@Bob,
In point of fact Gov. Patterson, the man who is making the appointment, is legally blind.

If they appoint Caroline instead of Bill, tht means that Bill will be free to wreak havoc elsewhere, very possibly against Obama.

Good.

one would have to be blind to go ahead and appoint her to Hillary’s seat.

When was blindness ever a bar to a political appointment? She can deliver the trade routes, so to speak.

I’m bettin’ on Princess U no.

@Bob(110): I am amazed that some still believe that Princess Caroline is a likely replacement for Hillary’s vacant Senate seat. She has demonstrated little interest in politics up until very recently, and her public statements are, or ought to be, an embarrassment to any who would promote her. Her interview on CBS last week so disqualified her that one would have to be blind to go ahead and appoint her to Hillary’s seat.

I want the same Jews in Texas as who built the Wall between the Palestinians and Israel. Not fake video-camera-watching wall, but a big high mean-looking sucker that SCREAMS, “Stay out, you drab little unwanted troglodytes! We don’t want you here and if you try to come over me, Very Bad Things will happen to you. Guaranteed.”

Israel has an historic opportunity due to global events and the nature of the Hamas movement that will not be wasted.

Aside from the lame duck timing of this operation, there are some global reasons that are causing the Palestinian apologists to fall on deaf ears worldwide: The election of Barak Obama was a worldwide phenomenon which has been pushed as a global end of outrage. We’re NOT SUPPOSED to be outraged in the wake of this historic event. We’ve paid for our vacation from outrage with eight years of dedicated collective anger at Bush, which finally paid off with the election of Obama. Halleluja. Also, the growing acceptance of US victory in Iraq has demonstrated that overwhelming military force can work against an intrenched, determined Arab enemy. The US has set an example for ignoring global cries of foul-play in the interest of victory.

There is something detached about the worldwide coverage of the situation in Gaza. Everyone in the world has a live feed of what’s going on, smartly led by the Israeli’s themselves. This gives Israel the first opportunity to frame the coverage as evidence of Hamas dangers being acted upon rather than ‘clandestine-like’ operations which are soon afterward exposed.

Hamas is in a catch-22 with the rockets. The option of stopping the rocket attacks is off the table for them due to their ‘we never stop’ stance. It would be seen as a humiliation to even pause the rocketing while Israeli attacks continue. Less options is not good strategically and Israel is taking great advantage of Hamas’ lack thereof. Hamas seems to have whipped itself up into overconfidence with the Hezbolla victory looming large in it’s collective memory.

Will the Israeli public be able to stomach war casuaties? I say yes. This is a window of military/political opportunity that Israel is not likely to see again soon.
