Lord God Almighty! Keep and direct your people! Strengthen their arms, and protect them from all their enemies, within and without. Let them utterly destroy their adversaries so that peace can reign in Your land...Amen!

The Fox news talking idiot just asked the stupidest question I’ve heard in a long time....

To Amb. Pinkis(sp): How can you keep from harming any innocent civilians.

What an imbecile, you can’t and if he doesn’t know that he needs to get a job selling typewriters.

Besides these “civilians” are the ones who put these thugs in power so they’re hardly innocent.

Israeli tank column enters Gaza: witness

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090103/ts_nm/us_palestinians_israel

GAZA (Reuters) – A column of Israeli tanks, some firing their weapons, rolled into the northern Gaza Strip on Saturday, a Palestinian witness said, in what appeared to be the beginning of a ground offensive against Islamist Hamas.

The witness, a resident of the Gaza town of Beit Lahiya, said the column crossed the boundary fence under darkness and was accompanied by Israeli combat helicopters.

The witness could not immediately say how deep the Israelis had penetrated into Palestinian territory.

Unfortunately Israel has said it will be quick incursions....in and out.

Same as before, they want to prevent the deaths of “civilians” who routinely strap on nail bombs to kill Israelis eating their lunch.

Their Ambassador on TV is worried about the “international community” opinions.

Same song and dance.

I’m glad they are doing this now. I have no doubt in my mind that Obozo would try and stop this.

So, the spin of this incursion is that they know they can do it NOW, under the watch of George W, and they CAN’T with the other guy after Obama is sworn in...is this plausible?

IDF is telling Obozo ... you have got a big problem buddy because we are not going to play your game plan. Poor Hillary. Poor Obambi.

What an imbecile,...

Which one? Kelly of Jamie? Neither one is the sharpest knife in the drawer. Jamie's questions sound quite whiney and grate on me. Kelly just talks over any question he asks. Foxnews is headed to the dumps!

"[Bush] administration meanwhile gave Israel free rein over whether to send ground troops into Gaza ...

Israel has to take action now. They won't get any US government support, physically (weapons sales) or morally (pro-Israel government statements like this) after January 19. Don't see Obama saying something like this -- after all he's "a citizen of the world" which generally means the Israeli-haters.
