#1 Am I the only one to notice the "roadmap" has taken a detour? I say it's time to close the road to nowhere and start plugging Islamic maniacs on a daily basis again. Abu Mazen sure as hell isn't ever going to do anything but talk and/or whine.

#2 You're on the money and far from alone. This is a "butt coverage" political effort for what will inevitably follow. Dubya's Boyz™ have prolly told him that it's an unavoidable drama he has to play out.

I don't expect he'll be doing any encores and, of course, with bad actors such as Hamas, push will finally come to shove and end this charade. I hope The Paleo Playground™ wall is completed in time.

#3 I don't know about anyone else, but tesing a missile seems to me to to be preparing for war rather than peace.

#4 They could be developing a space program. You know, manned flights to the moon, or Mars... or Pluto.

#5 I hope that the Israeli's blow up each and every site where a missle is produced, stored, tested, or g*d forbid, used.

#6 I don't think they really understand the situation - Israel has been really restraining themselves. Launch one of these into a major city and all bets are off

#7 I am certain that this Roadmap (to Hell)™ is a little charade to give the Paleos a final chance to work out a settlement peacefully, or to show that they are not willing or capable to act in good faith. Not even the EUniks will be able to justify their support to the PA and Hamas and Gunnies, LLC if the Paleos blow this one. The economic situation in Gaza is telling the story. The UN is running out of money and nobody is giving. Time is running out. If Hamas is test firing missiles, then they are giving the IDF vital targetting data for the big push. What a bunch or maroons.

#8 Frank G / AP - What? You aren't implying there's a limit to Paleo Self-Delusion™, are you? What evidence do you have? Ha™! Arrogant Infidel Children of Aristotle™! You are just like that arrogant TGA - asking such questions. We can shout, don't hear you! I am shock-ed! Shock-ed! I demand you produce this evidence forthwith! Ha™! 8->

(Yes, that's right: I'm claiming Trademark rights to Ha!) Ha™!

Ho! Now you can't use the letters P and D together like that.

"Not even the EUniks will be able to justify their support to the PA and Hamas and Gunnies, LLC"

But I'm sure they'll find a justification nonetheless. Remember that the EU's job is to counterbalance American hegemony involvement in the region.

#12 Ok, call it a truce. In the true spirit of Rantburg, I grant you an exclusive license to use "PD" however you wish. In fact I'm transfering all rights regarding "PD" over to you.

#16 TGA - go ahead and give me a phonetic rendition. It's been about 37-38 yrs since my one little semester of Phrensch...

#17 You're a Prince

So you're calling me a Saudi now??? Fortunately (or unfortunately, no, fortunately, or maybe unfortunately, nahh definately fortunately) I am not part of that family.

#18 Rafael - Sorry - No slur intended! As for being one, not so bad if you hauled ass for Switzerland today, rather than trying to milk that very last drop blood out of the rock before the Saoodi world collapses... ;-)

Note new sig - TGA has skeered me off...
