GAZA CITY — In the heaviest bombardment of its 13-day offensive, Israel pummeled a neighborhood in east Gaza overnight Sunday, producing gruesome images of bodies dead in the streets amid masses of rubble.

Thousands of panicked residents were pouring out of the area in mass flight Sunday morning. The scene at Shifa Medical Center, Gaza’s main hospital, was chaotic. Ambulance drivers reported great difficulty entering the east Gaza town called Shijaiyah, which bore the brunt of continuous fire.

After a brief lull at dawn, midmorning Sunday saw an increase of artillery and tank shelling. Explosions sounded closer to the center of Gaza City and the sky was filled with Israeli drones witnessing the mass exodus of civilians.

This is a Vietnam-Afghanistan limited war operation not a George S. Patton WW II type all out war operation.

The media hypes it all.....

I don’t sign up for anything since the truth should be free. Why sign up for propaganda?

“This is a Vietnam-Afghanistan limited war operation not a George S. Patton WW II type all out war operation”

In other words, defeat instead of victory.

I know your point very well, but you did not get the intent of what I said. Not only is it a religious war, it is also a media one as well. My points were to use the media’s template against them and in turn reverse the implications of their ultimate destruction of their weapons safe houses.

Prove it, and annihilate it IN PLACE, get it? Blowing up mosques because their intelligence says the weapons are there is no better than Colin Powell standing before the security Council. Just because our intelligence said so still did nothing to quell the liars.

Blitz them, catch the stockpiles on video and show them being blown up in the place they found them without ever cutting the video. Two things are accomplished. You capture their arms and then dispose of them where they found them, no matter where they find them.

In sports, they call that a twofer.

It will be an ultimate defeat in the end if there are more concessions at negotiating tables, land given to the terrorist state of Palestine etc.

These limited operations don’t eliminate enemies.

Israel had a shot at it in 1982 when it launched a major operation into Lebanon and had Yassar Arafat and the PLO trapped on the Beirut waterfront.

But the United States and other nations put the brakes on that operation of Prime Minister Menachen Begin and Defense Minister Ariel Sharon.

Italian and French troops, along with US Marines, were installed on the Beirut coastline as a buffer while the Israelis pulled back.....

We disagree.

The intel was right and Colin Powell was right - just the delay was long enough for the Russians and Iraqis to move the chemical weapons to Syria.

This war will not be won or lost in the media - it will only end when the last sob willing to die for his cause dies.

You and I both know the intel was correct but without having the guts to back it up instead of letting the media and the left define the template, the media won, regardless of the truth. My point was to stay out in front of the truth and document it in a way that the leftist media cannot redefine it.
