#1 May Ahmadinejad partake himself in such victories in the future.

#4 A few more 'victories' like that and there wont be a single building standing in Gaza.

#5 It is a victory for Ahmadinejad and the MMs. Their cash outlay to support all the Hamas individuals has probably gone down considerably. In these tough times 'cost cutting', by whatever means, would probably be appreciated by them.

#6 Does anyone really need more to realize that these people are from another world?...not sure what hinders these people more, their good book or the saving face crap. The UN needs to start a "Reality Check 101" class in the Middle East.

#7 Why doesn't Israel invite him to a victory parade? I'm sure it would be safe.

#8 Given that Ahmedinejad always internded to fight to the last Palestinian, it is a "victory" that there are still some left.

#10 What's the downside, bigjom?

A tax on popcorn sales to help pay for new buildings.

The Palestinians will have more rocks to throw at the Israelis. It's gonna take a lot of D-9s to push all that rubble into the Med. Most of the ground will be contaminated for four or five years before it can be cultivated or settled upon. Other than that, I think it's a MARVELOUS idea.

Mods, please clean up #13 and 14. I only hit "Send" once, so I don't know why this happened.

#16 Well, it'll be the first 1.5 mile-deep riprap shoreline protection. Should be adequate for 3,000 or 5,000 years?
