#1 what strikes me reading this is the new phase of the war we have just entered. NPR, BBC, Rudeerrors, and all their ilk, can post all the scare quotes and talk of "summer camps" they want. It's not effective anymore - other than to give talking points to the apologists already proud to sport their tin-foil hats.

While that "summer camp" talk gives the Euroweenies and our left talking points for their apologies - no one who matters is listening anymore.

The fact that Masri is willing to forgo that charade shows even the "terrorists" are willing to forgo the silly pretense of "innocent victim" and start referring to themselves as "elite fighters".

It's a new day indeed.

#2 After all, Israel now calls this method the "Yassin Procedure". Get your paint scrapers ready. There is a lot of red-brown stain on the cobblestone.

Does the pilot of the Isralei helicopter get to put a little turban decal with a red "X" across it for every terrorist bagged on his machine?

#3 Is there an informative site like this without all the graffiti and moustaches and horns drawn on all the pictures? I really like this site but sometimes the every-third-word jeering and derision makes the articles ridiculously difficult to read.

#4 Maybe we could invite all the paleo boys over for a big party in Yankee stadium after the regular season ends. Looks like the Yankees probably won't be needing it. (I root for two teams: The Red Sox and anyone who beats the Yankees).

#7 #3 - in fairness most of the "comments" are not this extensive. Zen went a tad wild on this one.

#8 " Hamas terrorists who were bombed by the Israelis as they paraded on a football field."

Parading at midnight? Sounds to me like the company commander wanted to do some extra practice so they could win the Pass-in-Review guideon banner at the next All Gaza Terrorist Jamboree.

#9 Zen went a tad wild on this one.

Every once in a while, the content just begs for some major parody work. I've been restraining myself of late but just had to cut loose with this one. As mentioned in the title line, this was old news in a new bottle. The details were a little more illuminating and I could not resist having a laugh at the expense of those Hamas murderers who were stupid enough to cluster up like this.

The 14 dead Hamas thugs nearly achieves parity for the 16 fatalities in the recent bus bombings. One can only imagine how many more Israeli lives were saved by eliminating these Hamas operatives before they deployed. That they were stupid enough to bunch up into an ultra-rich target sealed their doom and happily so. I'll also venture that all the people standing around watching these 14 killers weren't there to protest. Ergo, any collateral casualties were just icing on the cake.

#10 Ignore the grouchy guy - I enjoy the snide comments. Makes reading the news more fun.

#11 Now that's what I call a "passing out" (permanently) parade!

#12 Does this qualify as the unsuccessful running of the naked bootleg play?
