#1 Might as well chase this dog through Lebanon and into Syria

#2 I've found this little gem in Arutz Sheva
Dozens of Hizbullah-fired Katyusha rockets struck all over the north, killing a woman in Nahariya. Northern Israel had six years of quiet, and Hizbullah had six years to build up its rocket forces.

#3 Retreating from south Lebanon was a big mistake, it led to the "al aqsa" intifida, and I think the gaza evacuation was a mistake too.

#5 Olmert is making a much better response than I expected. I hope he carries on. If these dupes reinforce from Syria, et al., I think we ought to jump in with materiel or whatever to make certain they can stand their ground.

#6 We have a score or our own to settle with Hizb'allah. 242 Marines killed in Beiruit. The leadership needs to be taken out. It is also time for Syria to feel hurt. They are the ones enabling this madness against Israel.

People like Adminadejad, Pencil Neck, and Kimmie need to be dealt with decisively, otherwise we get in a mess like what is happening to us and Israel now.

#7 I don't think withdrawing from Gaza was a mistake. It was an object lesson to Europe and the rest of the whining world that nothing Israel does will ever be enough, and the Palestinians will always miss any opportunity they're given. Now is the time to totally crush them, push them into Egypt or Syria, and say that any further actions against the united state of Israel (from central Lebanon to the Sinai [maybe further, if Egypt starts playing games]and Eilat, from the Jordan to the Med.) will result in a capital or two glowing for a thousand years.

#8 OP---This Gaza thing was a strategic withdrawl. You are right. The Paleos failed the Final Exam. If Egypt has it's sh!t together, they better stay the hell out of the conflict, and let the losers lose. The Egyptians have some scores to settle with Al Q, too. The terrorists are determined to wreck the tourist industry in Egypt, one of the few real industries that Egypt has.

#9 Gaza was not a mistake. Sharon's stroke was devastating. Olmert flunked his test in responding to Gaza. Now he's overreacting. Hezbollah flunked by misinterpreting Gaza and getting greedy. I wonder how long it will be before the Guns of August II comes out.

#10 I agree - Gaza was NOT a mistake. The only mistake was by the Paleos and Hizbollah in imagining world and regional support.
