Where's that photo of Fisk after his a$$ was kicked?

You had to figure that Fisk would moan about Sauramon's demise yesterday. Anybody wanna take on the rest of the bilge he's spewing?

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[prion]

So who can be surprised if the rules are broken by the other side?

The other side recognizes rules? What would those be, exactly?

Now all has changed utterly. Anyone who advocates violence - even if they are palpably incapable of committing it - are now on a death list. So who can be surprised if the rules are broken by the other side?

Fisk, you ****le, al Qaeda planned to fly hijacked airliners into the White House and the Capitol. And Saddam tried to asassinate former president Bush in the Nineties.

The started targeting our leadership years ago. But your despot-butt-kissing self conveniently ignores that, doesn't it?

[Betaille]

So let me get this straight. Because Israel showed Yassin mercy 7 years ago... they have no right to defend themselves now?

[Asclepius]

You can kill the men on the street, the bomb-makers and gunmen, but the leadership was allowed to survive.

What a stupid rule. Thank God we abandoned it. You should always begin with the leadership and then work your way down the ranks leaving a trail of freely rolling heads. Decapitation works.

Fisk=Lunatic

[johnfrink]

What the heck is his point? That because Yassin was freed some time ago he should not have been killed now? By that logic once someone is released from prison in the US they should never again be charged with a crime. Even by Fisk's standards this is a horribly incoherent article.

What an ass Fisk is.....

Who the heck cares? This is a war. It's time the rest of the world figured that out. ~Especially the French, before that September ban on Headscarves takes effect.

The top guys are now in the firing line. Let us not say we didn't know.

And the problem with this is what, exactly? Better the top guys in danger, what with their security and so forth, than everyday citizens.

London - It doesn't take an awful lot of courage to murder a paraplegic in a wheelchair.

But it takes all kinds of courage to walk into a restaurant on a holiday,blow yourself up and kill innocent civilians.

[plain talk]

late King Hussein called the US president in fury and threatened to put the captured Mossad men on trial if he wasn't given the antidote to the poison and if Yassin wasn't released.

Who was President then? Clinton? maybe it's all his fault he was released. Not sure. But it sounds good to me.

[RichInOC]

It doesn't take an awful lot of courage to murder a paraplegic in a wheelchair...

...true enough, Bob. Does the name Leon Klinghoffer mean anything to you?

[mylife]

Fisk you ingnorant slut! Yassin was imprisoned and released long before Hamas existed!

[Iron Matron]

So the "head of the snake" was let loose by Israel itself, courtesy of the then Israeli prime minister - a chapter in the narrative of history which was conveniently forgotten yesterday. Which is all very odd.


I dont find it odd. The Isralies are tired of being "fair", of "giving peace a chance". The TERRORISTS blew it.

In the words of Bill Cosby: "I brought you into this world..I can take you out!

[Fun Bob]

"For years, there has been an unwritten rule in the cruel war of government-versus-guerrilla. You can kill the men on the street, the bomb-makers and gunmen, but the leadership was allowed to survive." That is heads of state, not the brains of terror organizations that targets civilians, women, and children. Fisk justified the Afghani's who beat him. I'm sure he would feel it completely justified if someone took him out with a car bomb too. He woulkn't be the only one.

The top guys are now in the firing line. Let us not say we didn't know.

Now the top guys are vulnerable what where the plots to kill George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Pope John Paul II, practical jokes?

And what about the little incident of the plane hitting the Pentagon.

Fisk should be drug out into the street and shot. No jury, outside of Ithaca, would convict.

[Congressman Billybob]

Kisk writes, "It doesn't take a lot of courage to murder a man in a wheelchair." I reply that it doesn't take a lot of integrity to write a Fisk column. Interestingly, Yassin the late head of Hammas, was such an obviously and evil person that even Fisk, of all people, cannot conclude that he deserved any other fate than death.

But then, Fisk wanders off into a tangent of Israel letting this monster get out of an Israeli jail in a critical prisoner swap. And? So? Your point is? Germany let Lenin out of jail and secretly transported him to Russia, thinking (wrongly) that Lenin would screw up Russia so it would no longer be a military concern to Germany.

But since Fisk as zero perspective on current events, it is not surprising that he has no perspective on relevant events in history. Fisk ends with a semi-screed on the possible assassination of national leaders, as if this is new. I suppose he hasn't read about any of the various assassination efforts during WW II -- only one was successful, the shooting down of Admiral Yamamoto's plane.

In every war, each side would willingly assassinate the leaders of the other side, if they could. Ah, but Fisk's level of awareness has not yet reached the point of understanding that we are at war, now, and have been since 9/11. There is nothing new about this. But it comes as a revelation to Fisk, because of his towering ignorance of history.

Did I miss anything?
