Excuse me???? And after Jenin, exactly which stronghold has been hit and neutralized??? Which Israeli offensive is it that I've missed?

[Cold Heat]

Jenin was the big mama! They send in units to areas where they know of the presence of militants. They sent tanks back into one area for a little party the other day(pre-emtively)

They will go back into Jenin again if needed! Do you think we will stop them? If you do, then you are mistaken.

Israel is not being hamstrung-they are continuing to enter new areas-2 days ago, it was reported that they were making new incursions into small towns ( the exact names escape me, but a search will find the info). They haven't withdrawn, they are still in Palestinian areas. Don't you think we are sharing our air and ground intel with Israel, as to terrorist locations in Israel? What is said publicly by statesmen and diplomats, is the sanitized version of what really happened. No one is disputing that GW told the Saudis, that he would not allow Israel to be crushed- I don't recall anyone reporting that he told the Saudis he would not allow Israel to crush the Palestinians.I bet Bush used stronger words, than "just quit now" when he disciplined the twins after their margarita escapades.
