#1 The military wing of Hamas was one of three armed groups that claimed responsibility

That makes it an act of war. Since Hamas is the government now.

The paleo's never miss out on a chance to fuck-up any hope for peace. Dumbasses.

#2 What makes you think they want peace, CrazyF? They never have, and they never will.

They live only for conflict, and the hope of conquest.

#3 They never fail to fail. Crush Hamas and Fatah and the people will probably come out of hiding and vote for quiet.

#4 It's an act of war in the real world. That exclused all muslims and most western european residents.

Attack and drive them out. Drive them out to Palestine forever and be done with it.

#5 SPOD, Land Israel. The name "Palestine" was invented by Romans, and reintroduced by British colonialists.

#7 "We're out of Shalits?" Send in the tanks asap!

#8 Maybe Hamas could control their people better if they actually, you know, PAID them? With money, not with 100% rubber checks.

#9 Don't forget to bring the bulldozers and fence building crews right behind the tanks.

#11 Im betting a raid to free Shalit, not a a reoccupation. That, of course, presumes the Israelis have a good idea where he is.

as usual, intell is key.

#12 A "Greater Israel" is looking more and more attractive now. Go get that kid.

#14 You'd think the Ghaza Pals would be getting a little nervous about now. Egypt will not let them across the border if Israel rolls in. Troops on the border and a curfew for border residents in effect.

Fish in a barrel. And they don't see it. How stupid can a collective people be?

#15 "Fish in a barrel. And they don't see it. How stupid can a collective people be?"

A rhetorical question, of course...

#17 Part of me hopes that Shalit is not released. Israel deserves a gold-plated reason to drop in and get medieval all over their sorry Palestinian @sses.

Hamas has been begging for it so long, why should they be denied the serious @ss-kicking they so richly deserve?

#18 Yes Zenster, but have you read Caroline Glick's column? Seems like the Israelis are sending mixed messages.

I hope Cpl. Shalit is alive, but considering the morlocks that have captured him, what's the likelihood of that?

#19 I hope Cpl. Shalit is alive, but considering the morlocks that have captured him, what's the likelihood of that?

Even if these psychos could trade Shalit for a living Arafat again, they probably could not restrain themselves from slaying the young Israeli. The stupidity of these morons knows no bounds.

#20 My advise to Olmert would be,

Go in, get your soldier, and crush every piece of Hamas, Fatah, Al-Aqsa, etc and any other bit of resistance you can find while you're there. Then level and remove averything within 1,000 yards of the wall, and build another one. Make it a 1,000 yard "no mans' land", expect for Israeli soldiers checking for tunnels with sonar, bombs, or whatever method Israel prefers.

#21 I wonder if this young man didn't die soon after being abducted. IIRC the original reports were that he sustained multiple gunshots to the chest and stomach.

#22 Yes lotp, that sounds reasonable. Although I do hope he's alive, it's entirely possible he died *after* they'd started bragging that they'd got him and before it became obvious that the Israelis were very serious about getting him back.

They're left with a corpse, and a large number of very angry guys in tanks looking at them saying "where's our lad?"

Could be a big 'Oh shit' moment for Hamas now...

#23 I think it is either way, T.

#24 That would explain Ham-Ass having its 'lets talk about a peace deal' face on again.

Fool me once - shame on you! Fool me twice - shame on me!

#25 Some one pass the popcorn?

Any idea what the next UN resolution will say about this?

On second thought, pass me a Bud, this is going to be fun to watch.

you know, these fundamentalists, while very crazy are not the sharpest tool in the box.....I think terrorism as a growth industry in the middle east might be in for a down turn.
