About Gaza
Quote:
The US and Britain say Israel has a right to protect itself from rocket attacks from Hamas,
but warn about the dangers of the conflict escalating into a ground war,
as Obama says it would put Israeli soldiers at risk of death or injury.

Wow, Obama is not that dumb, uh?

You have to admit, that's a pretty
smart statement.
I never would have thought about that.
Sure glad there's such smart man in the White House.

Re: About Gaza
I think this whole escalation is Hamas and its main sugar daddy, Iran, testing the water to see if Obama is as weak on Israel as he appears to be.
It is scary to see how Egypt's new Islamic government has also been fanning the flames. Although today there were reports they were pushing for a cease fire. Perhaps it finally dawned on them that Eqypt has no oil income and gets a billion or so dollars per year from the USA in foreign aid that could dry up really fast.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: About Gaza
The Muslim Brotherhood, which controls Egypt, is not in the position they want before precipitating a war with Israel. They would actually wish to be in control of Jordan, Libya, Gaza, the West Bank, and Syria before launching their war with Israel. Currently, they have control in name only in Egypt, tentative positioning in Libya, firm control of Gaza, and nothing in the West Bank, Jordan, or Syria. With their militant arm controlling Gaza, they are not in a place of balance to be launching an attack. For their war to be truly effective, they would have to replace Bashir Assad in Syria. However, as Syria has devolved into stalemated civil strife, and Jordan's Hashemite ruling family in firm control, there are no other neighbors who can give Egypt the military support for war. This is why Egypt is pressing for a cease fire. It will only be good until the Muslim Brotherhood can establish themselves as the rulers of some of these other nations surrounding Israel. Look for them to make a push to replace Abbas in the West Bank, Assad in Jordan, gain more power in Libya, and possibly attempt an assassination against the king of Jordan (Hamas will claim responsibility if successful). Also, I believe they will attempt to solidify power in Egypt. They have at least another six months before they will be in position to actually wage war with Israel.

What did you expect him to say? He had to either state the obvious or nothing at all. Good grief. All presidents have made statements like that in the past regarding Israel.
