Israel Watch: Israeli War with Hamas Inevitable?
A Palestinian miltant from Hamas stands guard in front of a mural showing the late Fatah leader Yasser Arafat outside his former compound and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ office that was taken over two days ago by Hamas, in Gaza City, Saturday, June 16, 2007. The United States strengthened its offer of support for President Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday, telling him an international aid embargo against the Palestinians would end as soon as he forms a new government without Hamas, aides to Abbas and a Western diplomat said.
ISRAEL’s new defence minister Ehud Barak is planning an attack on Gaza within weeks to crush the Hamas militants who have seized power there.
According to senior Israeli military sources, the plan calls for 20,000 troops to destroy much of Hamas’s military capability in days.
The raid would be triggered by Hamas rocket attacks against Israel or a resumption of suicide bombings.
Barak, who is expected to become defence minister tomorrow, has already demanded detailed plans to deploy two armoured divisions and an infantry division, accompanied by assault drones and F-16 jets, against Hamas.
Israel cannot tolerate an active terrorist Hamas on its border.
And who is responsible for encircling Israel, america’s ally in the Global War on Terror with aggressive terrorist supporting states – Hezbollah in the North and Hamas in the West and Syria?

Iran Nuclear Watch: Lieberman Repeats Call for Military Action Against Iran
Connecticut Gov. M. Jodi Rell, wearing special glasses, tries out the controls in a flight simulator that duplicates the air-to-air refueling controls of the proposed Boeing KC-767 Advanced Tanker aircraft, at the Pratt & Whitney Aircraft jet engine plant in East Hartford, Conn., Friday, June 15, 2007, as Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., also wearing the special glasses, watches. Lieberman and Rell were at a rally at the jet engine plant to support the Boeing-Pratt & Whitney team in the U.S. Air Force’s KC-X Tanker Competition.
Lieberman Repeats Calls For Military Action In Iran
Sen. Joe Lieberman repeated his call Friday for the United States to use “limited military action†against Iranian camps suspected of being used to train and equip terrorists who are killing coalition troops in Iraq.
Speaking to reporters after an appearance at a rally supporting jet engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney’s competition for a military contract, Lieberman said U.S. diplomatic efforts are important, but military action also must be an option.
Military action should be limited to halting Iranian training of terrorism, not to eliminate possible nuclear sites, though force could also stem Iran’s nuclear ambitions, he said.
“If we don’t figure out first through diplomacy and, if necessary, through limited military action how to stop the Iranians from killing Americans and our Arab allies today it’s going to be impossible for us to do what everybody in both parties and all ideologies say we have to do tomorrow, which is to stop them from getting nuclear weapons,†he said.
“Iran has effectively begun to carry out military action against American soldiers and a lot of our allies in the Arab world and if we just sit back they’re going to continue to move forward,†he said. “They’re going to take it as a sign of weakness.â€
Lieberman first raised the issue of military strikes on Sunday. He said Friday he did so to introduce the matter into policy discussions in Washington and “to ask everybody to open their eyes to what’s happening elsewhere in the Middle East.â€
Agreed and like Lieberman said the first time.
Now, if the Bush White House would only stop their focus on illegal immigration and pay attention to Iran.
The United States is in a “PROXY WAR” and needs to bitch slap the Iranians, including their nuclear facilities.
Apparently, there is some debate within the White House about an Iran strategy.
The time is now, Mr. President.
