120 people, including schoolchildren

They'll probably bring in the bodies of the two little girls they killed when their rockets fell short.

Hamas seems pretty cocky lately from what I have been reading on the internet, so my guess is they are pretty well supplied and ready to go.

That's exactly what they said in '56, '67, and '73.

I would be calling for Egyptian re-occupation of Gaza. They’ve been asking for a return to the 1967 borders. I say give it to them. Let’s see how they like being occupied by Egypt again.

Good news:

IAF Destroys Hamas 'Cinema City' Propaganda Studio

IDF planes on Saturday night destroyed Gaza's "Cinema City," a soundstage and production facility used by Hamas to produce anti-Israel propaganda and programs. The facility had been built on the ruins of the yishuv of Ganei Tal in Gush Katif, surrendered by Israel during the disengagement.

Hamas said that the Israeli Air Force raids earlier Saturday had destroyed most of its organizational installations, Israel Radio reported.

There is very little ammo and no “black guns” left for sale in America... 99% of dealers and manufacturers are “sold out”. We are prepared.

That's OK, Allegra prefers the .357 wheelgun anyway. Although she will "make do" with an M9 9mm Beretta.

or an AK-47, the real ones, if necessary.

Or if it comes to that, a dagger.

I think it's fair to say:

She's Ready

I believe the “Perfect Storm” is beginning.

Beginning yes. Watch for a peace plan from O-boy concerning Israel. Then watch 3 & 1/2 years for him to renig on the treaty. Then the big one. Pray up folks.

ARTICLE SNIPEPT: “Iran will send its first ship carrying aid today to the Gaza Strip despite an Israeli naval blockade of the Hamas-controlled territory, state television reported.”

Oh good, the Israeli Dolphins need some live fire practice.

Every time I see these attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah against Israel, I am reminded of my conversations with one of my students from 2006...

Daniel Brass, co-chairman of the Israeli Shooting Instructors Association, was one of my students at the Annual Training Conference conducted in 2006 by the International Association of Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors. The location was Palm Beach County, Florida.

I had trained with IDF personnel previously, but these circumstances were different and we had more time for casual conversation. We spoke of many things, including the giving up of sections of Gaza by Israel as a concession toward peace. It was my opinion that the giving up of any land would make no difference - Daniel concurred. And when I asked why Israel would do such a thing, he said "Some Americans won't like hearing this, but it is what I (Daniel) believe to be true: The concession was made under pressure from the U.S. via Condoleeza Rice. Israel understands that its only real friend is the U.S., and that it has to do some things that it really shouldn't just to maintain the relationship with the U.S." In that same conversation, Daniel made this statement that I believe to be the hard, cold, facts that many people in this country can't comprehend: "These terrorist organizations, be they Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Quaeda, etc, only understand one thing - brute force. There is no negotiation with them, as they view someones willingness to negotiate as a sign of weakness. The terrorist organizations view it as 'If they come to us to negotiate, we must have leverage over them of which we are unaware - therefore, we must talk to our enemy to make them think we are open to negotiation, while we prepare to assault them even harder than before, with hope of exploiting the weakness that we do not currently see'."

Although I had never been in favor of negotiation with any terrorist, I had never heard it put quite this way... And ever since Daniel made that statement, I have watched world situations involving Islamic connected terrorism from a different viewpoint. So far, Daniel's statement has held true.

Just weeks after Daniel, his wife, and adorable little girl returned to Israel from the training conference, the 2006 rocket attacks on Israel started raining down out of Lebanon. They were located in Tel Aviv, and were okay...

It is my personal believe that we only prolong the inevitable when we continue to try and "negotiate" a peace over there. I know this will sound ruthless, but I think we need to let Israel "take care of business" and stand beside them. Folks will say "oh, but look at the number of lives lost!" My response would be "Yes, but once the conflict is resolved, the deaths stop. Look back at history - many lives (of Japanese - remember them, the ones that launched the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor?) were lost when we dropped the bombs on Japan at the end of WWII. But many, many more lives (of American service personnel) would have been lost had we been forced to invade the Japanese main land. The same concept applies. Take care of the aggressors (the terrorists, in todays conflicts) with the weapons you have at hand and be done with it. Expect no mercy, and give none. That is what ends wars, not negotiations with terrorist.

Regards,
Raven6

This is what the world will reap with Zionist foreign national Emmanuel as Barky’s chief pitbull. Also the false flag attacks in India. Plus this is all deception anyway, watch this port area in Pakistan (and also the meaning of this for Iran, which I speak briefly of below)

http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2008%5C12%5C23%5Cstory_23-12-2008_pg3_1

USA under Barky/Zbig is going to pound Pakistan to prevent their hooking up an oil pipeline from that port with China, that port would bypass the Anglo-American Alliance’s control over much of the oil/gas flows in the area.

Plus we let Israel pound Gaza because we will not let them go after Iran, because just like last time (with Gates-who is now a hold-over from Bush, but was Zbigniew Brzezinski’s henchman under Carter) and Zbigniew himself calling shots, we will make a deal with Iran to lay off if they scrap with Russia in Caspian.

USA, with exact same crew, brought Ayatollah Khomeini to power, sent all the weapons we had sold to the Shah, and even set up the hostages, to give cover to the deal (ie. “we HAD to send The Iranians weapons, to free the hostages”) remember this was Gates and Brzezinski in power 30 years ago, and now, in fact Gates is the guy who started Al Quaeda, to aid Afghanistan against USSRThat was true Iran. Contra, not the stooge Ollie North.
