From the news accounts that I've been reading, the authorities seem to be treating this as just another shooting by someone with a criminal background. This is a muslim specifically targeting jews. If this isn't a hate crime/terrorism I don't know what is.
Excellent analysis as usual, 'Zilla. Do these new missiles have the range and accuracy to hit Tel Aviv or Jerusalem? If they manage to strike those areas what do you forsee as the IDF reactions?
Also, what do you make of the apparent schism between MOSSAD and the Military Intelligence apparatus? MOSSAD says that Hezbollah has not been significantly degraded, while the military insists that the terrorist infrastructure has been greatly impacted by ground and air operations...that perhaps as much as 50% of the organization has been taken out. What do you see as the potential political fallout inside the government if this squabble continues? Will it impact operations? Myself, I tend to believe MOSSAD. I figure the military is engaging in classic CYA rhetoric. If MOSSAD is correct, then any expansion on the ground is bound to get a whole lot bloodier.
Final question: Do the Israeli people have the stomach to go the distance. This has the potential of being much bigger than any of the conflicts in the '60's or at any other time since 1948. Especially if Iran and Syria decide to play, too.
uuunngh. see #1858
note to self: start hoarding firewood.
Time to get a bicycle too. Sigh.
No one likes to think the unthinkable. So this didn't get much play.
There are very good reasons why the Israelis are exercising "restraint".
Re: Seattle shooting...
Have they said:
"no links to terrorism" already?
Sheesh.
The statement by the Royal Court cinches it.
"It" has begun.
I can't imagine how much worse it got with MS-13 there!
Kudos to RPD!
I agree with you freeperfromnj.
I agree.
That statement was more interesting than a double-shot cappucino.
Yeah, like a Jolt Cola.
Royal (squeezeplay) Cola.
Yep, hand sanitizer just won't work on most of those items.
The goal is to roll a 6, 5 and 4 in these three rolls.
Yet another ship "rolled" per today's news - it appears a shipload of Mazdas may be the object of this "roll."
Isn't that interesting?
I wonder if the vehicles will become a manmade reef.
Thank you for the Summary. Cheering on the Israelis for not letting the prevalent world PC behavior parameters dictate or affect preparation and planning for protection of their population. I give them lots of credit for sticking to their guns (literally). El Al is the example that sets them apart and ahead of their contemporaries.
