I hate to add to your post, but don’t forget about Venezuela and that Hezbollah and Hamas have cells in South America (and here in the U.S. of course, too). It doesn’t bode well that Obama has ties to Ayers, who has ties to Moscow, and Cuba (Cuba of course with ties to Venezuela).

And, of course, we can’t forget about Pakistan and India getting all touchy with each other right now either...

2009 is not shaping up to be a very pleasant year anywhere in the world, really. You’re seeing the same things I’ve been seeing, too - let’s hope we’re both wrong...

“Israel Strikes Back - In Response To Rocket Fire, IAF Hits Hamas Targets In Gaza, At Least 200 Dead

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The IDF launched a massive operation in Gaza on Saturday striking Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip killing at least 200 and wounding scores. By nightfall Saturday over 80 Kassam rockets, Grad missiles and mortar shells had been fired at Israeli communities.

On Saturday night, the IDF maintained a heavily beefed up presence outside the Gaza Strip, as troops prepared for a possible ground operation in Gaza to compliment the air offensive.

Earlier Saturday, an Israeli was killed and three others suffered light to moderate wounds when a rocket hit an apartment building in the Negev town of Netivot. .The dead Israeli was later identified as 58 year old Beber Vakhnin. After the fatal attack two other rockets fired from Gaza hit Ashkelon. Shortly after, the IDF began its massive air offensive. Saturday evening a rocket made a direct hit on a synagogue in the Eshkol region wounding one of the worshippers.

The military operation dubbed Operation Cast Lead was launched just days after the cabinet gave the army its approval to operate in Gaza in response to the scores of Kassam rockets fired at Israeli communities in southern Israel earlier in the week.

While Washington called on Jerusalem to show restraint it refrained from demanding a halt to military activities in Gaza. Britain and France however called on an immediate cessation to the hostilities. Members of the Arab League countries intend to convene an emergency meeting to discuss the situation.

At a press conference on Saturday, Defense Minister Ehud Barak declared the current campaign would expand and is expected to last for some time. The IDF and IAF he said destroyed the terrorist infrastructure in Gaza hitting over 150 Hamas operatives.”

VIDEO:

“Hamas terrorists blame moderate Islam and “silent arabs” for Israel’s retaliation”

VIDEO DESCRIPTION - QUOTE:

Hamas calls the killing of the terrorists “a massacre”... all the while Hamas broke the cease-fire, provoked an Israeli counter-strike by sending rockets and missiles over to Israel indiscriminately... that is the islamofascist/leftist agenda, to harass the bourgeois West until it abdicates and “submits” to the “poor” Third World supremacists.

This is a war, the left are traitors and the third world radicals are out to kill and enslave us all.

I’m just going to address both of you at once since you both think my post demonstrated some sort of liberal guilt...

You can add to my post. :) I don’t have tin-foil on my head but it sure seems like we are all anticipating something BIG. Seems like there is SO MUCH turmoil from every angle!!

Just seems like a tension reliever to try to out guess and not be caught by surprise. Guesses maybe wrong but they can keep a person busy!! :) I hope we are both wrong also.

Maybe I should just go get the tin-foil and be done with it!! roflol I have concluded ignorance is bliss!! and I’m to ignorant to join the ignorant!!!

“You should go troll somewhere else.

Since Israel withdrew from Gaza a few years back, Hamas has launched over 5,000 rockets/mortars at Israel.

Israel has turned the other cheek 5,000 times.

Idiot.”

Rammer:

After reading Askwht5times’ posting history I can only conclude that you failed to check out the person you were calling a troll. The opinions I saw are very mainstream FR and indicate that the person you accuse of being and idiot is neither stupid or without an ideology..

Please make sure of your target. Friendly fire can be more damaging than enemy fire.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
