What no special committee meetings to decide how to respond? No public hearings? No press conferences? Just swift retribution? How novel!
This sure seems to coincide with the Gaza pullout.
I wonder if the pull out was a signal to all terrorist to start their attacks. Might be a good time to be a little more observant in America .
Al Qaeda claiming responsibility for attacks
AL QAEDA CLAIM FOR RED SEA ATTACKS
Friday, August 19, 2005; Posted: 9:35 a.m. EDT (13:35 GMT)
(CNN) -- An al Qaeda-linked group has claimed responsibility for rocket attacks Friday that targeted but missed two U.S. military ships in the Jordanian Red Sea port of Aqaba.
The three Katyusha rockets hit a warehouse and a hospital in Aqaba, killing a Jordanian soldier, and struck the nearby Israeli port city of Eilat.
A second Jordanian soldier was severely wounded. No U.S. military personnel were injured.
"Zionists are our rightful target," according to the statement signed by al Qaeda in Levant and Egypt, the Martyr Abdallah Azzam Brigades.....

Hit them. Hard. Massive, indiscriminate bombing, with no apologies necessary. To the point that it horrifies the population and other nations around them. I imagine we know where the "summer camps" are. Blast them into oblivion, and if kids are killed too darned bad. Drop government buildings. Crater main streets.
Send a message that is beyond misunderstanding. Then, make it clear that the next time will be worse. The UN may complin. Too bad. Tell them to pound sand.
This was unfortunately totally predictable. Enough.

Ginsberg is wrong. These rockets were used by Lebanon, Syria, Israel, as well as Iran. Right now, the biggest user of these rockets are Hizbollah. So, I seriously doubt Iran would be so stupid to do something so overt when their covert activities receive little repercussion.
He said (paraphrasing) "Mark My Words. With this Gaza forced pullout of Israelis, the next thing that will happen is the terrorists will launch further attacks because they will be emboldened. They attack whenever Israel shows some withdrawl; the intent is that they will behave when Israel gives. But watch. They'll attack as a result of appeasement, it's only a matter of time!""
Wow, he was on target by about a day or two away.
Israel needs to retaliate and soon. I am so angry with Sharon for dividing Israel. He is in deep doo. God is not happy. This could be the beginning of more terror in Israel.
I think the rocket hit a warehouse instead of the boat.
Next the West Bank and then Jerusalem. When that happens, hold on to your hats because Armageddon can't be far off. Somewhere in scripture it says that a curse will come upon those who divide Jerusalem. America had better be careful here.
That's right and I'm not one bit happy with either of them on this issue. America needs to leave Israel alone and let her solve her problems her way. Sharon needs to be canned. WHERE is Netanayu?
(IsraelNN.com) MK (Likud) Binyamin Netanyahu following the Friday morning Katyusha rocket attack into Eilat called it a warning.
The former finance minister stated, “This is stern warning of the missiles that will be fired in the coming year-to-two, directed at Israeli cities from terror bases that we have provided for Islamic terrorists in Gaza, as well as in Judea and Samaria.”
Again? These Amish need to be profiled. If I see some guys with "Abraham Lincoln" beards and speaking in Old English I will be watching them very closely. Luckily they are not allowed to use public transportation so we are safe there, but I pity the poor horse and carriage depots.
As the first fruits of Israel's withdrawal from Gaza, peace now reigns - just as predicted by every Jew-hating progressive, paleocon, and Arab.
" After the IDF tanks?"
Please point to a news story which shows Israeli tanks in Gaza City.
Stop making stuff up, mmkay, pali-terrorist-lover?
