Do they cross the border, or will John Kerry defuse the situation in the nick of time?

He can blame Hillary.
You have a better chance of Bowe Bergdahl finishing a deployment than you do of a high level politician accepting responsibility for failure.
Oh snap!
Damn dude, LOL!
TEL AVIV: Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed that the latest round of airstrikes on Gaza should stop further senseless killings on both Israeli and Palestinian sides.
“I truly believe that pummelling Gaza should help prevent the pointless cycle of violence from escalating,” he told reporters, following a night of deadly aerial assaults in response to the killing of three Israeli teenagers.
“Judging from the last 70 years of Arab-Israeli relations, there’s no conceivable way that laying waste to Gaza is going to incite more rocket attacks, leading to further airstrikes in a mindless, ever-spiralling orgy of death that will undoubtedly lead to a futile peace summit somewhere in Scandinavia,” he said.
“Hamas seem like reasonable people,” Netanyahu added. “I’m sure that once they see giant mushroom clouds of smoke rising across the landscape they’ll decide to calm down.”

Well, that was a "thank you & good night" moment.

Well Israel certainly didn't learn any lessons from their adventure in Lebanon.

It is amazing to me that kerry can get to the bathroom,"in the nick of time":wall:.
What is so sad, is that your observation is so spot on. They are legends in their own minds. It matters not what the outcome might be, in the view of the world. What is most important is the spin in any issue, and that it all fits the agenda that, " government is good, and that big government is better yet and neither is ever wrong". It makes me ill to think of all that is going on, unchecked
. I should stop now, before I get into trouble
:wall:.
Civilian deaths in Gaza, some observations.
"We phone up our enemies and tell them that we are going to blow up the building, we throw non-explosive munitions, and that is a sign they are supposed to vacate the building. Only once we have seen them vacate the building—and we are talking about [hitting] command and control places and not the terrorists themselves—then we hit."

Israel will win the battle but may lose the war.
True, it's not like they've been here before. But it's an interesting tactic, to inform the target that you're going to bomb them with time for them to leave, so the guys in the Hamas head shed tell them not to go but come back and be a human shield. :whatever:

Israel had public opinion at one point. 4 decades later of doing the same thing not so much and it's getting less even in the US.
That may well be the case, but how could anyone side with Hamas? Short of apathy people winding up taking sides at some point.
