Israeli missile strikes kill two Gaza militants
2008-01-21
Israeli missile strikes killed at least two Palestinian militants and critically wounded two others in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, local medical workers and Hamas officials said.

Hamas Islamists, who control the coastal territory, said the targets of the Israeli strikes were militants who were involved in firing makeshift rockets into southern Israel. The Israeli army confirmed it carried out the two missile strikes. Israel has killed dozens of Palestinians in Gaza -- many of them militants -- during the past week as part of what officials describe as a stepped-up campaign to curb rocket fire into the Jewish state. Gaza militants have fired more than 200 mortars and rockets at Israel in the past five days, the army said.

#9  I find that they're more understandable taken as a Gestalt (one lump) and disconnect your sanity section.

Works, try it. In other words, don't read it word for word, try to get the flavor by swallowing it as a whole.
(Course the wife says I'm crazy, so maybe like minds, and all that?)

#5  JPOST > JOHN BOLTON - US INTELLIGENCE HAS BECOME POLITICIZED. US INTEL establishment has become "illegitimately politicized" and overpol by US STATE DEPT, etc. despite advent of new NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE layer.

IOW, US INTEL IS TOO POL TO DO ITS JOB EFFECTIVELY + MAY ACTUALLY POSE A NATIONAL-GLOBAL SECURITY DANGER TO ITSELF, US INTEL EFFORTS AND THE USA. i.e. may had been COMPROMISED + PENETRATED TO THE DETRIMENT POF THE AMER GOVT-NATION.

We know how ANNA NICHOLE SMITH + SAID GIRLS, etal. ENDED UP.

The IDF is tailored for dealing wid organized armies - some of which have WMDS and suppor Terrorist organizations. IDF CHIEF > ISRAEL CANNOT ALLOW/ACCEPT A NUCLEAR IRAN.
