#2 One of the few military events over the years that actually brought me to tears; the brilliance, the audacity in the planning and execution. Gliding in 'black' like the space shuttle; Paratroopers storming the terminal in sneakers to eliminate 'running rumble', silencers all, timed to the precision of a stop watch in the extraction! All parts of the Israeli machine under the direction of the Mossad Aced the rescue and would have been a perfect operation short of the two critical operation unit members that were killed.

#3 All is all, it was a FINE bicentennial birthday present for freedom, in a decade when it was sorely needed.
RIP

#5 Yitgal v'yitkadash sh'mai rabbah. Magnified and sanctified is the name of the Lord.

He has stood between Israel and her enemies, between civilization and those that would bring it down.
