JERUSALEM - Israeli forces yesterday tracked down and killed the mastermind of a homicide bombing and uncovered an explosives cache that was to be used in a new attack, authorities said.

Ali Ajouri, a top commander in Yasser Arafat's Tanzim paramilitary, was surprised by commandos in a village near the West Bank town of Jenin.

I like the message here.

"If you plan on blowing up Israelies, we will hunt you down and kill you."

Problem is, how many MORE Israelies will die before the gloves come completely off?

I have a feeling they will have to do a lot of hunting & killing, as they are all potential suicide bombers in Pal. They glorify them, so they have a waiting list of volunteers! What a crazy country!!!!

Ajouri was described as the "dispatcher" of two homicide bombers who blew themselves up in Tel Aviv's old bus station last month, killing five people.

This guy would have been much more valuable alive for questioning while drugged than dead in the street.

Indeed, Israel tries to catch them alive, but when they shoot back on arrest, the gloves come off. Most are captured alive. They have 140 in jail right now. The information they provide is no doubt quite valuable. The IDF is taking apart the PLO and its comrads in arms, Hamas, PLPF and Islamic Jihad one thread at a time.

A good indication of how well it is going is the HAMAS promiseed to kill many Jews after their leader was wiped out. For days nothing happened, until Israel opened the territories. The first bomb came 5 hours later. Now the territories are closed again. And again, it is quiet. It pretty effectively demonstrates that Hamas is boxed in tight. Day by day, bit by bit the terrorist machine of Oslo is being dismantled.

Israel has not given up trying to salvage the future of a free and independant Palestine. They are working hard to try to weed out the terrorists and leave the rest of their "society" intact. I think it is a waste of time, but commend them for their efforts.

In human terms, the death of a half dozen students far outweighs the the demise of this human cockroach, but in the sad calculus of war, the loss of a terrorist like Ajouri, representing a massive investment in training, is the heavier blow.

Unfortunately, Israel will never break the will of the Jihadists unless it can land really heavy hits and strike them in their rear areas. While the Jihadists retain an inviolate sanctuary, they can survive and breed new tentacles. Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Syria are to Israel what the denied sanctuaries were to America during the Vietnam war. Only America can strategically defeat Islam. Israel does not have the global reach to destroy these base areas, or wage war on a planetary basis in the same way the US can.

Ajouri's death is like garlic on the door, but only America can drive a stake through the vampire's heart.
