Sharon: IDF Has Total Political Backing
23:23 Jan 18, '05 / 8 Shevat 5765
(IsraelNN.com) Following a four-hour meeting today with senior IDF Southern District Commanders, the prime minister reiterated the military has the total backing of the government and political community to take whatever actions are necessary to bring an end to shelling attacks against Sderot, western Negev, and Gaza communities.
Israel will do the minimum. Ho hum.
If so thank President Bush and endless American calls for restraint.
You can throw in the rest of the world for that matter.
The whole rest of the world put together doesn't matter one tenth as much as the U.S. matters -- at least to Israel.
