President Vladimir Putin said Saturday that he thinks Israel is pursuing wider goals in its military campaign than the return of abducted soldiers.

"However complicated the questions are, maximum efforts must be applied to resolve the situation in a peaceful way and I think all efforts have not been exhausted," Putin said. "However, it is our impression that aside from seeking to return the abducted soldiers, Israel is pursuing wider goals."

Well if by "wider goals" he means finishing off Hezbollah -- I hope he is right.

No kidding. The purpose for any war is to re-write the facts on the ground. The previous status quo is what led to war, returning to it is to guarantee further war.

Israel has to create a new reality. That includes eliminating Hezbollah and Hamas from the equation, pushing them completely out of the region. They must not survive in any country bordering Israel. And the borders have to be re-drawn, so that they become more easily defensible, but more importantly to deliver a message that violations of the peace carry a price tag that will show up on the map; an attack on Israel means a new borderline, every time. Any country that attacks it, any country that allows itself to be a host for Israel's attackers, will get measurably smaller.

I hope he is right and the Israelis are finally going to put an end to the continual harassment for the Palestinians and their fellow Fascists. It's about time.

In related news, Putin sucks bilge water.

How ironic it is that Putin supplies weapons to every terrorist state in the world then feigns surprise when they use them for something besides defense against an invading aggressor.

So he is having an impression? He is impressionable? Strange for a kegebun. The only way for such to get an impression is after a collision with a heavy blunt object.

Among other things, Israel is in the process of reducing the chance that her soldiers will be captured in the future.

I'm trying out my new tag line on you. You don't suppose we're in for the 1980's all over again re: Israel taking out Iran's nukes so we don;t have to--as well as playing "Payback is Hell" for the folks who bombed our troops?!

I have lots of fond memories of the 80's myself..."Mr. Gorbachev-taer down this wall!"

I think I am just going to have to find a way to autopost this image with all of these Israeli threads.

"...Putin has impression Israel pursuing wider goals than return of abducted soldiers..."

Yeah, no duh.

How about the Israeli goal of putting an end to terrorist attacks on Israeli citizens from adjacent territories for starters?
