File under: Hamas

#1 Those controlling the geostrategic Gaza Strip are Iranian and Syrian funded, trained and armed fanatical Hamas Islamo-nazis.

The once previous official Israeli restraint policy concerning the a inevitable long-over-due, final 'resolution' against the continuing Hamas terrorist threat against Israeli civilians, is no longer a concern, since Israeli Gaza residents were temporarily withdrawn (to put it nicely) , until Iran's terrorist proxies, the Hamas jihadist infrastructure is totally destroyed.

Good hunting IDF & IAF!

#2 Of course, once Israel takes Gaza at a horrendous cost---gotta fight in a way that doesn't upset "humanitarians" both domestic & foreign. Our USA patron will make us hand it over to the "moderate" Abu Mazen---and qassams will continue.

#3 Mark: I would be grateful if you might explain what is "geostrategic" about the Gaza strip. It is an administrative enclave and from what I can make out has no strategic value beyond that which the Israeli parliament is stupid enough to grant it. The lot should have been bulldozed across the Egyptian border 40 years ago.

#7 Do American planes have names on the noses like the Israeli ones do? Is it like naming one's car?

#8 TW: Back in WWII they did, as well as risque nose art. Lots of good books and websites if you are interested; but the PC movement has pretty well relegated that practice to the same trashcan that Snap-on calendars are not in; altho' back in Desert Storm I ( the original) our A-6 outfit (VA-155) allowed the pilots to christen their jets; two stand out; one was a maintenace nightmare so we named it after the Stephen King car, "Christine,' and the other was named by one of the LTs, after his filed-for-divorce-after-he-deployed: " The Bitch."

#9 Can anyone translate the nose cone writing on the Ace, plane #695? Non Hebrew reading minds want to know. Yahweh's Thunderbolt would be cool. Thanks in advance.

#10 As far as a name to an aircraft, I always got a kick out of the B-26B FLAK BAIT.

Check out the link.

#11 SCpatriot, I read that as ha Cokhav, the star. Or perhaps the comet, or the meteor -- my Hebrew is quite rusty.

#12 Ya, that's be a "star", TW, but on the nose of the bird it may be considered to mean a "smitting star", I 'd have to dig up a ref which I don't have time for, but my feeble memory is in agreement.

So, Yahweh's Thunderbolt is somewhat close, in spirit. ;-)
