Al-Akhbar: US gives Israel green light for large-scale Gaza op
2008-05-11
The US has given Israel the green light for a large-scale Israeli operation in the Gaza Strip, Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar claimed Saturday.

The paper quoted unnamed diplomats who said Washington had authorized the move after Defense Minister Ehud Barak presented US officials with documents attesting to the increased arming of Hamas and Islamic Jihad operatives in the Strip.

The paper further stated that Barak and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert had met several times recently to discuss the prospect of an operation and make a final decision on the issue. It claimed that Israel's hesitancy was due to fears that such an action would hurt negotiations with the Palestinian Authority.

#6  I would just LOVE to see the US run an ARCLIGHT strike with six B-52s just three miles offshore, then tell Hamass they need to understand that peace with Israel will be the only thing that keeps us moving that strike four miles to the east. These people need to understand that they have caused many Americans - me among them - to think that the only positive side of Hamass is as worm food...

#5  Line the Cat D11s up at the northeast corner of Gaza facing west; drive to the Med; move slightly south; repeat until problem solved. Really, these problems aren't all that difficult.

#2   Why do WE need to give any green lights? ... Besides, I though they were our "Zionist Masters"

If you don't understand simple things like this, bigjim-ky, how can you hope to understand that decreasing temperatures are a sure proof of global worming?

Lets start you on something really simple---meditate on the following for a fortnight.
"Americans even worse than Israelis---who are the worse."

#1  Why do WE need to give any green lights? Its their country, we really don't have much to do with this at all.

Besides, I though they were our "Zionist Masters"
