Time to unleash Israel

Speaking of the murder of more than two dozen Israeli civilians last weekend by what one wire service called "Islamic militants," Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld correctly and unequivocally said on NBC's "Meet the Press": "The only way to defend against terrorists is to go after the terrorists."

Then we can both turn south and clean up Saudi Arabia.

The ONLY thing that the A-Rabs respect is BRUTE FORCE!!!

If they cut off our oil, we shouldn't go back to horses. We should just take "their" oil, which is really only theirs for as long as they can defend it -- Just like they perceive Israel is only for the Jews as long for as the Jews can defend it

I agree- well said, good point.

>>We should just take "their" oil, which is really only theirs for as long as they can defend it<<

The only sense in which it is "theirs" is that they took it away from us in the first place.

In the civilized world, things don't belong to people because of their blood-they belong to people who create or buy them.

We found the oil (after discovering and developing productive uses for it), we created the means to recover it, developed a transportation and marketing system for it, and designed, produced, and installed the infrastructure which keeps it flowing.

After which the Saudi Arab barbarians, who design and create nothing, stole it from us.

Now, admittedly, we acquiesced in this rapine because of the degenerated nature of our political system, preferring instead to accept Saudi bribes to politicians in exchange for continued access (at their prices).

However, by any rational definition of ownership, it's our oil, not theirs-and I see no problem with taking it back.

Nonsense. America has bullied Israel long enough. It is time for Israel to defend itself.

The only thing that is holding back Israel is the dividsion within itself. The Labor party, represented by Foreign and Defense Ministers wants to ignore the Arab outrages and hope that by kissing their ass they would make them amenable to peace. They refuse to back any srong actions by Sharon.

Israel must destroy the homes and villages of every suicide bomber. This is the best way od discouraging their activity, and destroying Hamas.

They and we must destroy, I mean kill, every suicide bomber and sleeper. They will never be discouraged as they embrace martyrhood over victory or survival. Destroying Hamas is necessary but not sufficient as the terrorest beast can live without a head as leaderless terror. And we need to stop the production of suicide bombers at the source. No more brainwashing of young children; perhaps no more parents urging their own children into martyrdom. It is WW3.0 (We now are at the WW3.01b stage.)

There ya go, common sense. While we would very much like to see it not be the case someday, at present 80% of the world is still tooth and claw.

In a day and age like this, being a city on a hill, makes you a good target to site in on. No way a bunch of militant former goat herders should be allowed to hold us hostage over oil. If they ask a fair price, fine, if they should try to roll over us, we should roll over them.

Just how does a Arab ,loaded with explosives ,get on a Israeli bus ??

One foot at a time. In robes or in costume. Perhaps all bus passengers should be nude???
