Hamas: Israeli attack opens 'gates of hell'

Rudeboyelvis · #1 11-14-2012, 06:38 PM

>>>(CNN) -- Israel launched a series of blistering air strikes Wednesday on what it says are terrorist targets in Gaza, killing the chief of Hamas' military wing and at least eight others, Israeli and Palestinian officials said.

As the tensions ratcheted up, the U.N. Security Council was scheduled to hold an emergency meeting Wednesday evening.

Palestinian leaders immediately condemned the attacks as an escalation, with President Mahmoud Abbas calling for an emergency session of the Council of the League of Arab States to discuss what he called Israeli "aggression," the Egyptian state news agency MENA reported.

Hamas' military wing warned that Israelis had opened "the gates of hell on themselves" with the move.<<<

You treat this **** like a Video Game. Our allies may drag us into yet another unfunded war. This will be the mother of all wars. This is not something to joke about.

i had the same reaction to his post. it's serious stuff. if they don't find a way to calm things down, it will end up having terribly wide-ranging effects.

The air strikes were 'retaliation by Israel for increased rocket attacks from Gaza.'..
OK, fair enough...Let them fight it out and we view from afar...The Isrealis can handle this on their own as they have on all the other 'clashes' with their neighbors...we don't need another 12 year war...

Agree with that. The lessons of Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan are never learned. No matter how much firepower you have, it's hard to beat people on their own turf. They hide among the populace and its hard to distinguish between combatants and non-combatants. I think Reagan and Clinton had the right idea. Just send the bombers over. None of this boots on the ground business.

Yes...and as long as we are fighting 'the war on terror', see nothing wrong with drone attacks..rather that than a 50,000 troop land invasion...

Me too. I've heard the arguments about innocents being killed and I am sorry that happens, but war is hell and innocents are always killed.

Are you implying she is a chicken cause she doesn't want this country to get into another UNFUNDED war? She has a child in the military thus has skin in the game and you watch this on TV while collecting your SSI while bashing Obama for an increasing Debt and voting for Romney who quite frankly **** all over your ilk as you are a TAKER. Now you are for us getting into another conflict at the cost of Billions a day thus increasing the debt. I Knight Thee Sir Paradox Man.

If they can argue that Boots on the ground and Long Range bombing has LESS civilian casulties then targeted drones they would have an argument. That would absolutely defy any and all logic.
