| Israeli FM says ready to cooperate on Gaza aid |
| 2009-01-23 |
| Israel assured the European Union on Wednesday it would allow urgent supplies into the Gaza Strip even as Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak threatened new strikes against Hamas tunnels. The EU said it hoped more humanitarian aid could get through to Gaza Strip after Israel assured the bloc it would fully cooperate on allowing urgent supplies through. Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said after talks with EU officials in Brussels that crossings into Gaza were open for such humanitarian purposes and Israel was ready to cooperate "as far as needed" to ensure vital aid got through. "I am happy to hear what the minister said," EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana said after talks late on Wednesday. "I hope very much that will be reality tomorrow and that the lorries that are necessary to go in ... can enter into Gaza." |

| #2 There will be no more Qasams for a very long time, AP---just as there no more Katiushas from Lebanon. As to the victory, there is no victory short of complete elimination of Islam. |

| #1 Israel lost this war, just like it did Lebanon in 2006, because it did not set its strategic goals and did not finish the job with destroying Hamas. Hamas will win the war of attrition if the situation stays the same. And...there are NO consequences for Iran to back these groups with resources, training, and cannon fodder. Big O, are you going to negotiate with these a$$holes? Give them thelegitimacy that GWB never did. |
