You imagine that "Mossad" is magically all-knowing and all-able. You seem to have no friggin idea of the risk and mortal danger -- not to mention difficulty, and by being difficult the time factor involved -- in carrying out your anime-like secret agent fantasies. That is not ad hominem --for it is YOU with the fantasic idea of what the Mossad can do, and YOU with the incessant "secret agent Jack Kimosabi of the Internal Secret Police in the anime flick 'The Mind-addled Boso in the Machine'" graphic affixed to every one of your posts.

Now, now, wipe the spittle off your keyboard. Emotionalism is unbecoming.

No, I don't imagine Mossad to be all-knowing and all able. In all probability, however, it was either Mossad or Shin Bet who knew that the boss terrorist was in the convoy in the first place. They would have transmitted the information to the chopper. This isn't fantasy stuff, if you had, but for a moment, stopped slobbering all over the keyboard and considered how the Israelis knew he was in that car, you might have chosen to see it my way.

But, since this has turned into a silly little manhood contest with me, I can't expect you to ask the right questions.

However, in the grand tradition of hitting a fly with a sledgehammer, the IDF missed its target and took out civilians, instead. Not good, for either diplomacy or the mission at hand. The Israelis forgot to consider what would happen if they missed, which was unforgivable. I stand by my assertion that they should have used more covert, but much more certain, methods, no matter what the cost.

Killing off the leadership of Hamas is essential. Doing it with a minimum of "collateral damage" is preferable to forcing your Palestinian negotiating partner to play the nationalist card after a Hamas leader was almost "martyred".

BTW, you get two Batboys for showing up and actually making a stab at some sort of argument, but no more, as you descended into ad hominem once again.

Do try again when you have something to bring to the table, and please, lose the allcaps when you say "YOU". Screaming and banging the table is no substitute for actual argument.

Be Seeing You,

Chris
