CIA Chief Pressures Israel for ‘Pause’ in Fighting — as Hamas on the Ropes
Breitbart ^ | 11/06/2023 | Joel B Pollack

Posted on 11/06/2023 2:35:48 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

The Biden administration is ratcheting up pressure on the Israeli government to declare a “pause” in fighting against Hamas — even as Israel continues to push the terror organization into a corner.

On Friday, as Breitbart News reported, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu firmly and publicly rejected calls for a “pause,” saying there would be no stop to the fighting until Hamas released the 240 hostages it still holds in Gaza.

They need to prolong the ecstasy. Last thing they want is to actually win this thing and end it.

The CIA is running policy now? Guess we know who’s in charge.

There's no real President, so each agency is free to weigh in with its own opinions.

State and CIA appear pro-Iran and want a ceasefire, Austin seems pro-Israel and DOD sent 50+ C17s with weaponry to Israel & the ME almost immediately.

So each agency seems to be pursuing its own foreign policy, and as long as DOD keeps shipping weapons, what State or CIA say is irrelevant.

When that all happens, Israel should pause the hostilities.

I disagree. All those things you listed, just gives Hamas another chance to regroup and repeat their atrocities.

The only event that warrants a pause is when every last Palestinian/Hamas (yes, I use that interchangably) is dead.

“The last time we won a war, we didn’t pause. We kept hitting the enemy until he surrendered unconditionally. Might have screwed things up a bit in Italy, but it worked pretty well on Japan and Germany. Compare the damage in Gaza with pictures of Berlin or Tokyo in 1945.”

Italy did not surrender unconditionally. The King and the government were allowed to switch sides and continue on. They were called co-belligerents by the Allies, but your point is valid.

Maybe the CIA doesn’t want to lose any assets that are smuggling arms to Hamas.

I don’t think the CIA would throw away the valuable assistance it receives on Islamic crazies from the Israeli security apparatus.
All this stuff is just the media doing what they love best. Supporting the fake philistines and kissing hamas ass. Expect to see more of this ‘extend a lifeline to hamas’ propaganda gets more crushed.

In a way that is accurate.

Through much of the Cold War, some of the more radical strains of Islam (Wahhabi: https://www.mei.edu/publications/saudi-wahhabi-islam-service-uncle-sam) ), it’s leaders and organizations, were seen as a natural counterweight to the Soviets and the spread of atheist communism.

We did fuel the rise of much that we today are facing as a threat.

The idea of “the enemy of your enemy is your friend” is one that needs conditions.

That approach has given this world lovely (sarc) folks like Noriega, Saddam, Pinochet, Marcos, fueled radical Islamist’s...

so that’s the 100th USA political hack or appointee hack that asks for a Falestinian terrorist resupply opportunity

sort of a pattern, eh?
sick as hell

the only way to get those kidnap victims out is to fight them out. and even this does not come with a guarantee but it is the best chance

DO NOT GIVE THEM ONE SECOND OF REPRIEVE!

THE CIA IS NOT YOUR FRIEND!

IF THEY HAVE ANY TIE TO HAMAS THEY SHOULD BE ROTTING IN THE GROUND, WITH RAW BACON SHOVED DOWN THEIR THROATS.

“as Hamas on the Ropes”

Hmmm If on the ropes, kick the block out from under them.

The King and the government were allowed to switch sides and continue on.


The reason I mentioned Italy, is the time we took to accept their surrender gave the Germans enough time to pour troops into the peninsula which a made mess of the Italian campaign for us. The Germans, being Germans, made Italian soldiers within their control P.O.W.s after executing their officers for treason.
