Speculative:

I see the point point you are making well, and agree that many see it that way.

To examine your premise, how should Israel have prosecuted the war?

You linked to an idiotic chart showing 75 year cumulative aid numbers, which is a fucking idiotic way to look at things. The chart has South Vietnam on it. And you accuse me of being obtuse?

Numbers aren't close?

Reading RoooR's post... then considering:

That is a long term move sir. MTN is only 5% above the one year low but 20% off the 1 year high.

I'm just waiting for CK to refer to a modern Native American group as "Paleo-Siberian" or something similarly anachronistic.

Indeed. The Israelites were in Egypt when the last of the Wooly Mammoth were dying. And there was no such thing as a Palestinian in the modern sense. The Israelites left Egypt and (re)arrived in...

Give it up for CK, a true comedian!

I'm so very glad I rescheduled the cats Denver vet appointment. Getting stuck on 70 or in Denver with a chemo cat just sounds so miserable for all.

Heavy/rhimed snow all day with lots of wind... my roof went from bare to 18" of cornice horizontal overhang on the lee but only 6" on the deck furniture, so that suggests massive wind effect.

Why don't you list the countries that will accept more than a handful of Gazan refugees?

I'll wait...

Sounds like a great reason to go into Rafah and then move on to peace negoations?

Hamas can offer Israel only two things. Hostages and Peace. They are offering neither.

^I can agree with those points

To what end? What do you think a negotiated peace does other than buy Hamas time to regroup, rearm, launch rockets, and prepare Gaza in a way that will have even worse casualties for Gazans once they...

Hamas doesn't want peace. They want death and power.
