Israel 'ready to do swap' for soldier

From correspondents in Jerusalem

ISRAEL is ready in principle to free Palestinian prisoners in exchange for a soldier captured by Gaza-based militants in a June 25 raid, the serviceman's father Noam Shalit told Israeli television overnight.

#9  Get the soldiers back and cluster bomb the Hezbollah convoy with their people.

Right as they start their celebration.

Who wouldn't believe it wasn't a misfire of their own stuff?

#7  "The events of the last two months have shown that military force cannot solve problems," he said.

Well I guess they were defeated. Thanks for the clarification Olmert.

#6  Olmert is a utter disgrase.

The Poor Israeli people must feel like total saps hustled by another LLL into the false belief that when needed a LLL can make the hard decision. That mistake at the voting booth will be paid for dearly todays blood and humiliation was just a down payment.

Utterly ridiculous...

#3  And thus the betrayal is complete. Way to go Olmert. Check his law degree to be sure it isn't from Tehran University. This asshat just put a price tag on the head of every IDF soldier.

#2  Just wonderful. Announce that "capturing one of our soldiers will get you 100 of your terrorists back."

I'm leaning towards genocide now.
