Did you tell them where to stick them?

The Fatah terrorist faction has claimed the capability of chemical and biological weapons and has threatened Israel with a WMD attack, according to the Jerusalem Post. Leaflets distributed in the Gaza Strip state that the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade has spent the last three years developing the capabilty, the start of which seems oddly coincidental to the fall of Saddam Hussein (via Reliapundit):
The Aksa Martyrs' Brigades group announced on Sunday that it its members have succeeded in manufacturing chemical and biological weapons to be used against Israel.In a leaflet distributed in the Gaza Strip, the group, which belongs to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah party, said the weapons were the result of an effort that has lasted for three years.
The statment was a response to an Israeli Security Cabinet decision to give the IDF the green light to prepare all the forces necessary for a military operation against Gaza terror cells. As of 9:00 p.m. large amounts of Golani and Givati Brigade infantry troops were amassing on the Israeli side of the Gaza security fence.
According to the statement, the first of its kind, the group managed to manufacture and develop at least 20 different types of biological and chemical weapons.
The group said its members would not hesitate to add the new weapons to long-range rockets that are being fired at Israeli communities almost every day. It also threatened to use the weapons against IDF soldiers if Israel carried out its threats to invade the Gaza Strip.
If they're bluffing, they're making a very big mistake. And if they're not bluffing, then they have just signed the death warrants of both Hamas and Fatah and quite possibly the Palestinian Authority.
If these terrorists have acquired chemical and biological weapons, the IDF will rightly assume that they know have a choice only between which genocide will succeed. Given their history and strong sense of survival, they will certainly make the right choice -- and that will mean the end of the Palestinians on the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The only reason the Israelis don't push them into the Jordan and Egypt is because of their identification with Western values that rejects ethnic cleansing as any solution.
Once the first chemical or biological weapon gets launched against Israel, that decision will have been taken out of their hands. The Israelis will almost certainly launch a massive strike against the Palestinians in both directions -- and while Hamas and Fatah do moderately well at targeting unarmed civilians, the IDF will slice through them like butter. And if the Palestinians expect the West to stop them, they will have miscalculated badly.
The question will be where they acquired these weapons. They do not have the research facilities to have developed WMD on their own. If they actually do possess them, it seems a probablility that someone supplied Fatah with WMD.
Who has WMD? What country stocked them, until three years ago? And where does Hamas and Islamic Jihad, at least, have themselves established? Syria -- who has long rumored to have received the Iraqi stockpiles in 2002 and 2003, just ahead of the American invasion.
The Palestinians have just tipped us off to where the WMD went, and now we know where at least some it may have ended up. The Israelis may not be alone in marching through Gaza and the West Bank.
The Palestinians have escalated their continuous attacks on Israel from Gaza, which no longer qualifies as occupied territory, by raiding Israel. 'Militants' crossed over into Israel using tunnels, killed two soldiers and apparently kidnapped another, before crossing back into Gaza:
Palestinian militants launched on Sunday their first deadly raid into Israel from Gaza since an Israeli pullout last year, killing two soldiers and abducting another in an assault in which two attackers died.The infiltration, through a tunnel militants dug under the Gaza border fence to reach an army post, raised tensions along the frontier to their highest point since Israel completed its withdrawal last September after 38 years of occupation.
Israeli forces scrambled into the Gaza Strip to search for the missing soldier, who the army said had been kidnapped. There was no immediate claim from any of the militant groups that took part in the dawn raid that they were holding him.
A strong Israeli military response to the assault, claimed by the armed wing of the governing Hamas group and the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) after recent air strikes that killed 14 Palestinian civilians, seemed likely.
The Israelis have fired missiles into Gaza in response to missile attacks by Islamic Jihad that started almost immediately after the Israelis withdrew from Gaza. The Palestinian Authority has refused to take any action to stop the rocket attacks by the Islamist terrorists, and Israel shortly afterwards started returning the fire.
Now that the Palestinians have escalated the conflict by invading Israel, we can surely expect a response in force by Israel. Their withdrawal from Gaza makes the invasion an act of war, although Israel will not likely try to invest Gaza again. What they will likely do is stage a raid in force by the IDF to clear out the region where the attacks originate and create a buffer area that they can patrol for long enough to make their point. They will also escalate their targeted attacks on terrorist leadership, including that of Hamas.
This will undermine both sides in the pending Palestinian civil war. Ismael Haniyeh will find himself having to go underground to avoid Israeli attacks, especially if their kidnapped soldier turns up dead. Abbas' efforts to return to negotiations will have to wait for the Israeli military response to reach its conclusion, and that may take a while. The best Abbas can expect will be a quick raid that might capture some of the rocket-launching terrorists, removing a headache for Fatah. Otherwise, both factions will find it difficult to reach any kind of understanding on proceeding with peace talks, and that will push them towards civil war. Sunday, June 25, 2006
They certainly are going nuts at an exponential rate lately, aren't they?
Just goes to show you how stupid these people are. Anyone here want to venture a guess whether Israel is going to take a chance they are bluffing? They can be relegated to "toast" in short order. The sooner the better.
It may be 2+2 logic. If the Syrians took them out of Iraq and put them in the Bakka valley in Lebanon, they would be available, without restriction to the clients of Syria.
Scary scenario developing. Israel attacked with WMDs, Sarin gas or some other nasty substance. 100’s or 1000’s of casualties. Israeli F-15 with 500lb bombs start regular non-specific targeted bombing sorties into the West Bank and Gaza. Israeli self propelled guns start constant shelling of Palestinian areas. The willing satanic worshipping press starts showing dead Palestinian women and children and their various body parts. Islamic counties starting with Iran and Syria declare war on Israel. Knowing the Muslim mindset as the Israelis do, Iran and Syria threaten action but know better. Oil 300 bucks a barrel, the West pleading with Israel to take a pause. Israel finally finishing the 1967 and 1973 war, claiming the Golan, all of Jerusalem, West Bank and Gaza as Israel proper. The Israel prime minister goes on TV quoting Isaiah and the Book of Daniel and warns the Muslim world that God allows Islam to be practiced at the behest of his chosen people, and that the 1 billion Muslims worldwide better understand that fact or become on of the dozens of failed religions, movements, philosophies and nation states to confront Israel and be relegated to the ash heap of history.
Did you tell them where to stick them?
If old chemical weapons are so harmless, why all the uproar and trouble we have gone to at the Annison Army Depot in Alabama to incinerate old chemical weapons???
It is impossible to be as ignorant as democRats seem to be as indicated by their idiotic opinions, inconsistencies and hypocrisy. So they must just all be EVIL.
If you're not praying in the front row at the mosque, the view is always the same.
I agree. It doesn't fit their agenda to be accurate. Just mud-sling.
LOL.....good one!
Typical.
Iraq to Syria (via the Russians), then pilfered and used by Hizbullah / Hamas via Iran.
Count on the MSM and UN to put a stop to this /sarc...
But..but...but...I thought ..
:)
Even at the front their still praying to muuuuhamhead (Pigs be inseminating him)! He's so old he _____s dust!
And muuuuhhamhead himself prays to satans koranus, so actually no matter where they pray the view is the same, as are the results of their prayers!
I think I read an article here at FR just last Friday deatiling the continued threat posed by unexploded munitions and mustard gas shells from WWI's Belgian battlefields. There's a steady stream of UXB being disposed of by Belgian bomb-disposal units, and some 300(?)
deaths a year from ammo used 88 years ago!
This is the first I've heard of this; I wonder if they came from Hussein? Since he was paying suicide bomber families $25,000, maybe he was more sympatico with them than the CIA knew. But most freepers wouldn't be terribly surprised if they really do have WMD and they came from Iraq.
Prairie - I thought you'd be interested in this.
This makes more sense to me than a lot of other theories I've heard..
I think we have made a new medical discovery: extreme liberalism and Bush-hating leads to condition known as BRAIN DEATH.
Personally, I believe everything that is written on leaflets distributed by random people on the streets of Gaza!
