Defence Minister Ehud Barak: Israel in 'all-out war against Hamas'
The Hong Kong Standard / Agence France-Presse ^ | December 29, 2008

Posted on 12/29/2008 12:27:06 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Defence Minister Ehud Barak said Israel is in an ''all-out war against Hamas.''

He added: ''We have nothing against Gaza residents, but we are engaged in an all-out war against Hamas and its proxies.

''This operation will expand and deepen as much as needed. We went to war to deal a heavy blow to Hamas.

Barak recalled a conversation with Barack Obama during the US President-elect's June visit to Sderot city, which is regularly targeted by Gaza militants.

He quoted Obama as saying, ''had anyone fired rockets against my home while my two daughters were sleeping I would have done everything to stop him.

''That is what Obama said and that is what we are doing.''

Are two Bara(c)ks better than one?

I hope the IDF tears Hamas from limb to limb.

And I just saw a CNN moral relitavist have a PLO lawyer on giving the Hamas side of the story. CNN should be booted out of the country and all reporters citizenship revoked. Let them be the UN citizens they see themselves as. Its all Israels fault she said. And the rocets have no bombs on them she said. GRRRR! And the little twerp let her get away with it.

That will drive the drive-bys crazy. Just as they are getting in good pictures of dead kids from the terrorists they work with their Messiah says something like that.

Now Obama knows that his words can be translated into life and death by friend and foe. That it isn't all about him anymore in saying what is expedient or what is popular, that there's real consequences for real people.

No, they’re just Estes model rockets that the Palistinian kids use for science class ... launching gerbils and eggs into space. All a big misunderstanding, I’m sure...

Yes. They will let Israel take out the population of radical homicides in their midst, then blame them for genocide, and continue with their own brand of more subtle encroachment on western civilization.

She has a law degree? How did she get that? Was she allowed to go to school? Did she have a male relative with her when she talked with the interviewer? If not, she needs to be stoned to death for her brazen behavior.

Just like the war to end all wars..against Hezbollah, in Lebanon. Please, give it a rest. Hamas will come out of this just fine, and we all know it.
