Will Gaza be Lebanon redux?
WASHINGTON — Israel’s leaders have purposely obscured their war aims in Gaza. But there are only two possible endgames: (A) a Lebanon-like cessation of hostilities to be supervised by international observers, or (B) the disintegration of Hamas rule in Gaza.
Under tremendous international pressure — including from an increasingly wobbly U.S. State Department — the government of Ehud Olmert has begun hinting that it is receptive to a French-Egyptian cease-fire plan, essentially acquiescing to Endgame A.
That would be a terrible mistake.
It surely would. It would hand Muslim terrorist swine another ill-gotten victory, not through the force of arms they so obnoxiously bray about (and use from the security of civilian population centers, mosques, hospitals, and schools — a war crime unmentioned by self-righteous liberal jackasses who’d like to see Bush and Cheney swing from a DC lamp post), thereby emboldening them, and assuring the chaos they create in Israeli cities will continue. That ought to be unacceptable, period. We’ll see.
