Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (news - web sites) said Tuesday that Israel's military offensive in the West Bank would continue until Palestinian militias have been crushed.

Sharon, who has been under growing U.S. pressure to withdraw troops from Palestinian cities, spoke after receiving word that 13 Israeli soldiers were killed in fighting in the West Bank refugee camp of Jenin on Tuesday.

"It was a tough campaign, a campaign that we are continuing ... until we will fulfill the decision of the Cabinet that calls for the destruction of the infrastructure of the terror groups," Sharon said in remarks broadcast on Israel Television.

"This is a battle for the survival of the Jewish people, for survival of the state of Israel," Sharon said.

As was pointed out elsewhere, America is not the boss of Ariel Sharon. He has his own job to do.

I can't say I disagree with the man. The only good terrorist is a dead one. Actually death is way too good for the garbage.

My sentiments exactly , to hell with trying not to offend the Muslims. CRUSH! KILL! DESTROY! <-- SILVER ALIEN DUDE FROM LOST IN SPACE.

As I see it, Sharon is implementing the Bush doctrine and defending his country which is an ally of ours. We should all applaud his efforts.

They are going to end up dead anyway, one way or the other. Better if Israel does it than have them blow themselves up, die, and take 20 israelies with them.
