#2 I'm with Barack on this one. If they've the ability and will to do it, it's time to end Hamas. The Lightbringer is too much an unknown quantity and an opportunity has presented itself to act before he takes office.

Happy Huntin, IDF!

#3 I love it - it's called "reverse 911" when the fire authorities in SoCal use it to issue evacuation instructions. This is a much more interesting application.

Mike, good thinking. I wonder if the impending ascent of the nice young man really is affecting their operational decisions.

#4 No doubt Israel has factored in the day of anointment for The One, but I just wish they were heading east. Or is this really a feint?

#5 I just wish they were heading east. Or is this really a feint?

Actually, NM, it is a message to Iran: "You think you can nuke us without fear of retaliation, because we're reluctant to kill "innocent civilians"? Think again!"

#7 I just wish that instead of sending a message they'd reach out and touch someone.

#8 I saw the Defense Minister on CNN and the Anchor asked if he thought the strikes were "A proportional response to the rocket attacks from Gaza." I don't understand what a proportional respose wold look like? Were the Israel suposed to fire unguided rockets into civilian targets?

#9 I love it - it's called reverse 911

Given how they cheered and handed out candy during the original 911, they deserve everything they get. I hope Israel wipes out the entire nest of vipers.
