20:26 Israel launches ground offensive in Gaza (Channel 2)
(Excerpt) Read more at haaretz.com ...
If that’s true, and if it continues to be the administration’s position, then it means Bush finally over-ruled Rice.
I think it is about 5 miles wide.
In other words don't bother me now!
The IDF has to go in to destroy Hamas’ stockpiles, probably cut off the flow from Dayr al Balah and the Egytian border. I don’t think they want to go into Gaza.....seige and strikes from the air and artillery.
Gaza Strip is about 25 miles long and three to seven miles wide.
Did you hear the NY Times Gaza correspondant on a little bit ago? Wow, was she ever neutral. (/sarc)
21:50 EU presidency: Israel ground action in Gaza is `defensive, not offensive` (Reuters)
See my post # 58
Who is the EU predident?
Ah, the big O is voting “present’ again, I see.
Wonder what his evasion tactic will be after noon, on January 20th? Also wondering how long the press will be content with whatever it is...
Approx. 100 sq mi, then.
Hmmmmmmmmmm, let's see. 100 D-9s working 24/7, averaging 2 mph...divide by four, carry the two...
I make it 33 hours until Gaza has been plowed under.
Next, 200 dump trucks loaded with salt...
Obama: Leave all the hard work and tough decisions to the Bush Administration (who we’ll end blaming the whole mess on anyway) and let me get back to easy work of giving away a trillion bucks on pet Democrat constituencies.
Something in S. Gaza City just went boom and is burning furiously. Allah be PWN3D!
Ha, so you DID hear her. :) I hadn’t read that far down the thread yet of course. She was something, wasn’t she.
“How can you keep from harming any innocent civilians.”
that’s the stupidest question indeed. It’s called collateral damage. Innocent people have died in every war since the beginning.
Allah be PWN3D!

I believe it’s now the head of the Czech Republic, President Klaus..
From The Australian yesterday: “The new head of the European Union believes climate change is a myth, has compared the EU to a communist state and refuses to fly its flag over Prague Castle.”
Since I’m half Czech, I love this guy!
i think that CNN is showing that live..large fire
The NYT reporter was really outdoing herself - letting the world know how big, bad Israel was terrorizing innocent civilians.
I so wanted FNC to say to her, “So the citizens of Gaza must certainly regret putting Hamas in power; they must be furious at Hamas for bringing this upon the people.”
But alas, it was not to be.
