#1 So much ammo, so many guns, so many targets, so little satisfaction.

C'mon you inept wankers! You shoot like little grrlz.

#2 As long as the popcorn is salty and not sweet, pass it on over.

for some bizarre reason, Chinese people always eat popcorn with sugar on it

#5 Like I said, who wants to bet that this isn't one of the final showdowns over which faction is finally recognized as the genuine receptacle valid recipient of foreign aid?

Let's all hope that this will settle their hash (as it were). A final degeneration of the enduring Palestinian conflict into a classic internecine bit of Muslim bloodshed would go a long way towards making the outside world understand where so much of the blame lies.

#7 Looks like they obey cease-fires with each other about as well as the ones with Israel.

#8 Habitual gun sex leads to itchy trigger finger syndrome . Weening this lot off guns is an impossible task . Lock down all border crossings and let them 'boil in a bag'.

#9 It looks like we're getting our money's worth from Secretary Rice's donation.

/Is our current government truly that cynical?

#12 Here's a thought:

When we have the first Jihadi sucidial-homicidal booming against Al-Fatah, then the corner will really have been turned in the Paleo Civil War.

For now, piss-poor shooting, maybe, just maybe the occasional RPG, does not suffice.

#13 why should anyone be surprised? if they believe violence will solve problems with Israel, it's a short jump to believing violence is the solution for any problem.

#14 At this point it's almost as good as when Iran and Iraq went to war. Ah warm smiles and extra melted butter.

No real MSM coverage because the Joos and Bush aren't in the picture. After all the porKoranimals never shed other Mooselimb blood, Allen would not be pleased. Nor for that matter CBS, NYT, CNN, ABC, NBC...

Basically it's the worthless Gazanians fufilling Muhamhead's promises of killing to instill a Caliph? I don't know and at this time I don't care. Pass the salt I'm getting up for a beer and an extra VCR tape. I don't want to miss this one!

#15 Let us hope their aim is good when shooting at each other and crappy when shooting at Israelies.

#16 ...dashing hopes that an overnight truce would bring quiet to the Gaza Strip.

Hey, man's gotta sleep. Look for another one tonight.

#18 The MSM does not cover the Gaza Festivities™ because they are considered intermural sports. They only cover big leage sports, like the Paleostinians vs. the Israelies, or Al Qaeda vs. The Great Satan.

#19 a perfect fit for the gangs of Gaza and their supporters in the media.
Gee Officer Krupke!

#20 I hope you guys have a lot of popcorn because this is gonna take a while. Even though they don't know anything but fighting, I'm afraid they don't even know that very well and are really just no good at it. My prediction is a long, low level war comprised mostly of inconclusive shoot outs and the occaisional assasination. They may get down to committing suicide bombings against each other but I seriously doubt if either side has what it takes for the kind of organized, all out, pitched battles that will actually decide anything. Ugly and messy, yes. Decisive, no. Just a prolonged blood feud between uncivilized barbarians.

Egyptian mediators? This could go on for a long, long time.

#21 I think Fred has a popcorn farm behind the O Club, Ebbang Uluque6305. We can pop it as long as they have tools with which to harm one another. Oh, and I put a traditional vegetable & dip platter on the sideboard for those who prefer crudites to cholesterol. ;-)

#22 Hey, we *love* crudities, tw. Although, we usually dress them up with a little lipstick and try to pass them off as rants. Or are you talking about those little arty vegetables?

#23 Geez, I'm popping as fast as I can!

My extra industrial poppers are on backorder and not expected until the first of next year.

Still, in the spirit of Rantburgers everywhere, I soldier on, even singing while I work.

(Cue music)

♫ It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Civil War

Ev'rywhere Abbas goes;

Take a look in the Hamas ten, esploding once again

With Toyota trucks and bomb factories aglow.... ô

:-D

#27 I'd no idea you had such a lovely voice, Barbara -- so well fitted to the lyrics! ;-)

No artistically carved vegetables, SteveS, just carrot sticks and such with homemade blue cheese dip. I made radish roses once, but they never opened properly in the bowl of ice water, so I gave up on the whole idea. I do hope you will forgive me. ;-)
