| UNSC gave Israel 'green light' to enter Gaza: Egypt |
| 2009-01-05 |
| Israel's ground offensive in the Gaza Strip was roundly condemned across the Middle East on Sunday, with Egypt also accusing the U.N. Security Council of failing to act quickly to resolve the crisis. Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit said Israel's incursion into the impoverished territory on Saturday night came in "brazen defiance" of international calls to end the offensive it began with air strikes on Dec. 27. "The Security Council's silence and its failure to take a decision to stop Israel's aggression since it began was interpreted by Israel as a green light," he said in a statement as Israeli forces rumbled into Gaza. "Egypt condemns in the strongest possible terms the beginning of Israel's ground operations in the Gaza Strip and the invasion of the territory by its forces," the statement said. |

| #4 "Egypt condemns in the strongest possible terms the beginning of Israel's ground operations in the Gaza Strip and the invasion of the territory by its forces," the statement said. Okay, now those strongest possible terms are: 1) Please don't hurt the little duckies 2) Try not to scratch the paint on your tanks we hate to see our "enemy" looking scruffy. 3) You should be careful not to scare the camels...in Cairo. |

| #3 So how's that 'wet' work the Iranians [proud sponsors of Hamas] put out Mubarak going? I don't recall the Israelis making such an offer. |

| #2 Egypt would utterly lose its marbles if the Paleos were pushed from Gaza into Egypt. Shortly thereafter, there would be a lot of dead Paleos. |
