#1 Folks, the IDF has just been given the name of a leader. And the name is (*drumroll*)........

Hamas political leader Khaled Meshaal

Congradulations, Khaled, you get a free busride to hell for that little rant.

#3 We will not be victorious unless the other side of the battle is Arab and Muslim. All of the Arabs and Muslims.

Okay, we'll take Israel and Ditka against all your guys. Call it.

#5 I sent George a short list - 289 targets that should have a surprise sunrise, should muslim terrorists manage to hit the United States with nuclear or chemical weapons. THIS IS THE ONLY MESSAGE THE WHITE HOUSE HAS EVER ACKNOWLEDGED GETTING FROM ME, and I've sent over 200. It was a polite "thank you, your idea is being considered" note, but I'm sure someone had a smile on their face when they sent it. I even took the time to put it in priority order... 8^) According to the copy I kept, Aswan was #14, and Damascus was #28. Riyadh was #7.

I wonder if there aren't more than a few Muslims out there that KNOW we can play a lot more nastily than we have so far, and might not wish that HAMAS would just STFU!

#6 The only question now is...how long will it take before we see whose next in the batting cage.

#7 I think it's more like dodgeball now

#8 Will someone smart please explain to me why this is not a declaration of war against the U.S.? Or do things like that just not matter any more?

#9 I believe Meshaal is the overall head of Hamas, now that Sheikh Yassin is titzup, but he remains in Damascus, which is where the head of Islamic Jihad hangs out. They're less likely to be bumped off there, and it's closer to the money. Meshaal's been the head of the politburo for awhile now.

IDF said Rantissi's successor is Zahar, who lives in Gaza, and that tracks with what I expected, most of the rest of the politburo being worm food now. Sheikh Yassin, Rantissi and Shanab are all among the dearly departed, so the job went to Zahar by default. Haniyeh's probably a member now, replacing Shanab. I suppose we'll find out who replaces Yassin and Rantissi.

#10 So...this is Arisia vs. Eddore? QX! Does that make Al Qaeda Boskone?

#11 The Hamas politburo chief vowed Palestinians would "turn Earth on their heads, God willing."

The Israelis live "in horror...ahead of our response, during it and after it," he said. "Do not worry, there will be a response and resistance will continue, God willing."

What's with the "inshallah" (God willing)? These clowns use it as a built in excuse for failure -- "Alas, God didn't will it!" "How come we haven't moved forward as a society in 1000 years?" "God doesn't will it." @sshats!

#12 It's amazing how thick-headed these guys are. They jerk everybody around, and when they get called on it, they whine and threaten more of what hasn't worked.

That little saying about insanity being the act of doing the same thing over and over and each time expecting a different result? It applies to the Palestinians perfectly.
