Rice to Israel: ‘Show Restraint’
Arutz 7 ^ | June 29, 2006 | Staff

Posted on 06/29/2006 9:23:08 AM PDT by Nachum

(IsraelNN.com) United States Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice joined the G8 industrialized nations group in calling for restraint by IDF forces that entered Gaza to rescue a soldier who was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on Sunday.

Rice added that diplomatic officials continue to work toward obtaining the release of 19-year-old Corporal Gilad Shalit, who was taken hostage during the raid on an IDF outpost near the Kerem Shalom border crossing. Two soldiers were killed and four others wounded in the attack.

Shalit’s whereabouts are unknown and his captors refuse to return him.

"It got very, very messy on 911. Sadly your sentiment represents the majority of the American public. They don't feel that we are really in a war. Remember all the talk about you're either with us or against us? Remember if you sponsor, harbor or financially support terrorists that you would be treated as a terrorist? Well it's past time for us to put up or shut the hell up. Our statement of support for Israel needs to be said just as boldly as the "with us or against us" statement. Not by some weasel back channel support statement. They're our ally and they have been attacked. We should stand with them."

Well said! I wish someone like you was Secretary of State!

I know. You're right of course. I just wish for once someone in the political arena would do away with the diplomacy for the masses bit and just tell it like it is. Wishful thinking on my part. Someone doesn't have to say "Kill Em All". Just come out and give them approval without all the pussyfooting around.

Looks like the pod-creatures at State managed to replace Rice with their own creation. Either that or State's got better brainwashing techniques than the CIA.

Frankly, I've had it with Rice. The State Department has ruined her. I knew she wasn't tough enough to clean it up

Once again - these aren't Rice's personal opinions. She is speaking as a representative of and with the full authority of the administration. In other words, Rice says what the Prez wants her to say.

"Restraint" my ass. The Palies......hell, all of Islam, has been shown FAR too much "restraint"; look where it's gotten us.

No, Israel, you go in and kick serious butt. Overkill. Overwhelming force. Make it hurt..........bad.

This is all these scum understand, and that's just a fact.

"Should a chief executive have subordinates making significant policy decisions with which he disagrees?"

Of course not.

I think Goss is a stronger person than Rice---or maybe just more committed to what he believes in---or may be it's just that he believes in the same things I believe in and Rice has somehow been faking it.

Exactly. Israel cannot protect herself? Why not? We've gone to Afghanistan and Iraq to do the same and those countries aren't even on our borders.

IMO, Israel can blow the Gaza strip into 1948.

In this case---I agree with you. But Rice has been all around the world saying all kinds of things lately---most of which I have not liked. I don't believe the President formulated most of the statements were closely controlled what was said (in less important circumstances that today).

Come on, Condi--like 'restraint' is going to pay off with those nut-cases!! (rolling--eyes) ^5 to Israel!

'Islamo-nut-cases' don't understand restraint--in fact, the only thing that restraint buys from them--is more resentment and lunatic behavior.

I hope Israel cleans house over there. How about some restraint from the 'Islamo-nut-case' side, for a change?
