| Olmert: We must continue Gaza ops |
| 2008-03-04 |
| Operation Hot Winter was not a "one-off," said Prime Minister Ehud Olmert at the Knesset Monday. "Everything is possible, aerial and ground raids, special operations and other operations - everything is up for discussion. What we do, how we do it, and the extent to which we attack, all of it will be felt by Hamas," Olmert said at the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. "We will not be revealing what we are considering, or when, because we don't want to give our enemies the chance to prepare." Olmert has come under attack from the diplomatic community, coalition and opposition legislators, for his handling of the ongoing rocket fire from the Gaza Strip. IDF forces withdrew from Gaza on Monday, ending a three-day offensive that left more than 100 Palestinians dead. Hamas officials declared a victory, and continued to launch rockets into Gaza-periphery communities and Ashkelon. |

| #6 They do need the AC-130 firing platforms to sustain the 105 firing reactions. No drone can support the cannon fire and remain stable. Nothing will get the mad dogs attention like Spooky followed by a little application of napalm juice afterward to seal the deal. Guaranteed no more rocket launching from that sector after a little of the "special attention." |

| #5 Israel needs the 21st century equivalent of WT Sherman who will take say three weeks to march from Israel to the Med. In a swath say 40 miles wide. |

| #4 Does Israel really need an AC-130 when they've got such lovely drones? I can't comment about PM Olmert, lest I start thinking about Secretary of State Rice, to whom I sent a critical email last night (via the State Dept. website, so she likely won't see it, I know). I think I'll take a nap, instead. |
