Shame you don't have the talent or the facts to back up such claims, isn't it?
As of this post, there are 2684 ways to back up that claim, to anyone who can search A2K.
As for Krauthammer, he's nothing but a chickenhawk. He would enlist if he truly believed in what he spouts, but he doesn't.

I assume you're talking about injured and dead in Lebanon. Like I say, if Israel had fought the thing using the same rules the hezbullies use, there would be a million or more Lebanese casualties.
A hezbully in charge of Israel would have simply carpet-bombed the more densely populated areas of Lebanon without bothering to drop warning leaflets of any sort. And the bombs would have been packed with ball bearings.
Gungasnake- Cyclopitchorn is IGNORANT. He obviously does not know that Krauthammer cannot enlist since he is partially paralyzed. He does not have the full use of his legs.
Only IGNORANT people like Cyclopitchorn make comments like that, Gungasnake!

The Lebanese know that the next time, Israel's leadership will hardly be as hesitant and restrained. Hezbollah dares not risk that next time....

The Hezbollah WILL launch missles into Israel again and the Israelis will then retaliate by attacking Lebanon and this time, they will WIPE OUT BEIRUT'S POWER GRID.
But, the Lebanese can avoid such a horrendous loss-They can muzzle the Hezbollah.
The question is---Do they fear the Hezbollah more than they fear the loss of their Billion dollar power grid?

That's right. Israel, with its overwhelming military superiority and total control of the air, let them off very lightly indeed.
And in so doing, won the hearts and minds of people around the world.

Thing is, I suspect that at this point, Israel has to view the kinds of people you refer to about the way I would, i.e. probably no longer really gives a flying **** about their "hearts and minds", and would settle for their asses.
So, it's friday night and you've worked hard and you go into a bar thinking perhaps there might be someone sitting down who is half decently interesting and perhaps a rewarding conversation might ensue.
And there is one table where gungasnake and bernard are sitting.
Why bother, you guys?

Worth reflecting though, that Israel owes its existence among other things to international opinion being in its favour.
More people now, including Jews, are debating whether a country which perceives the need to murder, subjugate and rob its neighbours is worth the candle. It is evidently not representing the ideals of the faith which gave it birth. So, is Israel an experiment which has failed?

Honest truth and, again, I am a member of the Goyyim, I simply do not see where you guys come up with this crap.
Israel is basically doing a great deal of the world's dirty work for them. You could remove Israel and every living Jew from the planet and all it would do regarding Ahmadi-najad and all the other slam-nazis is move their schedule forward about five years.
It's like Benjamin Netanyahu was saying the other night, aside from atom bombs, Iran is also working on IRBMs and ICBMs with the range to hit London and New York, and they absolutely do not need that **** to hit Israel, which they can hit with what they have.
What do you think they're building that stuff for? Are you really that stupid??
It is just terrible how Israel defends itself. After all, those guys in Hezbollah and Hamas are just decent people who only seek to kill and capture soldiers. They would not blow up pizza parlors filled with women and kids, or religious dinner parties filled with the elderly.

This sounds very like "we have to fight them in Afghanistan and in Iraq, so we don't have to fight them over here." And, just as credible.
Mr Netanyahu is not my first point of reference in matters of international politics.
They what's your theory as to why Ahmadinajad wants NY range type ICBMs? Some new approach to the sport of duck hunting??

The reason heart patients who have stents in their hearts cannot go into a bar is that if they had a drink, their heads would probably explode, thereby finishing the damage that has already been done to their brains!!!

*****************
Gungasnake may be aware that Iran and its radical Religious leaders do indeed believe in the coming of the Twelfth Imam. They believe that when the Twelfth Imam returns, there will be a kind of Apocalyitic Event( LIKE A NUCLEAR EXCHANGE?) in which the enemies of Islam will be destroyed and the Caliphate will be re-established and the WHOLE WORLD WILL BE CONVERTED TO ISLAM>

The return of the Mahdi
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted: May 5, 2006
1:00 a.m. Eastern
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was invited to speak at the United Nations in October 2005. At the conclusion of his discourse, he called upon Allah to quickly usher in the re-emergence of the "Twelfth" or "Hidden Imam," sometimes referred to as the "Mahdi."
The fanatical leader later claimed that while he spoke to that august body, he was surrounded by a halo of light. Mr. Ahmadinejad regaled a local ayatollah with the story of how "The leaders of the world" stared at him during the time he spoke. He further claimed that they were unable to blink or turn away, as though some unseen force held them in a trance-like state. "When I say they didn't bat an eyelid, I'm not exaggerating, because I was looking at them," intoned Ahmadinejad.
Ahmadinejad is a Shia Muslim. Many of them believe that the Twelfth Imam, or Mahdi, the last in a line of saints descended from Ali, the founder of their sect, vanished down a well near Jamkaran, Iran, in A.D. 941. According to their beliefs, he went into a state of "occultation," like the sun being hidden behind the clouds; and, after a stormy period of apocalyptic wars, the clouds will part, and the "sun" (the Mahdi) will be revealed. They believe that when he is released from his imprisonment, the entire world will submit to Islam.
***********************************
That is why the radical fringe of Islam is so dangerous, Gungasnake.
The hypocrisy of those who support Israel.
