The attack marked a change in tactics by militant groups, whose usual method in the past has been to send suicide bombers with less powerful explosive belts strapped to their own bodies.

Only if we stick to it. I cant imagine what Tenet could say, and I hope this is a green light, but Im skeptical.
If they want a Palestinian state, give them Gaza. Israel should run them off the West Bank for good.
The "refugees" are just that.. "refugees". By definition they don't have a home. They need to find one. And it obviously shouldn't be anywhere near Jews.
Id even give them a slice of the eastern West Bank. But Israel needs to do it now, unilaterally. And thats where the security fence has to be, along a permanent, defensible border.
I hate to imagine the living conditions in an independent Palestinian State. Interesting to see what they can make of it.
Now let's all see what Ari has to say today.
In the immediate term, one of the goals, of course, is the diminution of violence, the creation of an environment in which both parties feel more comfortable talking to each other, because Yasser Arafat is no longer under siege in his headquarters in Ramallah, the Israeli people don't feel under siege because it's impossible to go out on the street without being worried about a suicide bomber taking their lives or the lives of their children. So the diminution of the violence is, first and foremost, a major concern....
He's right about Arafat being out and about, wrong about Israeli's not being under siege. I didn't hear todays remarks. Clearly Tenet has caused some embarassment, though I don't think it will get much coverage.
Maybe I'm just ignorant, but would you please explain this comment?

So this is your idea of success, RBA? In that case, my congratulations on your success in this episode! When your assistants who direct this kind of activity start doing it in your own city, perhaps you and your family will experience a similar 'success'.
Defensive war is one of the noblest activies of which the human race is capable. Israel is definitely not below this divine task.
Pray for GW and the Truth
Well, we took a country under complete control in a matter of week(s), the Russians couldnt take it in years.
Anything that moves wrong and we'll blow it away. Afganastan is a testement to the power of the worlds lone super power.
Does that clear it up?
Shoot them all!
My aunt was in the bus which came 5 minutes later.
