Hamas is ramping up the fight against Israel once again:
JERUSALEM – A truce Hamas made with Israel in Gaza last November is “officially over,” Hamas leaders told WND today, threatening to send suicide bombers into Tel Aviv if the Jewish state retaliates for a major attack carried out this morning.
In “response,” despite already having been attacked by Hamas on Tuesday:
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s government is attempting to minimize a major Hamas attack launched from the Gaza Strip today and has directed the Israeli army to limit its response despite growing signs Hamas is preparing for a large-scale confrontation with the Jewish state, Israeli military sources charged.
Hamas fired 39 Qassam rockets and 79 mortars from the Gaza Strip aimed at nearby Jewish communities on the 24th.
Is Israel losing the will to even defend itself?
Stateside, are WE losing the will to defend ourselves against domestic attacks once again?
The House has scheduled a vote today on a bill that would require U.S. troops to begin pulling out of Iraq by October 1st. Democratic leaders predict they will have enough votes to pass the legislation and send it on to President Bush for his promised veto.
Who shall win?
And who shall lose?
Is it melodramatic to say that the fate of nations hangs in the balance?

Think about how many problems could be solved with one bomb.
I hope Israel has the balls to stand against Hamas, that last little dust-up in Lebanon wasn’t quite up to their normal fighting ability…
The Dems are gonna get their chickenshit bill passed, Bush is gonna veto it and the troops are still gonna be on the ground in Iraq, getting killed as they “referee a civil war” as one of my contacts told me this AM…
His quote, “Hell man, we’re NOT in a win or lose situation anymore Fred, all we’re doing is basically being a referee between several factions that hate US as bad as they hate each other…”
I mean, if I had contacts, if I wasn’t a fake everything, right??
You know it. The Dems WILL pass their bill, the veto will occur, and more ambiguity will reign. And the waffling will continue. And no one will make a decision to RAMP UP the ordnance. But we’re at a tipping point and things WILL fall, one way or the other. Either THEIR will shall prevail, our OUR will shall prevail.

We’re going to reach the point where we have Hamas terrorists with AK’s riding in technicals through the streets of America while celebrating the destruction of Israel and the Dems will want to subsidize their gasoline.
The whole Iraq war makes me wonder if perhaps we shouldn’t just pull out, turn Iraq and Iran 10,000 degrees and call it a day.
The Donks are perfectly willing to fight.
Just not against our enemies.
The collapse of the United States would fit their agenda perfectly.
Shoprat: yes; and they’d be the FIRST to be eliminated.
