Scratch one raghead terrorist.

One by one and pretty soon you have a dozen. Then you've got something to build on.

Two wounded in blast at West Bank checkpoint

Two people were wounded when an explosion went off Thursday near an Israeli army checkpoint in the Tulkarem area of the northern West Bank, military sources said.

"There has been an explosion near a checkpoint in the Tulkarem area," the sources said without giving details of the cause of the blast.

Israel has been fearing a major increase in militant violence in the build-up to next month's Palestinian parliamentary elections.

Sharon's move was not appeasement. It was a military decision....and the right one to allow for more effective reprisals.

Somehow, the term "reprisals" conjures up horrible images in my mind: a tit-for-tat vengeance diplomacy, usually carried out against Partizans and civilians by the Bad Guys...

If that is sum-and-total of Sharon's military strategy, then with due respect he has learned nothing from the past century's History.

As Santayana said...

According to JPost it was two suicide bombers that blew themselves up killing one other person and injuring a couple of others - both Israelis and Arabs.

Two Suicide Bombers Approached Israeli Vehicle
10:11 Dec 29, '05 / 28 Kislev 5766

(IsraelNN.com) According to eyewitness reports from Samaria, south of Palestinian Authority (PA) controlled Tulkarem, two suicide bombers approached a spontaneous IDF inspection point and blew themselves up next to an Israeli vehicle.

Officials are confirming one Israeli has been killed. EMS personnel operating on the scene report two other Israelis sustained moderate injuries and are being prepared for transport to a hospital.

PA sources reporting an unspecified number of Arabs have been injured as well. No terror organization is claiming responsibility for the attack at this time. Both bombers were killed in the blast.

What is holding on to America doing for Americans except killing soldiers?

It seems that holding on is all that is left when your nation is "as small as some Texas driveways". To quote Bush.

I would say get a clue, but one is coming to get you already.

Since the surrender of Gaza it has become a daily Artillery barrage. Bus bombs have started back up, Al Queda has moved in and Hamas has taken over. Bombs are landing next to the chemical plants and power plants and oil storage areas for Israel. Our only hope is that when (not if) the Palestinians blow up these factories that the wind is blowing south and the pollution kills them. The IDF is certainly doing nothing, because there have been NO "reprisals". The Jews are simply GONE from that area. Before the pullout the Army was in place and could arrest the shooters or intervene to stop it, since the surrender the Army is not in place.

Try Reality, you might like it, even if it interrupts your fantasy world. Some people were foolish enough to believe that lie before the surrender, but you got to be down right insane to still believe it when FACT bites you in the arse.
