I always thought Ann Coulter had a good plan:
“We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.”

Old School.

The Israelis are out there clinking bottles together … “Warriors, come out and playyyyyy”.

If I were the IDF I would be booming out loudspeakers in the neighborhoods telling Hamas to come out from under their mother’s beds and fight like men. The idea being to so humiliate them that when the IDF leaves, Hamas would be so shamed for hiding that nobody would vote for them ever again.

LMAO.

Time to set up camp and wait for the inevitable UN condemnation,…

This will not be another Lebanon debacle. Count on it.

…questioning of whether Hamas is taking us in the right direction,”

Heh.

So what is left? Eradication.

tank_killer69 on January 5, 2009 at 11:24 PM
Stoking the wood stove, Eradication is the only answer and anyone who thinks differently hasn’t been paying attention.

I’m impressed at his silence, for it is truly a golden one.

I think I agree less with this point, and more with this one:

I don’t trust Obama’s foreign policy at all, but he’s doing the right thing by not commenting now.

thuja on January 6, 2009 at 12:07 AM

Or maybe you are saying the same thing. Let me try:

Obama is doing Israel a favor, I think accidentally, by voting “present” so far. He’s letting Bush take the lead because he doesn’t have the guts or the moral clarity to stand with Israel publicly, so he’s hiding behind Daddy.

But this effing pansy is the new President, and at some point he’s going to have to make decisions. And I have no doubt that if he were speaking on Gaza right now, he’d be wobbling around undercutting Israel’s defense efforts.

Does anyone seriously think otherwise?

Hawkins1701 on January 6, 2009 at 3:18 AM

I expect you are right. I can’t envision Obama not supporting Israel. It’s hard to imagine what it means to Israel if he doesn’t. 4 years is a long time when the wolves are at your door. Israel’s survival is resting on what decision Obama makes. I hope he has the wisdon to make the right one.

Hawkins1701

Wanna bet? There’s nothing Obama can’t do. Just wait. I’m giddy with anticipation.

Here’s The One once again voting present on the subject this afternoon, supposedly in the interest of not stepping on Bush’s toes even though his thinking matters a lot more to Israel’s timeline now than Dubya’s does.

I gotta say, the silver lining to Obama’s impending coronation is that he won’t be able to vote “present” anymore. He’ll have to actually take a stand on matters like these.

And I’ll get to watch him try and be decisive.

Hope he succeeds in office, but I’ve no guilt in relishing the thought of watching him squirm should he flounder. (Unlike the Left, I can oppose Obama without wanting him dead, and comparing him to Hitler.)

You wanted it, Obama.

Now it’s yours.

Can’t do “above my paygrade” on January 20th.

I don’t know what the fark to do about the Middle East situation, so I’m going to pretend to have unselfish motives when I don’t answer any questions.

I think Obama is doing the right thing. He’s listening for once, not speaking. It’s not his turn to speak — until Jan 20, he is a private citizen like the rest of us. Or rather, he’s a private citizen in a worse position than the rest of us because a single misplaced word coming from his mouth can undo hundreds of hours of work by the current administration to keep the Arabs from rendering aid to Hamas. Think about it — no matter what Obama says, it will not sit with the likes of Egypt or Saudi Arabia, because any critical words against Israel will encourage arms supply to Hamas, and any critical words against Hamas will look like “piling on” by the Americans. We can yak all we want, but words from us mean nothing to the belligerents or their allies.

He’s finally thinking about the totality of his Presidency, and has realized that what goes around comes around.

I’m impressed at his silence, for it is truly a golden one.

unclesmrgol on January 6, 2009 at 12:51 AM

You are right. I didn’t listen to the video. I don’t want to be negative at this point. Knowing he is going to lead our Country still angers me. But, nothing can be done. Yes, his silence is a Golden One for sure!

If I were the IDF I would be booming out loudspeakers in the neighborhoods telling Hamas to come out from under their mother’s beds and fight like men.

crosspatch on January 6, 2009 at 2:00 AM

They seek them here, they seek them there
The IDF seeks them everywhere
If you should see them, please do give a yell!
Those demmed elusive Hammas terrorists from Hell
They seek them here, they seek them there
The IDF seeks them everywhere
Oh, Hamas Sissies, how the IDF does implore you
Simply to come out from behind your women or from under your bed
With all your hiding
It’s a chore to smash your fracken heads!
They seek them here, they seek them there
The IDF seeks them everywhere!
They give the IDF nothing but frustration
Sink me! They’re spoilsports
Each and every demmed face to face battle
They run and cut short
They seek them here, they seek them there
The IDF seeks them everywhere
Are they hiding under Gazi City
Just playing with their dity?
One thing we know for sure
They’re going to be sent to Hell!

If I were the IDF I would be booming out loudspeakers in the neighborhoods telling Hamas to come out from under their mother’s beds and fight like men. The idea being to so humiliate them that when the IDF leaves, Hamas would be so shamed for hiding that nobody would vote for them ever again.

Disband the worthless UN, and boot them out of New York. If given the chance, all they’d do is muck up Gaza.

You are not equating the terrorist with the Jews and the U.S. with the NAZI’s are you? It seems like the left was doing that to President Bush.

Johan Klaus on January 6, 2009 at 1:52 AM

No, but I am equating the sentiment expressed by Mr. thomasaur (that all the Palestinians should be wiped from the face of the earth) with that expressed by Joseph Goebbels (that all the Jews should be wiped from the face of the earth).

unclesmrgol on January 6, 2009 at 1:29 AM

There is no such thing as living with these animals and that only leaves the option of living without them. There is no meeting half way with them.

thomasaur on January 5, 2009 at 11:38 PM

Regarding the Jewish Question, the Führer is determined to clear the table. He warned the Jews that if they were to cause another world war, it would lead to their own destruction. Those were not empty words. Now the world war has come. The destruction of the Jews must be its necessary consequence. We cannot be sentimental about it. It is not for us to feel sympathy for the Jews. We should have sympathy rather with our own German people. If the German people have to sacrifice 160,000 victims in yet another campaign in the east, then those responsible for this bloody conflict will have to pay for it with their lives.

joegoebbels on December 13, 1941 at 11:38 PM

reconcile that others think and act differently than they do. They truly believe that some amount of reasoning or persuasion will elicit the other party to come around, because at the core they think everyone is the same as them. This is the ultimate form of prejudice: not accepting what people say & do for exactly what they present.

If a man says he will kill you you must believe him and act accordingly.

batterup on January 6, 2009 at 12:05 AM

Hell, reasoning and persuasion worked with Hitler, didn’t it? Well, didn’t it?

lexhamfox on January 5, 2009 at 11:58 PM

Have you seen where the muslims are trying to get sharia law in European countries? The camel’s nose under the tent.

I agree. Unfortunately most of our elected officials think they can make concessions and cut deals with them. Until they wake up and realize what our only option is, we are going to lose a lot of treasure and souls to this plague.

tank_killer69 on January 5, 2009 at 11:40 PM

Making concessions and cutting deals with the Barbary pirates didn’t work, but giving them the deep six did.

I don’t trust Obama’s foreign policy at all, but he’s doing the right thing by not commenting now. We have to assume that at least some indication of Obama’s thinking on Gaza is getting to the Israelis, and there is no reason for him to make a mistake before he’s even in office.

My policy is always to wait for someone to make a mistake before criticizing them. You can pretend to be fair that way.

thuja on January 6, 2009 at 12:07 AM

I see where you are coming from and if Obama and the democrats actually applied this out of respect for the Presidency and what is best for the nation,it would apply.
But that is not the case.
Obama had no problem making comments like”Russia and Georgia need to show restraint”when Russia invaded Georgia.He made many comments about an international affair and was not even
elected.
Obama struts around with his”President elect” seal while his supporters keep yelling “Why can’t he start now”.
Obama is also commenting and putting policy out regarding
domestic issues.How is this not “acting like the President”.
Our domestic issues are just as important as our international ones.
When and Who made up the rule that there is only one President at a time concerning international affairs but not domestic.

Here are some prominent democrats doing exactly the opposite of what Obama is saying and Obama had no words of condemnation for them when they were trying to undercut the
Bush administration:

Kerry: U.S. A “Pariah” Nation Under Bush

DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan. 27, 2007
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/01/27/politics/main2404562.shtml

Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry slammed the foreign policy of the Bush administration on Saturday, saying it has caused the United States to become “a sort of international pariah.”

The statement came as the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee responded to a question today at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, where the tumult in Iraq and the Middle East took center stage.

Kucinich Sells Out U.S. to Syrian Infobabe
Bottom Line Up Front: Dennis Kucinich is a lunatic.

U.S. Congressman and presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich met with Syrian President Bashar Assad this week and subsequently interviewed with Syrian TV on September 3, 2007. In the interview with a Syrian infobabe, he suggested the U.S. seek the help of Syria and Iran as an international peacekeeping force to replace U.S. troops so there will be no vacuum for the bad guys to fill! He also said the U.S. should pay reparation to Iraqis for freeing them from decades of brutality under Saddam Hussein and that the U.S. is repsonsible for MILLIONS of Iraqis dying in the war. What??

Dennis Kucinich:

I’ve repeatedly challenged the thinking behind the surge. What I have said in offering a plan to our Congress, embodied in a resolution known as House Resolution 1234, is that the United States must end the occupation, close the bases, bring the troops home, but we must have a parallel political process that reaches out to the international community, with the help of Syria and Iran, that would bring an international peace-keeping force, move it in as our troops , so there is no vacuum. That’s the beginning – it’s not the whole plan – but that’s the beginning of a plan. Certainly, increasing the occupation with a surge is counter-productive. It can only result in more deaths.

Gore Laments U.S. ‘Abuses’ Against Arabs
Feb 12 10:08 PM US/Eastern
By JIM KRANE
Associated Press Writer
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8FNUKEO0&show_article=1

JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia (AP) – Former Vice President Al Gore told a mainly Saudi audience on Sunday that the U.S. government committed “terrible abuses” against Arabs after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and that most Americans did not support such treatment.

Gore said Arabs had been “indiscriminately rounded up” and held in “unforgivable” conditions. The former vice president said the Bush administration was playing into al-Qaida’s hands by routinely blocking Saudi visa applications.

The democrats were okay with undercutting the President when it benefited them politically.
Not only were these accusations as stupid and baseless as the “Bush lied” theme they yelled for so long,suggesting having Iran and Syria oversee Iraq is just plane insane.

Obama is taking the safe route avoiding having to support Israel strongly in public which will infuriate his left wing base and friends at the UN.
Obama and democrats in general,by their actions,totally contradict the line “There is only one President at a time”
that Obama is laying out here.

He’s finally thinking about the totality of his Presidency, and has realized that what goes around comes around.

I’m impressed at his silence, for it is truly a golden one.

Here’s The One once again voting present on the subject this afternoon, supposedly in the interest of not stepping on Bush’s toes even though his thinking matters a lot more to Israel’s timeline now than Dubya’s does.
