#2 I love this shit: "perilously close" - isn't that just precious?

Okay. Enough of that phoolishness: being forced to hold vewy vewy still while the other guys never quit shooting.

Deport Tool-Phoolsâ¢. Revoke credentials of the biased Press outlets. Total Paleo Lockdown. Do The BIG Wallâ¢. Heap ridicule on anyone who says there ever was or ever will be a truce or peace as long as there is a PA, or Hamas, or Hezbollah, or Al Aqsa, et al.

#3 There goes the road map. The WOT futures predicted 3 months. Looks like it will be less than that.

#4 From the Fox story is this jewel:
"Who was the [Israeli] fool who took this decision?" a Palestinian source told Fox News. "We [the Palestinians] were at the final stages of preparing a massive operation against these brutes," but the assassination destroyed Palestinian efforts to police themselves, he added.

Yup. We were this close and you went and fucked it up. Uh, huh, Right.

I nominate "We were this close!" for the Paleo group headstone. True enough - Just about 3 years ago, Sept 2000, they had the world eating out of their hands. Then they started the intifada. This time? Nawwww. The only thing that was close was the rocket that missed RantSissy.

Notice that none of the quotes come from him? Betcha he's holed up in his bestest safehouse and damned few people know where that is. C'mon, man, come on out and play, this is what you wanted, come and get some of it.

#6 Little Green Footballs notes that the Fox story refers to the IDF as "Israeli militants" instead of "military."

That one sailed right past me!

#7 Mike - seems that was either AP bias (they contributed on the story) or a FU. It was corrected
