#2 That's what I like about this joint. It only took Wretchard's crew about 40 comments to come to the same conclusion as Rantburg does in the in-line comments!

#6 Seems as though it pins the blame on the acts of individuals, who happen to belong to an organization, who happens to be a subset of a state. Pay no attention to the men behind the curtain.

#7 "an extremely serious situation which could subject all Arab nations and its achievements to destruction."

I've pondered this for some time and I can't make heads 'r tails of it. I just draw a blank.

Anybody know what A-rab achievements he's prattlin' about?

#8 Chaish:

My guess: It's Arab-speak for the bites taken out of Israel's hide.

#9 The Arab achievement that the Saudis may be proud of is that, although they have taken hits from the local AlQ, they have prevented kidnapping of Saudi officials.

Hamas and Hizb Allah have put kidnapping back on the menu.

#10 Kidnapping is definitely a tactic we will see till they are destroyed or take some Todd Beamers.

#11 The only A-rabb achievement I know of is hashish - if one believes that is an achievement.

#12 #7, #8, #11 - Don't be mean.

The Arabs have invented "achieved" at least two things in the last 1000 years.

The homicide bomb belt and the buzzing prayer rug.

Now aren't you ashamed of yourselves for doubting them?



;-p

#13 I'll be interested to see this play out. Israel has a chance to end the usefullness of kidnapping once and for all. They have always traded prisoners for kidnapped Israelis before, and I don't think the arabs thought that would ever change. Now all of a sudden they are changing the rules and the mooks dont know what the hell to do. Havent heard much out of Gaza lately either have you? I think they are starting to regret the day they ever heard the name Gilad Shalit. But you have to mask that with bullshit arab machismo so your buddies will think you are still the winner out of all this. Over 1 soldier they are going to get their whole country destroyed, it will take them years to rebuild what Israel has destroyed.

#14 Kidnapping was the trigger that started the process to clean out the rats nests. Even Olmert could see that Israel was being surrounded by well-financed and supplied VERY hostile forces, not the usual Paleo seething morons. They had to act and go on the offensive before their enemies could mount a real combined offensive.

#15 Don't forget Ahmadinajad and friends. They really do intend to wipe out Israel if they can, and the Israelis know it even if some in Europe and here would like to pretend it's just rhetoric.

#16 The only reason the Saudis are criticizing Hezbollah is because this whole business is a Persian power play.

#17 In a significant move, Saudi Arabia, the Arab world's political heavyweight and economic powerhouse, accused Hizbullah guerrillas - without naming them - of "uncalculated adventures" that could precipitate a new Middle East crisis.

I know it says "Arab" economic powerhouse, but good grief, this is ridiculous. Even with all the oil monies they're raking in, I'ma sure they're still behind the top 5 economic powerhouses in the world, with California by itself being #5 or #6. And, I agree with'n all the comments above...hear, hear, mods on the inline comments.

#18 "...even if some in Europe and here would like to pretend it's just rhetoric."

This might sound terrible, but I am starting to beleave that some in Europe hope Iran nukes Israel. Beyond the anti-Semitic reasons, this would remove the mideast peace Problems forever (at least as some see it) as Jews died or fled to America and it would shift the Holocaust burden away from Europe.

#19 rj, your're starting to think that?

#20 Actually, #12, the homicide belt bomb and homicide bra bomb were invented by the LTTE {Tamil Tigers}. Since Tamil girls tend towards the top heavy, the bra bomb has be very popular with the LTTE as a way for kamikazee attacks on market places, movie theatres, and the like. Especially since when they were first used, the Sri Lankans tended not to check out the "endowment" of the Tamil girls. Since then, SL Police now have a lot of women cops just for those searches.
