Hamas leader killed
 

I think it's obvious that he was not an "imminent threat", as some would have us believe.

:(

This is going to make things even hotter overthere. There is no way the Palestinians are going to let this go anytime soon.

Looks like John Titor might be right afterall.
:eek:

Nice shooting!!! If they can get rid of that radical group of animals, there might be hope for a peace process over there.

Exactly, as soon as they kill all these folks we disagree with then things will be fine, it's a perfectly logical solution. Only problem is there seems to be a lot of these people we do not agree with. I guess we need some kind of highly organized process to kill them in a timely manner.

Yeah, forgive me but I disagree with people who strap bombs on themselves and blow up innocent people. Silly me.

It always has been for 2000 years, it currently is and will always be "kill or be killed". What fantasy world are you living in, BG?

I've always believed that a downward spiraling cycle of violence is the best way to bring peace. Everything should work out fine now.

Or perhaps means like Hamas supports should be supported, where innocents are actively targetted and killed, that works well too doesn't it? In debates over American/Isreali/Palastinian policy with people I know I am usually the one that takes the side opposite of the Israelis, but if you think there isn't a valid arguement that the death of this man COULD prevent the death of innocents, your wrong. Certaintly the opposite will probably be true, but I wonder how you might feel about this if a Hamas supported suicide bomber had killed one or more of your family members. The death of innocents can quite easily cloud ones judgement for a long time, and I think too often rational observers take that for granted when viewing Isreali policy towards Hamas

Now if they can drop a bomb on Yassar. Time to waste that fuck too.

Good shooting.

This one's gonna get interesting, and likely ugly. A few key snips from the CNN.com article:

Two sentences are italicized for emphasis.

I have a feeling we could say the same of this thread. ;)

I'm not sure we should be handing out markmanship awards for hitting an old man in a wheel chair... :p

I see the crys of vengance from Hammas and other organizations, and I'm overwhelmed at the irony of organizations who have no problem murdering thousands of innocent people lamenting the death of one man.

As for revenge, I just don't get it. Obviously everyone is right when they are standing on their side of the fence, but if every side vows revenge for every death, how will the killing ever end? That's something I'll probably never understand.

One of these days I'm going to go all "Swordfish" on the world.

So Hamas vows revenge. Uh-huh. Dial up the suicide bombings another click, boys...no, I mean let's REALLY start killing Israelis. None of that mellow level of suicide attacks like we've been advocating. It's time to drop the gloves.

And European leaders labeled the attack "unlawful" - like the Israelis give a rat's patoot?

Violence begets violence.

Then how does it end?

It ends when someone gets banned.

I think we should send my Saints over there. In a land of futility, maybe they will find some luck.

You're going to go topless at the pool?

If Wig looks like Halle, I'm all for it!

Hell yeah.

Good for Sharone. He finally got sick of listening to this hypocritical administration.

I will take a stab in the dark and guess the Palestinians will blame the US within the next day or so.

They already have. It was our backing of Isreal that allowed this to happen.

Israel deals with bombings on a daily basis. I don't think we can sit here in judgement, when we don't have to go through what they do. Gut reaction is good job Israel, but is the next leader going to be even worse? If you are going to target the leaders, you need to target the next leader as soon as he is appointed. Don't stop till none of them want to lead the group.....
