File under: Hamas

#1 ""The Egyptians are doing great work on land against the smuggling tunnels, making the sea the endless tunnel for Hamas,"

Darn right.

So now Egypt improvises.

Overcomes.

#3 "...most of the smuggling vessels which we thwarted were sunk from afar when we knew they had weapons on them."

I like this kind of action. No word on whether anybody was rescued after the sinking. Wonder why there is nothing from Hamas on this?????

#5 And the White House had talks with Hamas.
I am wondering what they talk about how to kill Jews more efficiently?
As a Jewish person living here, I am scare.
And I have very good reasons, I know that a Islamic radical lives in the White House.

#9 You mean the white house who arms Mexican drug cartels, boosts the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, armed and supplied a number of groups which 'unexpectedly' turned to ISJV? Among others:

Boycott of Honduras
Legal argument for Argentina to claim Falklands
Did not support Iranians vs Dinnerjacket election
Schmoozing with Chavez, Castros
War with Syria without Congressional approval
War with Libya outside of UN mandate
Disarming east Europe anti-missile systems
Public alignment, or at least acceptance, of Erdagon
Standoffish, at least, of US LEOs
The demilitarization of the military
The militarization of Fed Offices
The War on Productivity
Moham is a peacemaker/Jesus kills slaves

#10 With the, uhem, success of Yemen, I'm a bit concerned that the sudden rule of law Congressional War Approval has an ominous unavoidable event on the near horizion; time to redistribute the blame.

And since everything is domestic politics with TFG, I'm starting to pen in that these overseas contengency plans of strategic wanking are political bones to throw at political hawks and AAA potential political pitchers.

BTW, anyone else puzzled by the rather let'em go attitude of the Yemeni rebels concerning foreign personelle after so many years of promising dire revenge? Or why our persons were still there after a month of game over?
