#1 I say, make 'em beg....

"Say 'Please take back Shalit and give us water and electricity!'"
...
"Now say 'Pretty please, with sugar on top'"

Humiliate the bastards. Publicly. Maybe ask how that whole intifada thing is working out... and make 'em air it all on Al Jazeera.

#3 I think the humiliation is going on now, with the guys who make faces and strut around with guns scurrying like rats to get out of the way of the real soldiers. Not that they can actually feel the humiliation, mind you, since they don't feel shame like we do.

#4 He's probably already dead, unless they plan to publically torture him. It's hard to be strong with your son in harms way, my heart goes out to this family.

#5 Given the uncanny Paleo knack of making a bad situation worse, I suspect Cpl. Shalik is already dead. Not having a live hostage to return is going to make the 'negotiations' a little more complicated. I hope I'm wrong.

#6 Hamas has control over the release of the kidnapped soldier. Since Hamas is the government, wouldn't their complicity be an act of war?

#7 invasion, attacking, and kidnapping a soldier IS an act of war.

#9 "Not that they can actually feel the humiliation, mind you, since they don't feel shame like we do."

My impression is that part of their problem is that they feel shame TOO intensely, whether its an officer who wont admit to his superiors how bad things are, or a whole culture struggling about how to take lessons from barbarians.

#10 Hammas has invaded our territory, attacked and killed two soldiers and kidnapped a third soldier.
This is undisputably an act of aggression of one "government" aginst another sovereign Government.
This is a Cassus Belli or an act justifying a formal declaration of war against the democratically elected Hamas Government.
You cannot claim to be a lawfull democratically elected Gov'mint and keep behaving like a bunch of terrorists.
We have to teach them a dire lesson and the hell with collateral damage. The Buck has to stop somewhere.
I recommend incendiary bombs and NAPALM as an appetiser followed by a rain of JDAMS and an assortment of "Stupid Ammo" for the main course, you really dont want to know what's planned for dessert.
I am Sick and tired of the biggotted Paleos.

Hunting season is open !

#11 Elder, if you are going to use napalm, why waste JDAMS. The kits cost around $25K apiece. For what you have in mind, accuracy is not important.

#12 It is time for the Israelis to completely sever all ties with Palestinians. If they need cheap labor, perhaps they can work out a deal with Mexico.
