#1 Hundas still work, I see.

Israel, you are strong in arms but weak in spirit.

#2 Its already starting.
That's just three hrs. a day for Hamas to truck around rockets and move freely throughout gaza.
Why even bother starting a war you don't intend to win?

#6 Israel tries to fight humanely in this war.
No other country would have stopped bombarding the enemy who sends missiles to her highly populated cities in order to let food supplies
get to the enemy. We should all applaud Israel.

#7 Stephen Green on Vodkapundit said it best.

Q: When did the Civil War end?

A: When the South was burned, occupied, and crying uncle.

Q: When did World War I end?

A: It didn’t really end until World War II ended.

Q: OK, Mr. Smarty Pants, when did WWII end?

A: It ended when Germany was burned, occupied, and crying uncle. And when Japan was burned, occupied, slightly radioactive, and crying uncle.

Q: Well, what about Korea?

A: That war is still on, too.

Q: Oh.

A: Did you have another question?

Q: Yes. When did Vietnam end?

A: It ended when South Vietnam was burned, occupied, and crying uncle.

And that makes this a very modern war, which won’t end until one side or the other is burned, occupied, and crying uncle. Fact is, the Palestinians can’t do that to the Israelis. Another fact is, the Israelis won’t (but could) do it to the Palestinians.

And that is why you almost never see me write anything about the Middle East “peace process.” The only process towards peace is the kind of war one side can’t commit, and the other side won’t.

#8 Shoot-look-shoot?

Let them hide deep in their holes for 21 hours a day. Then watch. Look for patterns of activity and adjust targeting as necessary.

#9 Number 8, MoFW; That was my first thought. I suspect that the drones and AC w/ recce pods will be out in force during that period.

#10 
5:44 PM Israel Channel 1 TV reports: Apparently, the long range rockets (3) which hit Be'er Sheva at 4:28 PM were set up by Hamas during the 3 hour "Humanitarian" cease fire.

#11 They should bomb the UN.

"Ooops! Just a little technical glitch, there."

#12 If a drone saw it and the IAF didn't hit it, it means that they didn't know it was a launch team until the launch was made. If they would have known and been able to hit it, they would have done so.

#13 I agree with number 6.

It is not ideal from the war fighters POV, but it buys political cover to keep this going a few more days.

#15 This actually gives Israel more time to chip away at selected targets because it takes the PR heat off a bit.
