And what does Kofi Annan call the 800 or so quasam missles fired on Israel since Jan 1 ? I hardly call Israel use of force to put a stop to that "dissapropriate".

Kofi and his arab pals can suck lemons.

Gees...they're cowards!!! And...these idiots are killing each other in the midst of all this....unbelievable......

From World Tribune.Com........

"The Palestinian Authority has gone underground as Israeli forces have advanced 12 kilometers through the northern Gaza Strip."

"Palestinian sources said the Hamas-led government has disappeared over the last two days."

"You won't find one Hamas minister either at home or in his office," a source said."

Further down:

"Despite the Israeli invasion, the militia war continued in the Gaza Strip. On July 5, Hussein Ahmad Mustafa Abu Ajwa, regarded as a leading figure in Hamas, was shot and killed by unidentified gunmen who drove in a car with PA government license plates."

"They almost certainly counted on non-stop international coverage, when they hatched this plan. Alas, international media is busy covering Chia Head. Without international media, they are as good as dead."

What is it about despotic governments and their ceaseless sick penchant for the rotten Kabuki of 24/7 cable coverage?

As far as I'm concerned all Palestinians are cockaroaches and there is only ONE way to get rid of them. You bomb and bomb until you don't see them anymore.

I don't have one shred of compassion for the Palestinians. I don't believe the world needs a group of people that have so little regard for life. Even animals protect their young, the Palestinians however teach their children to hate and kill. Civilized people love their children, have hope for their childens future. Civilized people tuck their children to bed, read Goodnight Moon, the Palestinians read Grow Up and Be a Martyr and Kill the Jews. It isn't about oppression, it's about pure hate and it starts at birth.

Abbas urged the world to stop Israel's "inhumane aggression" to give mediators a chance to free the soldier, whose capture ignited the escalation 12 days ago.

Umm, they've had 12 days. Sorry, fools, you brought this on yourselves. Release the lad and beg for mercy, it's your only hope now.

THEN, a mighty important, primal, relevant, life-saving idea.

President Bush(2001):

“You’re either on our side or the terrorists’ side”.

Now: Idea (and ideals) lost to siding with terrorists.

Napalm.....

Not bad, but cluster munitions are generally more effective.
