#1 I suspect the army has been given nonsensical ROE, such as "don't kill anybody unless you absolutely have to", "blow up the places where missiles have been launched from before", and "don't do anything that might make them mad."

#2 Hassan Nasrallah should be #1 on the target list after that statement.

#3 There is no end in site for this whole mess and things are going to just become worse and worse. Anybody got a good link for a reference map?

#4 Israel needs to step up the pressure, not halt it. Every hour that offensive operations are halted buys time for the Paleo Propaganda Machine (infamous PPM). Hamas ministers' heads on pikes would be a start. I do not mean to be barbaric, but I have come to the conclusion that this is the only way to break through to these people. Mo's buddies used to do this to their enemies, so what's the diff? You do not negotiate with terrorists and you do not mediate.

#5 I think the only way to win this is swift and certain justice - not for the poor-poor-piteous-paleo cave people, but for their leaders and money men. Step right up and be dead.

Israel would have to conquer the entire middle east to "win" this one. Even Europe works against them. Even if they tried, they couldn't kill enough people. And besides, that just continues the conflict for centuries more. They really don't have much of a choice but to find a new way.

I don't understand why they don't just wack the money men in Saudi Arabia and everywhere else around the world. Until they do, this will never stop. Just keep wacking em'. Eventually there won't be any left.

#6 Works for me 2b, I think if we'd had more wetwork a while back we may not be looking at the aggro we have today.
