#1 Why are the US-UK funding this travesty. Is anybody home minding the store in Washington and London?

#2 Has nothing been learned from those bitter experiences? asked the Israeli officer.

Apparently, not.

#3 I just saw some Paleo scumbag on the BBC talking about how "the people of Gaza" held "the international community" responsible for having "forsaken them." I wanted to puke. They're the ones who elected a government sworn to destroy Israel. My thoughts were that I'd not care if everyone in Gaza starved and that the sooner they are dead the better off the world will be. The only thing that surpasses their arrogant hatred is their ineffectiveness.

#4 Uncle Sam remains forever a chump.
This will only change when real people not plastic ones are in the State Dept.

#5 To paraphrase a very wise comment from a fellow Rantburger yesterday, Normally I'd break out the Orville Redenbacher, but I've got dog in this fight -- so nevermind.

#6 Soon enough, Abbas is going to get his own, very personal "arms delivery."

#7 Time for Israel to quit sharing intel with Abbas, including attempts to assassinate old Mahmoud. In fact, it might be a good thing for Israel to whack Abbas themselves. All paleostains need to be whacked or driven as far from Israel as possible - maybe to Somalia where they'll fit right in.

If I were the president of Israel, I'd line up about 400 artillery pieces, and start wiping out Ramallah, starting with Abbas' office. Then I'd change aim points to Nablus, followed by Gaza City. Pound the sh$$ out of these arrogant, dumb bas$$$$s until they scream for mercy. Then tell them they can only obtain mercy in Egypt's Sinai or the eastern portion of Jordan. If anyone in the Middle East complains, up the ante by bombing the he$$ out of their capital. It's time Israel quit playing defence and went on the offensive. Defence never wins wars.

#8 more to this than debka is letting on

I think some of the people quoted here may be out of the loop.

Abu Awad may be a terrorist jackel but he may also have given the IDF or Shin Bet a bit of Intel along the way. Wait 48 hours or so to see what the security cabinet's reaction is (or isn't).

#9 Yep, the Debka story might be cover for Mahmoud the Rat.
