#1 Abu Mazen can call it whatever he wants. But it's punishment. Punishment for electing Hamas to the majority of the Govt, for being a pain in the ass, and for bagging a soldier and a citizen. Now it's pay time, and the tab is very, very large. Let them sit in the dark for the next few months and think about it. Let them walk 6 blocks for a bottle of water. Let them wait another 4 months for a paycheck. But somehow I don't think it is going to sink into their thick heads anytime soon that they may be their own worst problem.

#2 Extreme measures?!? Crap. I was hoping for carpet bombing.

#3 Israel needs to do the deeds and not talk about them. Take out the Hamas leadership now. Abbas can talk to his soup bowl for all we care. He is as useless as the Arafish.

#4 One extreme thing out of this is that it has been very humiliating for Hamas.

1. a split between Hamas factions, which always existed was made public

2. The Hamas leader was shown to be powerless to control his own troops.

3. The Hamas troops were shown to be powerless to stop the Israelis.

4. The PA was shown as powerless to get an instant condemnation of Israel by the Arab League, Jordan or Egypt.

#5 ...accused Israel of seeking to cause "chaos and provoke a new bloody conflict".

Translation: "We're the only ones allowed to do that."

#6 EU External Relations Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner urged both sides to end hostilities.

They "need to step back from the brink before this becomes a crisis that neither can control," she said in a statement.

Can someone hand me a paper towel? I just spewed a mouthful of wine all over my monitor.

#7 It's time for Israel to break the back of the paleostains. I would strongly urge Israel to pull back from gaza, line up all the artillery they can muster, and walk shells back and forth across the entire gaza area for a week or so, THEN send in a strike force to take care of anyone that survived. Once they've finished, do the same thing to the west bank, starting with Ramallah. There won't be a "palestine" problem if there are no "palestinians". That means wiping out the paleostain refugee camps in Lebanon and Jordan as well. Good riddance to a world nuisance.

#8 Darfur, Gaza. What the hell's the difference? Ignore 'em both.

#9 The more I think about it, the more I believe the Gazans should all be deported to Syria. Hopefully they will do for Syria what they did for Jordan and Lebanon.

#10 I hope their "extreme measures" include a lot of extreme prejudice.

#13 It's going to be interesting to see how much of the tab the Euros are willing to pick up to rebuild this rubble pile. Especially as we all know it will be returned to rubble before the rebuilding is completed.

I think it's now an Airmap straight over baby Assad's palace by the IAF, lol! Flying's much cheaper and faster these days, ya know?

#18 White House spokesman Tony Snow backed Israel's "right to defend itself" and blamed Hamas for the incursion, but urged Israel to ensure "innocent civilians are not harmed."

It's Ok Mr Snow. There are no innocent civilians in ~~Mordor~~ Palestine.
