With any luck this will be Israel's war to end all wars. Wipe them all out now. But only if Kofi gives them the green light /sarcasm.

But he later said: "We do not kill captives. Our Islam requires that we treat captives well and fairly." He declined to say whether Shalit was alive or dead.

Aha! You had me until you put this in, LibWhacker!!

Longer than the Six Day War?

Maybe, someone asked Olmert how long it would a war against Palestine last. "This is a long war," Olmert said. Then Olmert went on to say that it would take four or five years just to quit laughing and then maybe an hour or two to get it done'.

The war's not over one soldier. The war is over years of atrocities, of which the kidnapping of Cpl. Shalit was the final straw...and it's long overdue.

A long war? Longer than it is now, which is forever? Nothing is longer than forever. Their war will never end until the end of time when Jesus returns and shuts us all down, for once and for all.

The Israelis are also telling Assad (indirectly) that he'd better watch his backside. From another article:

He [Olmert] told the audience he has ordered the army to push forward with efforts "to strike terrorists and those who sent them and those who sponsor them," an apparent reference to Syria. "None of them will be immune."

Hang on. Between Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Israel, it's conceivable we could have one big battle in the M.E. very soon. I could throw in Afghanistan, but I don't know if they are technically the M.E. or Asia.

"Washington has been urging Olmert to show restraint"

Hypocrisy makes me sick...especially on the 4th.

"Our Islam requires that we treat captives well and fairly."

For a religion that denies individual freedom there often seem to be as many favors available as there are Muslims--which is to say WAY too many.

"Whether he will be killed or not killed, we will not disclose any information ... Discussion is closed," said Islamic Army spokesman Abu al-Muthana.
al-Muthana? Any relation to al-Murtha?

Hamas accused Israel of trying to topple its three-month-old government, which the Jewish state and Western powers have pushed to the brink of financial collapse by cutting off aid.

I hereby demand that Israel and the U.S. give me money!

"We do not kill captives. Our Islam requires that we treat captives well and fairly."

(Koran 8:12) "Smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger tips of them."

(Koran 5: 33-34) "The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet and alternate sides cut off"

(Koran 22: 19-22) "But as for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be cut out for them, boiling fluid will be poured down their heads. Whereby that which is in their bellies, and their skins too, will be melted; And for them are hooked rods of iron."

(Koran 76: 4) "Lo! We have prepared for disbelievers chains, yokes and a blazing fire."

They must be part of that OTHER Islam we keep hearing so much about. You know, the GOOD Islam.

That murdered Israeli teenager is also part of this latest round of Palestinian atrocities, along with a 62 year-old Israeli...and Cpl. Shalit.

I'm convinced it's coming. I just hope it happens before the other side gets lots of nukes -- or any nukes (though it may already be too late for that).

"'...it's conceivable we could have one big battle in the M.E. very soon.'

I'm convinced it's coming."

The size of the battle depends on how long the US continues to thwart Israel from taking care of the problem...the longer it goes on, the larger and more encompassing the battle will be. Israel could take care of the problem right now withing a matter of weeks and at the same time put the fear of a real God in islam.

It's pitiful, isn't it? Those civilians voted Hamas in. Wipe out Hamas and those civilians, given a chance, will simply vote in another group of insane lunatics.

Hamas is claiming credit for a rocket that hit a high school. Israel had better nip this problem in the bud.
