I think Israel will be restrained as far as trying to limit casualties to Hamas. But I don't think they will be halting in their mission and will complete it.
I just finished Ep III a few minutes ago. The parallels between the atrocities and actions committed by the Japanese in WWII and Hamas now are strikingly similar.
The imperialist Japanese back then were real m'fers. Nuking their ass after listening to what they did is understandable. Israel doing what they say they are going to do here is understandable.

My father left Tel Aviv in a Turkish airliner on Tuesday night our 10pm time (their early Wednesday morning)
He's stuck in Istanbul now until tomorrow.
I think Turkish airlines are the only ones still flying in and out. It was a scary situation
Points well taken. If the consideration of demonstration was discussed but discarded for legit reasons, I go back to my initial comment of no issue with the decisions taken.BQ_90 said:Sharpshooter said:I have often thought that dropping the first in Tokyo Bay thereby reducing casualties, and then offering Japan the opportunity to surrender, might have been the better oprion.

Not sure if Tokyo had POW near by, I know some targets were taken off the list because of risk of killing POWs. Also major reason why they didn't warn Japan if dropping the bomb, they where afraid,they'd pack the target with POWs
Though they had firebombed Tokyo, I read the decision to avoid dropping an atomic bomb on Tokyo was they did not want to kill Hirohito and that might have been wise given how things played out.Sharpshooter said:I have often thought that dropping the first in Tokyo Bay thereby reducing casualties, and then offering Japan the opportunity to surrender, might have been the better oprion.

This is where I've been from the moment I woke up to this news on Saturday morning. And my anger only increased when the reports came out of the execution of babies, the rapes and burnings of girls, the slaughter of the kids at the concert, and the murders of the old and infirm.one safe place said:That, and the thought of beheading babies, has me fine with them killing every living thing in Gaza. I don't care if they shoot them, burn them at the stake, torture them, or go Vlad the Impaler on them, they are not human and I am happy with all of them dying a slow and painful death.Rockdoc said:
Every time I see that video of the poor girl in the little SUV with the blood on her pants from being raped, my heart just breaks for her. She's probably dead by now.

Whats going on tonight are attacks at High Value Targets as they are presented. Usually SIGINT is what is helping with targeting at night.
To all those discussing killing innocent people in war. I've killed innocent people even when we tried everything we could to not have it happen. War sucks but when it's necessary you need to be willing to do what it takes to protect your people and eliminate the threat.
I'm aware and apologized for the mistake several hours ago.Sea Speed said:aggiehawg said:Later videos of her face down in the back of a truck with her legs at odd angles, suggest she died that day.Rockdoc said:

Watched the video, doesn't make it any less horrific but it looked like it could have been poop to me. Many women are taught to **** themselves to prevent rape. This doesn't in any way discount how horrible that video is.

A single data point, but I spotted an Omega 707-330C from my front yard this evening out on its way towards the Atlantic from Charleston. Nothing was following it, just more aerial refueling capability heading out towards whichever theater.
It was nice to see such a rare bird, but if contractors are being called out it sounds like things are going to be active for a while.
