US: Israel Must Do Whatever Necessary to Protect Itself
Arutz Sheva - IsraelNationalnews ^ | 7/12/6

Posted on 07/12/2006 8:15:33 AM PDT by SmithL

The Bush administration said Wednesday afternoon that “Israel must do whatever necessary to protect itself.”

The terse response came in the wake of an IDF incursion into south Lebanon following multiple attacks by Hizbullah terrorists on northern Israeli communities and soldiers. Two soldiers were kidnapped and three were killed in the early morning attacks.

The 'proverbial' sh!t is about to hit the fan for Hamas.
Time to un occupy the territories, of weapons and militants, and if the Palestinians don't like it, move them out too. They elected Hamas.........
Lay fault where fault lies.

While we're at it, the US should hit the missile and nuke sites in Iran and North Korea.

Most likely the full quote, from Scott McCormick, with the standard disclaimer.

"We're working towards -- and the states in the region are working towards – gaining his release. Israel. . . .certainly has the right to defend itself. We have called upon Israel to avoid any civilian casualties that it possibly can in its activities."

The Palestinian Authority has "certain internationally recognized responsibilities to stop terror and to dismantle terrorist networks," says State department spokesman Sean McCormack. The U.S. "call[s] upon them to do so."

It sounds like it came directly from the administration. Perhaps in response to Annan condemning Israel for blowing up three bridges in Lebanon to prevent the terrorists from moving the kidnapped soldiers?

Israel needs to continue the push forward. They have a history of exchanging captives for prisoners at a rate of 1:200.


Israel should turn it around.

That if in 48 hours the troops are not returned, 600 prisoners will be executed. (200:1 the other way around)

The Palestinians ARE Hamas. They proved that in the last election.

They should all be airlifted above Mecca and Medina and parachuted down there during Ramadan.

Agreed. Probably because I read too much European history at times, I sometimes think we can compare now to about 1936-7.

Anyway, prayers up for the IDF and the people of Israel.

Israel's being played.

I don't see it. It may have seemed like a cute idea, but I'm quite sure they didn't expect what came next. And they might have gotten together a bit, but the caused the scales to fall from the eyes of a lot of Israeli moderates.

Is this the flashpoint for an all-out world conflict (dare I say WW-III)?

Not that I would EVER advocate violence, but sometimes seeing the tension build year after year like a volcano makes some want for the Top To Blow Friggin' OFF!

Looks like the usual Defartment of state shuck and jive, right on schedule.

Sabramerican, for your pool, I'd say DOS will publicly use the word "restraint" long before Saturday; I'd say 85% likely within the next 36 hours, so say Thursday evening. Mid-day Friday tops. If I'm wrong, may Hillary have to say something nice in public about Tom Tancredo!

And the Iranian president traveling lately is but a mere smokescreen.

He may be shoring up his "alliances". State visits are more important for him than us. He needs to talk to his cronies face to face for fear we're intercepting his over the air communications.

It wouldn't be happening without support from SYRIA.

Time to TAKE OUT SYRIA N O W!!!!

Put our troops back on the offensive and leave the IED and bullet magnet patrols to the Iraqis
