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.

I was right.

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.

thanks jms.
yeah, tony and i are voth vets, so is our oldest. have several nephews as well as my youngest in the military.

yeah, timmi must have read the welsh proverb that says 'it's easy to be brave behind a castle wall'.

i see our returning vets, who have given so much for so little, and it angers me. lost limbs, lost sight, lost time, head injuries that will effect them forever. and now some dumbass who thinks that medal of honor on the ps3 is how it is in real life is all gung ho to go fight-only, he won't be the one fighting. but yeah, i'm the chicken.
i served timmi, how about you?

I was pleased with President Obama's comments today. He was very supportive of Israel. He said that, "No country in the world would tolerate missiles reigning down on its citizens from outside its borders. We are fully supportive of Israel's right to defend itself."

twitter....next i guess they'll be unliking each other on facebook.

seriously tho, probably not a bad idea. i have to think in the age of instant communication, and easy access to info, that maybe people will be less inclined to go to war.
in the days of the revolution, etc, it took months to find out news. the war of 1812 was a direct result of incredibly slow communication. we made a demand, and then declared war-and found after we'd started the fight that we'd actually gotten what we wanted. whoops.
and slow news also made a hero out of andrew jackson. his unnecessary battle in new orleans was won and news spread before the word that a treaty had been signed got back to the u.s.

yeah, this 'chicken' is all for war being the last resort, as it should be.

Do you want to have the next middle east war before or after Iran gets nuclear weapons?

The peace process is a farce. So is the idea of any land for peace treaty. The PLO and Hamas want to destroy Israel, period.

This president will not lift a finger to help Israel, which I find interesting since the Democrats all but have locked up the Jewish vote. Still can't figure that out.

If Obama wants to do something, instead of urging restraint from the Israelis as he and Bush 43 have done, instead turn Netanyahu loose. Tell the world, "We've given the all clear. Any more funny business, and the Israeli defense forces will clean your clock."

And when the rest of the world gets involved will you hit the reset button to start the game over?
