Only a fool could be blind to the fact that the Pentagon way of war, three decades into the 21st century and a world away from the United States’ last conclusive victory, means death for all who pursue it.
If Washington and the Europeans are appalled by Israel’s campaign over the last two weeks, it’s because the Israelis have resurfaced the ugly truth that no modish theories of war, international organizations, or even American presidents could long obscure. Wars are won by killing the enemy,

Netanyahu may very well bring about "peace thru strength"...Sound familiar?
G-d Bless you Bibi!

Netanyahu spent the past year ignoring idiots like Blinken and Biden and got the job done. If he had listened to those yacking yokels, Israel would have ceased to exist. One cease-fire would have allowed a complete recovery by Hamas and a major invasion by Hezbollah. As it was, the resupply efforts of the US and the UN provided Hamas with tons of food and medical supplies. The two-state solution is not an option, there is only one way to deal with terrorists and the weak people who support them and that is not to deal with them but kill them.

The US Ambassador to the UN did not attend PM Netanyahu's speech to the UNGA! That is disgraceful. Clearly does not represent the wishes of overwhelming majority of the American People. Vote Trump on Nov 5. Our only hope.

When countries allow these snake like terrorists to live in their countries, they deserve what is coming to them.
The United states needs to do some cleaning around our colleges and places where terrorists are building a terror organization among our own youth.

Bibi knew that America was not his trusted ally even before she chose to stay away.
I really think Trump needs to move the UN "off campus". Let Switzerland host them for a few decades.
Definitely a must read choice.

She's right, of course. Common sense is quite uncommon because of so many axes to grind and so little time.

Recycling. Everything old is new again.
DANA BASH: Will President Biden be speaking to Netanyahu any time soon?
ANTHONY BLINKEN: He’s on vacation in Maryland until January, Dana. Vice President Harris will reach out to the prime minister soon.
BASH: And say what?
BLINKEN: She’ll acknowledge Israel’s determination to avoid another Holocaust. And she’ll tell him our support for Israel is unconditional unless it refuses to recognize a Palestinian state bent on driving Israelis into the sea.
BASH: How would the Administration respond to an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear weapons facilities?
BLINKEN: That won’t happen, Dana. Contingency plans exist to take out Israel’s air force and Fox News headquarters if a strike appears imminent.
BASH: Are you at all worried that Iran appears on the verge of developing nuclear weapons?
BLINKEN: Not really. Our nuclear weapons specialists have been working with Iranian scientists since 2021 to ensure they fashion bombs that kill people but go easy Mother Earth.
BASH: Is there anything we can do to forestall a conflagration?
BLINKEN: Vice President Harris believes we should seize the initiative, Dana, and launch a preemptive nuclear strike on an Israeli city before
Iran does. Israelis won’t have cause to vaporize Iran, saving millions of lives and denying the ayatollahs and mullahs their martyrdom.
BASH: A nuclear firebreak?
BLINKEN: Exactly. A side benefit: The strike might embolden Iranian moderates and earn us goodwill on the Arab Street.

The number of people who are still alive who were also alive the last time America won a war, is rapidly dwindling.

The UN is absolutely worthless and is a waste of money. The United States should leave the UN, through them out of New York. They do nothing to keep peace on this planet. When they are sent to keep peace their so called blue helmeted peace keepers end up killing and raping those they are there to protect.
The sooner the UN no longer exists the better. The funds we would save could be used for better causes.

Enemies, Friends and Allies.
Kill your Enemies.
Protect your Friends.
Respect and listen to (but do not cater to) your Allies.
Currently, It cannot be said that Israel has any Friends. At least not the current Administration. So, listen consult, and economically interact with Allies, but do not EVER let them sway you from your goals. And as for those who would destroy you? Kill them all.

The thing about getting old is that you can see how often you've been right, or not. For instance, I feel vindicated that I thought, "Boy, that isn't going to work", the first time I heard, "Global War on Terrorism".
I knew Gaza was doomed when they voted Hamas into power. Took longer than I expected, though.
I could have been Biden's advisor on how to properly exit Afghanistan. I'd say that was a no-brainer, but apparently not.
I can be Netanyahu's advisor - Israel is in the right. Now if you could just teach American Jews how not to roll over.
I can be the 3-H Club's advisor - Iran is not your friend and does not really have your interests at heart. You are nothing but, and will be nothing more, than their dogs. (In your hearts, you know I'm right.)
Am I right?

And Iranians are hoping Netanyahu is finishing the job with the so/called muslim leaders...then they can have freedom from the crazy twisted moolas that have their boots on the necks of the people...obama had a chance when he was in the White House...well...he's still there...but he turned his back on his fellow muslims...

Daniel Morgan knew this, as did Nathan Bedford Forrest, Wm T. Sherman, and George S. Patton. Hamas should thank their idolatrous magic rock that one of those guys isn't in charge of this operation.

Much of the world has a unicorns and rainbows vision of peace, having never seen the atrocities of WW II and the efforts to vanquish Nazi-ism.

It seems those who have been running the military are about making money from defense contractor's stock prices. The wars go on and on with no objective to actually win anything. We saw it in Vietnam and every conflict since. To a certain extent, Korea could also be included in the bunch. The wars are started not to win, but to make as much money as possible. There wasn't any loss of a will to win because winning was never the objective.

ou wil read more about what is happening ithe ME in this article tan in ten others. And with context. She is not a reporrer but a knowledgeable observer and analyst.
" The ubiquitous availability of mobile phones with their photographic and video-capable features means that one can see the joy in the Middle East among Sunni Moslems, Christians, Druzes, and Israelis at the destruction of Hezb’allah and the gelding of Iran, whose people hate the theocratic monsters who rule them: videos from Azaz and Idlib in Syria and Christian and Sunni areas of Lebanon show the joy. Elsewhere in Lebanon, people are beating up fleeing Hezb’allah operatives trying to escape into their neighborhoods or fire missiles from them. "

I recall when the Iraq war began and we were bombing the Iraqui bunkers, some reporter chick asked Rumsfield a question. "Mr secretary, we are dropping huge bombs on the Iraquis in the desert, what are we trying to accomplish"?
Rummy's short answer: "We are trying to kill them".
