GIULIANI CONSIDERS WHITE HOUSE RUN.

DONALD RUMSFELD TO APPEAR ON 'LETTERMAN'.

"WITH [HAMAS] THERE IS NO PEACE PROCESS.' THERE IS A WAR PROCESS."

The cutthroats of Hamas, like Jack the Ripper in his infamous letter to a London paper, have informed their pursuers that they shan’t quit ripping till they do get buckled. Islamic Jihad took potshots at departing settlers, and even attempted a suicide bombing on the first day of evacuations, which Israel intercepted. But another bomber did make it through on the Sunday after withdrawal, maiming 10 in the city of Be’er Sheva. With these groups there is no “peace process.” There is a war process. Israel must meet the next wave of Palestinian shootings, stabbings, rocket attacks, and suicide bombings with retaliation swift and fierce.

But this time around, after withdrawal, Israel need only concern itself with attacking, not defending, in Gaza. Nor can Palestinian aggressors dupe anyone with claims about “resistance to occupation.” (Or maybe they can.) Masked Palestinian “fighters” parade in the streets as if disengagement was prompted by their labors. Let them turn their guns on Israeli soldiers and see what ensues.

As I've noted, "There is no such thing as terrorism: if your civilians are getting killed, you're in a war."

Blogosphere Support for New Orleans Flood Victims Planned for this Thursday

"Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan's Bush-bashing protest has apparently backfired, with a slight plurality of Americans saying her antics have actually made them more likely to support the Iraq war, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll released Tuesday.
