#1 "Women in Nablus ululated in joy...."

I read it wrongly for a second: I thought it was "urinated".

Created quite a funny image.

Come to think of it, maybe it was a typo. Wouldn't put anything past these Paleos.

#2 Problem: Bus bombs.
Solution: Artillery strikes. Leave nothing standing and then move the fence out to enclose the new rubble. Repeat as necessary.

#3 I'm sure gentle was probably ululating with joy as well. Celebrating the death of innocent Jewish people. Islam at its finest.

#4 fence along northern west bank - no booms in Tel Aviv or Netanya. No fence along southern West Bank - bus boom in Beersheva.

Answer - COMPLETE THE FENCE!!!!!

#5 I have a feeling Gentle felt NO disgust at reading about the hundreds of Palestinians [who] took to the streets in major cities in the West Bank and Gaza Strip to celebrate the double suicide bombings or that Women in Nablus ululated in joy as Arab satellite TV stations interrupted their normal programs to break the news of the bombings

No disgust and revulsion at the perpetrators of this attack on INNOCENT CIVILIANS, some of whom probably agree with her on certain topics.

No disgust and revulsion at the use of such tactics.

No disgust that her own people found this worthy of celebration. That they find support in their holy book for such actions. The bombing of a bus is a holy endeavor and to be celebrated. How revolting a culture they have created for themselves.

Yet, I wonder what her response will be when Israel goes after the perpetrators (who will likely hide amongst innocent civilians themselves!)?

#6 "Gentle" is a team of Islamic men.

Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat reiterated his call for sacrificing millions of martyrs to liberate Jerusalem. Well, that settles that, don't it!

Bryan: I thought the same--had to to a double-take on "uluated in joy."

This morning at the grocerty store I saw a photo of the bombing on the front page of NYT--a little kid with a backpack on, hanging out the window, dead, and I thought about how much the Paleos remind me of a group of bad alien-like apes. Their socialization is all wrong, and all they want is to follow leaders and idolize them--make them larger than life. What a bunch of losers. (No offense to real apes intended.)

#7 Chairman Yasser Arafat reiterated his call for sacrificing millions of martyrs. . .

"You dumb Al-Axha Suckers Brigade folks keep up blowing out your guts for me. He he he. I will stay safe here in my shrinking building (Damn Jew Mortars) in my West Bank HQ."

#8 Time for the elephant tick solution?

#9 One eyewitness to a recent bombing reported seeing the bus lifted into the air, so powerful was the explosion. A report on another bombing mentioned that one woman died in her seat with her legs still crossed.

And the Paleos celebrate in the streets. It really is obscene.

#10 Dance and sing, assholes. After the party's over and you wake up tomorrow morning, you'll still be living in a Palestinian shithole.

#11 Yes, complete the fence. Target the perps.

A couple of other thoughts. On Russert many months ago, Kerry declared that Israel had the right to defend itself, including wall and targeted killings. Bravo. The article's references to how this could have been a Hamas (or was it Hizbullah?) operation in order to embarrass PA/Arafat in its negotiations with Hizbullah (or was it Hamas?) in how to rule Gaza after pullout is instructive on the futility of nuance in the ME arena. Another gem: The bombing may have been a rogue Hamas cell operation, supported logistically by Hizbullah-local team or Hizbullah-Iranian team, with an ax to grind vs. Arafat. Or was it the other way around? Is your head spinning yet?

Unfortunately, Israel is where Kerry draws the line and why Bush gets my vote. Go for the bad guys whether they be in Iraq, Syria, Iran, Leb, WB and Gaza, etc. Be patient, be smart. Militarily or financially. With help of other countries or not. With help of allied groups in a certain country or not.

W, Condi, Rummy, our military have so much on their plates that I gaze in amazement at what they have accomplished in the teeth of the most vociferous anti-war, American self-loathing, LLL groups since LBJ.
