Israel assassinated a Hamas strongman Thursday in its first assault on the top leadership of Gaza's rulers, escalating a crushing aerial offensive even as it declared it was ready to launch a ground invasion.
The airstrike targeted the eight-story apartment building in the Jebaliya refugee camp that was home to Nizar Rayan, 52, ranked among Hamas' top five decision-makers in Gaza. The attack killed 12 other people including two of Rayan's four wives and four of his 12 children, Palestinian health officials said. The Muslim faith allows men to have up to four wives.
While escalating its 6-day-old military offensive against Hamas in Gaza, Israel also appeared to be sounding out a possible diplomatic exit from its campaign by demanding international monitors as a key term of any future truce.

You bet.
God bless the IDF and the IAF.
If amnesty goes through, though, we don't have much of a chance for a couple of generations. They'll vote Dem 60% of the time.
You're right though. Our work has just begun. No more Mr. Nice Guy. Now that they want to be friends (they'll start complimenting Bush, Obammie the Commie's “centrist” appointments are merely a smokescreen to defuse the conservative bomb) they'll be friendly and talking about getting along.
The Obammie’s Commie's can expect the same level of respect and tolerance and friendliness and support that they showed Bush and his supporters over the past 8 years.
4 wives?? did the guy a favor!
One Jihadist down, several to go!
I can’t believe the Israeli haters and Terrorist Hamas sympathizers that exist in this country. Either they are totally brainwashed or totally stupid....either way it is scary.
Dead on, Dilbert. How many times is Israel going to agree to a cease fire only to suffer more rocket attacks in the future?
They need to take the gloves off once and for all. Make it so painful for these people to attack Israel that they just don’t bother any more.
Perhaps the sorrow around me helped but this rendition of the tones rising from the depths of the slave ship brought me to tears.

By contrast read the real history and watch this video. I am not Jewish but for Heaven’s sake what a crock is being perpetrated on all of us.
And, no! It is not a similar pain. If they stopped living by the sword and being killed by their own actions they would have nothing to moan about.

Scroll down the site a bit and read about the “new religion” of Obamunism.

Great youtube production.
Thanks for the ping!
Stop making sense! ... was the title of a 1984 Talking Heads movie and album. But it was the phrase that sprang to my mind when I read your very cogent comments.
Which is why Israel will not know peace until the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. There is no peace so long as your enemy is alive.
Thanks. Since she had a cameo, I sent a link to Helen Thomas. I hope she drops by.
Bad news Achmed, the koran says if your killed by an Infidel you are the virgin.
Pray for W, Israel and Our Troops
