There may be hope for the three Israeli POWs today as Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, no doubt smarting from widespread criticism for failure to secure their release under UN Resolution 1701, has directed former Shin Bet Deputy Chief Ofer Dekel to work for their release.
Meanwhile Benjamin Netanyahu, leader of the Likud opposition, called a spade a spade during a speech last night before the Knesset, saying, "We were asleep and we received a wake-up call."
Netanyahu said that the "doctrine of unilateral withdrawals had proven to be a failure."
"In 2000, we withdrew from Lebanon without guarantees and without security agreements, and this action brought about Hizbullah's speech about spider webs, which was adopted by Hamas. The resulting Intifada made us decide, out of pain and out of good will, to withdraw unilaterally once more," Netanyahu said.
"These unilateral withdrawals deteriorate our deterrence, and lend credence to our enemies, a credence that improves their ability to bombard our cities and towns. This concept (of unilateral withdrawals) is now disappearing, and rightly so," he added.
Fifth columnist has been Mike Wallace (with an able assist by Rathergate network, CBS) has outdone himself with his fawning, ass-kissing "interview" with Iranian despot Mahmoud Ahmadinewhackjob. There are simply no depths to which this anti-American stooge will not crawl.
However, there are those of us with a very long memory who can recall Wallace's expressed willingness to coldly stand by and see American troops slaughtered.
Back in '87 on PBS (of course) Wallace and other leftist propaganda merchants like the dirt-napping Peter Jennings took part in a "townhall meeting" regarding journalism and the military.
Responding to a hypothetical situation, "Wallace proclaimed that if he were traveling with enemy soldiers he would not warn U.S. soldiers of an impending ambush. 'Don't you have a higher duty as an American citizen to do all you can to save the lives of soldiers rather than this journalistic ethic of reporting fact?', moderator Charles Ogletree Jr. suggested. Without hesitating, Wallace responded: No, you don't have higher duty...you're a reporter." Jennings had already answered, saying he would warn his countrymen, but spinelessly reversed himself after being chided by Wallace.
That's what Wallace and his ilk think of your sons and daughters, America; you just keep watching him and CBS.
That was 20 years ago and I still wouldn't have a problem putting a boot in his 88-year-old throat.
Meanwhile, President Bush, fresh off his political capitulation to Iranbollah, is drooling again. "We live in troubled times, but I'm confident in our capacity to not only protect the homeland, but I'm confident in our capacity to leave behind a better world," he said during a visit to the Pentagon.
"Troubled times"... really? Good gawd, that's worse than the average high school graduation speech. With such inspiring verbiage it's no wonder people watch American Idol instead of him.
As history moves into its most critical phase in the last 65 years, we are a nation divided by that which would have never been an issue in earlier times. Typical anti-America rhetoric which routinely oozes out of the dem party, for example, would have been unthinkable a half century ago.
The summer soldiers and the sunshine patriots are untrustworthy and our people are lazy and fat, both physically and intellectually. Millions have allowed themselves to be lulled into a fantasy world devoid of organized psychotic murderers in which they believe, like Wallace, that their own country is at fault.
