Megiddo, huh? Prayers for the families of yet another "Religion of Peace" display.

[UCANSEE2]

Yeah. Megiddo. Too easy to say something obvious. So I'll just watch and wait.

Israeli Troops Enter West Bank

JENIN, West Bank, Jun 05, 2002 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- Israeli tanks rolled into the West Bank town of Jenin on Wednesday, just hours after an Islamic militant from the area blew himself up alongside a crowded Israeli bus, killing at least 16 passengers.

Palestinian security officials said armored vehicles drove into Jenin from three directions. Two attack helicopters fired machine guns toward one neighborhood, witnesses said. There were no immediate reports of injuries.

In expectation of an Israeli incursion, Jenin residents quickly left public areas and sought shelter in their homes.

Jenin, a militant stronghold, has been the target of repeated Israeli raids in recent months, including a brief incursion Monday. During Israel's six-week military offensive against Palestinian militias, which ended last month, the Jenin refugee camp adjacent to the town was the scene of the fiercest fighting.

Wednesday's bombing was carried out by the Islamic Jihad group. Members of Islamic Jihad's military wing said the assailant was from the Jenin area, but would not give his name for fear of Israeli reprisals against his family.

What's the problem here? If martyrdom was so glorious, why would the scumbag not want it for his whole family?

There's got to be someone around to collect the checks from Saddam and the Saudis.

Arafat must be removed. Powell should not try to save him this time.

[chiefqc]

Unidentified leaders, faces hidden by masks, unknown sources. These are the brave fighers of freedom?

IMHO they are nothing but murdering cowards.

I thought the loser had named it Jeningrad. Looks like no one in the press (outside of the initial reports) has picked up on the change.

Yes! The entire family could go to Paradise at once.

Does anyone else get the Limbaugh letter? He had a story last month about the 72 virgins the terrorists were told would be waiting for them in Paradise. Rush said another translation of the word, according to experts, is white raisin. They are looking forward to 72 virgins, and find 72 white raisins. I would love to see the looks on their faces as they all arrive together in hell. But I plan to be at the other, COOLER Paradise place!!!!

Not a militant. A terrorist! He was a hate-filled, cowardly, inhuman terrorist. I hope the maggots turn up their noses at what's left of this piece of filth not worthy of a funeral.

You'd figure at some point, it would have to occur to Sharon to want to to deliver some crushing blow to the people bankrolling all the BS and pulling the strings, i.e. minimally to our Saudi friends, Syria, and Iran.

Arafat's removal is long overdue. If Powell yields to the whining of the Saudis, Jordanians, Egyptians and the EU and who knows who else (none of which want to take Arafat), he's more of a wooz that I thought previously....and I thought he was, indeed, a BIG wooz, as well as being one of the biggest Arabists in Cabinet.

[MinuteGal]

"Tenet told Arafat that if there were any more large terror attacks the US would not be responsible for any Israeli reply."

Do the attacks have to be "large"? Is it any less terror to pick Israeli civilian souls off one by one, or five by five? Typical diplomatic weasel words, leaving wiggle room for the subhumans the pin-stripe guys like to think of as normal people.

A Jewish Extremist group attacking their own???? Yeah right.
