Tension is mounting as Israel comes to grips with the new reality of Islamist Egypt.
On Thursday, a team of 15 to 20 armed al-Qaeda terrorists (members of the Palestinian Popular Committees, an al-Qaeda affiliate) snaked through tunnels from Gaza to Sinai. From there, they hiked 200 kilometers over land, either ignored or facilitated by Egyptian army forces. They were thus able to sneak into Israel through the porous border at Eilat — porous because Israel has not needed to worry much about its Egyptian border for the last 30 years.
At around noon, the terrorists took up positions along the highway and opened fire at buses and cars. One detonated a suicide belt. In all, eight Israelis were killed and 30 more wounded. The terrorists shot to death a family of four who were just out driving in their car — father, mother, and their 6- and 4-year-old kids (“resistance” against the “occupiers,” as Islamists like to say). Barry Rubin counts this as al-Qaeda’s first successful terrorist attack against Israel.
From here, the story gets more frightful. Israeli police and defense forces killed several of the terrorists. They pursued at least two of the terrorists into Egyptian territory. At that point, some Egyptian soldiers either joined in the firefight or got caught in it accidentally — the facts are not yet clear, though a least one eyewitness says a terrorist was firing from an Egyptian army position. Five Egyptian soldiers were killed.

Obama is an idiot.
I think that in some ways is being overly generous.
To me? From my perspective, malicious should fit in there. From his perspective, he is out on jihad, he is the great Ghazi, operating from our White House.
For the world of Islam? He is operating and meeting his/ their plans and objectives. Quite efficiently, having America pay for most of the overheads.
...bastard muslim idiot.
Idiot voters.
I don’t know. I think he actually believes all the Marxist b/s he spews and that makes him a genuine idiot.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction." --RR
... still think you are too generous.
On the global stage he has escalated the war trajectory for the Mid East and its all to the advantage of the MB/ AlQaeda/ Obama /Iran consortium.
I wish America would wake up an recognize he is not working in Americas interest. Obama’s Libya exercise by itself should have been enough in itself. The future from this will be very nasty.
That’s why I blame the Idiots of America for allowing this bastard child to continue.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Worth repeating until your tongue gets numb:
He is operating and meeting his/ their plans and objectives.
I am afraid that majority of "land for peace" traders are not aware of the sheer evil they are facing.
Here is my nightmare scenario.
Check the calendar:
Wednesday, August 30, 2011. Joint MB-AQ operation creates massive atrocity against Israel.
Thursday September 1 Israel is forced to respond. MB-AQ executes false flag operation against Palie targets using WMD and MSM blames Israel.
Friday, September 2 Palies declare independence. MSM Propaganda machine tarnish Israel.Islamic Conference and EU recognize "Palestine". Islamic Conference and EU declare "Palestine" as victim of Israeli "aggression".
Saturday, Sunday is weekend and there is no diplomatic activity in UN. UNSEC meeting sheduled for Monday night.
Monday, September 5 (Anniversary of 1872 Munich massacre) Hell breaks loose. Turkey attacks Syria. Iran gets into the fray.
Dominoes are set in motion. It is too late for UNSEC meeting scheduled for Monday night ME time.
