Jihadia Salafiya is suspected of attacking a United Nations school in Gaza last month, after the school allowed boys and girls to participate in the same sporting event. One person was killed in that attack.
‘Christians Must Accept Islamic Rule’

Here’s a post from January 2006 where I encouraged Israel to act immediately to secure Gaza in advance of Hamas’ governance (well…sort of). But did they listen to me? Now they are here and push has come to shove.

Unfortunately, Israel is still under the vapid leadership of Ehud Ohlmert who gave Israel it’s only military defeat in the modern era last summer against Hezbollah. Then to add insult to injury, Ehud Barak was sworn in as defense minister Monday evening. (His defense plan is to give Israel away so it does not need to be defended)

Palestinians have no compunction about telling lies and see truth as irrelevant, the former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak has claimed in an interview.

Iran still acts with impunity continuing to develop it’s nuclear weapons program which is aimed at the destruction of Israel by their own admission. Hezbollah operates unhindered to her North, further emboldened by last summer’s route of the Israel Army, and the West Bank pushes in the fences and leans into the walls seeking to gobble up more land as it’s reward for the murder of innocents.

The people of Israel wisely want elections advanced so they can dump Olhert for Benjamin Netanyahu and the assurance that a military solution to Israel’s problems are NEVER off the table.

Look, to be honest with you I have tickets to visit Israel in September 2008, so just do me favor; elect Netanyahu, re-occupy Gaza, clean up the northern borber with Lebanon and finish that wall around the West Bank.

Result? A big victory for Democracy, civilization AND I get an uneventful , enjoyable trip to the holy land.

Come on - waddaya say? Hmmmm?

I know - it’s been a long time, but I have been so disgusted with Republicans I got tired of trying to stay with them on their long, strange trip into Democratic appeasment-land. So, I’m waiting for us to find our gonads and be re-energized or else nominate Juiani McCain and slit my throat (that’s hyperbole, by the way, not a promise). With all the Republican self flagellation going on, I couldn’t help but let someone know there is one left who believes.

I’m sorry that there appears to be a state of civil war in Iraq, but what does it have to do with anything really? In the past 60 years Iraq has been in a constant state of war of some sort - starting with a violent military revolution in 1958, another violent coup in 1963, war with the Kurds in 1974, a 9 year War with Iran in 1979 and the invasion of Kuwait & the succeeding Gulf war in 1990. Not to mention the requisite purgings after each coup and Saddam, Uday and Qusay’s dalliances with mass murder.

Frankly, a civil war beats the hell out of your government just unilaterally killing you as Saddam Hussein did. At least in a state of civil war you have a fighting chance to survive and redeem your nation.

That is not my point, however. Although I know it is de rigueur to decry the current state of affairs in Iraq whether you are liberal or conservative, I am happy with the outcome of this war right now. If we left today, I think it was a success. Here’s why:

First off, we did not go into Iraq to find weapons of mass destruction, we went in to ascertain that there were, or were not such weapons. Saddam had ample opportunity to present proof of the destruction of those weapons and he chose not to do so. The United States required the assurance of their non-existence for obvious reasons. We tried to find out the nice way.

We have rendered Iraq unable to make war – on us or her neighbors. They also no longer host terrorist training camps, hide terrorist leaders or support terrorist groups around the globe financially. This is a good thing.

Iraq is now a democracy and thus, as an entity in the world community, is inherently more stable than it ever was as the brainchild of one evil maniac. It doesn’t look like America, but then, America didn’t look like America in 1779 either.

An undisputed, brutal and oppressive dictator who was responsible for the deaths of millions of his countrymen is dead. Yesssssss!

And finally, thousands upon thousands of Islamic terrorists from around the globe have come to Iraq to allow our soldiers, marines and sailors to send them to Allah. (Now that’s a win – win situation).

Unfortunately, Iraq has not stabilized the way we would like. That’s too bad, but it certainly doesn’t tip the scales over to a defeat. As Iraqi wars go, this “civil war” if that is what it is, is a cake walk. If Iraq will hold fast, those insurgents will leave because they ultimately cannot hold Iraq even if they were to win it. They can only disrupt it, and there are far better places to disrupt than Iraq in their fevered economy once the U.S. leaves.

By any reasonable accounting, this war is a success for America and for the world. George Bush should be lauded as a visionary and a man of courage to have seen it through in the face of such resistance.

I guess neither the Democrats nor Republicans will have me now.

More Israelis blew up today while a Palestinian suicide bomber was trying to make a justified political statement. The European Union has demanded that Israel apologize for having less than 10 people die in this effort.

Palestinians: Tel Aviv Bombing Justified

The European Union, which has cut off aid to the Hamas-led government, also denounced the bombing and called for restraint by both sides.

Restraint by both sides? Meaning what - that the Israelis should restrain their bodies from blowing apart too violently?

And this from the “enlightened ones”! A little American common sense would go a long way for these useful idiots.
