The CIA trained the Palestinian Intelegence Services in the art of sniping as part of Clintoons Peace deal. I never understood how sniping could viewed as peace making. Obviously Clintoon has a different meaning for the word "peace" and trained the Arabs in it.
Or possibly "Land for Peace"
ala, Adolph Hitler?
Didn't Czechoslovakia give up militarily advantagous land to Hitler in an effort to avoid war? And they justified it because England and France promised to help them should Hitler invade?
Important land, like the Golan Heights?
Ive noticed that all the jerks on this forum usually are Islam and Palestinian apologists.
Why do you think the EU is sinking 50 million a month into the Fight? For Jollies? Arafat could not continue this intifadda without the EU's help.
This is a marked change in tactics. The method to date has been a bomb or blazing away with an AK-47 on a street corner until gunned down. Could be bad news for checkpoints. It might be best to fold up shop and go home.
The AK is a good short range weapon...Be it city, or dense a veggie ambush... give a fighter a good .308-.338...and well, your right.
Indeed! Of course you know that home is on both sides of the checkpoint... END THE ARAB OCCUPATION NOW! -GRIN-
I knew I didn't dream that a U.S. agency had trained Palestinian snipers. CIA?
Clearly, Sharon is holding back. Clearly, he will not hold back forever. Clearly, when he strikes that will be the end of Arafat and every member of the Palestinian police and every member of the Palestinian terrorist groups. Although the Palestinians have improved their fighting ability recently, there are utterly overmatched by Israel when Israel takes the gloves off. The Palestinians (and Muslim militants in general) are DELUSIONAL, which ultimately leads to defeat in any war.
There are several possible reasons that Sharon may be holding back, but given Bush's commitment to the war on terror and the insane determination of the Palestinians to cast their lot with Al-Qaeda, and given the lack of recent public friction between Sharon and Bush or between Sharon and his domestic opposition, it is clear that Bush WILL give Sharon the go-ahead at some point and it will all be over in a few days.
What is causing the delay is probably the preparation of a plan to deal with the other Arab countries. They need to be persuaded that it would be suicidal to attack Israel; the rulers of Syria, Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia can probably be persuaded to sit on their hands while Israel annihilates the Palestinian fighting capability.
That leaves three wild cards: Iran, Iraq, and WMDs. Iran and Iraq will be handled by making it clear to the armies of those countries that when the shooting starts that they will have the choice between obeying their demented leaders and dying, or deposing them.
As for WMDs, if the Arabs have them they will eventually use them, we can not afford to be deterred by WMDs. We and Israel will get our civil defense at the highest level of readiness, then Sharon will unleash the army against the Palestinians, and if they launch their WMDs they will not win, and it will still be better than giving them time to prepare more and deadlier WMDs.
Truly prophetic I fear...
overlooking a military checkpoint in the West Bank shot dead seven Israeli soldiers and three Jewish settlers"
This was just one guy! The Saudi's want Israel to give up the Golan Heights. Imagine how many Jews they could kill if the palestinian terrorists controlled the heights... So much for their "peace plan".
