way to go sharon...........BRAVO!!!

[Askel5]

and both agreed Israel and Russia would cooperate fully

Interesting, the bedfellows confected of Fate and Mistakes.

[gfactor]

come on everyone join the chorus.."you're with us or you're with the terrorists."

Funny that israel would take such a long path to be an "official" terrorist state.

[livius]

Meaning what? We fund their entire state.

[america-rules]

Didn't Sharon just a few days ago say he supported a state for Arafrat and his thugs?

[hoyaloya]

What are you trying to say? It seems so straightforward . . . but I'm a little perplexed if that's what you mean.

But Sharon said: "All our efforts to reach a ceasefire have been torpedoed by the Palestinians. The fire did not cease, not even for one day.
"The (security) cabinet has therefore instructed our security forces to take all necessary measures to bring full security to the citizens of Israel," he said, referring to orders issued on Wednesday.

Bravo!! Israel won't be enticed to take scud hits without retaliation this time around.

Awesome he is thinking of his people not what the "world" thinks.

[ChocChipCookie]

I have to wonder how the situation in Israel might be different had Netanyahu remained as Prime Minister. He strikes me as having a realistic view of the struggle there with the Palestinians without being overly hawkish or willing to roll over and give ANYTHING for "peace" a la Barak.

I pray that the Clintonites who led Barak's political campaign to victory, and Bill Clinton who sent them, will pay and pay and pay for their role in what we see happening now.

Worrying about world reaction as opposed to doing the right thing is a recipe for disaster. The world hates Israel. There is no suit that can undo that.

[Cachelot]

Israelis, he said, "have only ourselves to rely on, and as of today, we will only rely on ourselves".

Good. At least someone will be hunting terrorists, instead of sucking up to them :)).

[CommiesOut]

I want to see our friend G. Will. Ping me if you spot him on a tube, please.

Sharon says Israel won't roll over for U.S.

Good job, at least Israel is showing some sack. We sure aren't. It's been 3 weeks since we've been attacked and we haven't bombed so much as a storage shed. But Iran, Pakistan, and the Palestinian thugs are our friends now. Yippee!! Our "war on terrorists" has become a love-fest with the very states that are financing terrorism.

Thanks for rolling over and pandering to the very people that hate us the most, GW. The only thing to do now is to wait for the invasion from Russia and China now that we have shown them just how naive, stupid, and weak we really are.

It's amazing, as much as the U.S. government is desperately trying to fight a war and keep a lid on it at the same time, the numerous and disparate events of the past few days continue to conspire to blow this into a general conflagration.

I feel for our national leaders, because they so desperately don't want this thing getting totally out of control...and that's getting hard.

I'm sure the sense is that unless they keep this thing tightly wrapped, that it won't end with the very big weapons flying.

[MississippiMan]

Amen! If I were in his position, I'd tell us where to stick the "coalition," as well. A coalition that includes countries that we know dang well support terrorism is pure nonsense to the Nth degree if you ask me. Heck, it is even if you don't ask me. ;-)

"With" in the last sentence should be "without"

Pretty lame to have to reply to yourself....
