#1 Israel is pursuing other, wider goals," he said on Saturday.

No kidding.

#2 If Bush would publicly say to Israel, "Do want you need to, and don't worry about Europe or Russia. I'll take care of them." I would send him one of my girlfriends for a weekend. I would even let him choose which one.

#5 Brilliant, Vlad, just as you had motives other than finding the hostage takers in Chechnya.

#6 Shitrack and Phrawnce need to be told to sit in the corner until they can grow up. The problem is Iran pulling strings in Syria, Lebanon, and with Hamas and Hezbollah. The current president of Lebanon, emile lahoud, needs to be hung from the radar mount of an Israeli Saar-5 class boat, cruising up and down the coast of Lebanon for all to see. Vlad Putin needs to meet Vlad the Impaler in a dark alley somewhere in Moscow. Both France, with an almost negative GDP growth, and Russia, a failed state, need to be dropped from the G-8, possibly along with a few others. Israel needs to crush Hezbollah and hit the offices of Hamas and the PLO in Damascus, possibly also the Presidential Palace and a few dozen offices - especially Ba'ath party headquarters. I'd use a medium-sized nuke for that last one, if Buffs aren't available. The Israelis need something that will rattle the rats in the sewer from 10 miles away, like an ARCLIGHT strike, and use it on downtown Damascus. There are enough rats there that need to be "disturbed".

What I would LOVE to see is a combined US/UK/Israel strike on Damascus, Qom, and Tehran, plus all the oil infrastructure in Iran. Let the world know that we will no longer tolerate "this shit", as the President so aptly said.
