I worked that line back in 1947, in the Catskills.

"Everyone in southern Lebanon is a terrorist and is connected to Hezbollah," roared Israeli Justice Minister Haim Ramon on July 27.
"Every village from which a Katyusha is fired must be destroyed," bellowed an Israeli general in a quote bannered by the nation's largest newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth.
The Israeli paper then summarized what the justice minister and general were saying: "In other words, a village from which rockets are fired at Israel will simply be destroyed by fire." That was Thursday.
Sunday, in Qana, 57 of Haim Ramon's "terrorists," 37 of them children, were massacred with precision-guided bombs. Apparently, Katyushas had been fired from Qana, near the destroyed building.
"One who goes to sleep with rockets shouldn't be surprised if he doesn't wake up in the morning," said Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Dan Gillerman.
Today, we hear unctuous statements about how Israel takes pains to avoid civilian casualties, drops leaflets to warn civilians to flee target areas, and conforms to all the rules of civilized warfare.
But Israel's words and deeds contradict her propaganda. As the war began, Ehud Olmert accused Lebanon, which had condemned Hezbollah for the killing and capture of the Israeli soldiers, of an "act of war." Army Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Dan Halutz publicly threatened "to turn back the clock in Lebanon by 20 years."
Gillerman, at a pro-Israel rally in New York, thundered, "[T]o those countries who claim that we are using disproportionate force, I have only this to say: You're damn right we are."
"His comments drew wild applause," said the Jerusalem Post.

The real Buchanan is a daily revelation.
Sounds like he's been drinking with Mel Gibson.
Patti needs to be fitted with a turban.
Oh lay off Pat, after all he lost a relative in the Nazi Concentration Camps. He fell out of his guard tower.
He's still seething that it is 65 or 70 years to late for him to be a grupenfuhrer...
Uh, right. Moral and political high ground is the important thing. Doesn't do all that much good, though, if you are being driven into the sea.
(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em Down Hezbullies.)
"One who goes to sleep with rockets shouldn't be surprised if he doesn't wake up in the morning."Words that should be heeded.
At least Mel Gibson has expressed some regret for the stupid things he said - while drunk.
Pat is still condemning the Poles for attacking that radio station in Gleiwitz.
Buchanan = shill
Yeah, why didn't they just keep the moral high ground they had while they were being murdered in concentration camps? That was working out so well for them.
Go hug a terrorist, Pat
"Oh lay off Pat, after all he lost a relative in the Nazi Concentration Camps. He fell out of his guard tower."
Didn't Imus say that at a D.C. correspondents dinner several years back? In his speech, Imus referred to "Pat's brother, Bay."

Yeah! What's Pat's excuse?
Excellent way of putting it.
