Ah, this coward will make sure that wherever he goes, he's surrounded by young boys and women. The splodeys love to use human shields.

a Hamas hardliner?? what does that mean, he wants to kill all Jews twice?

I've already purchased Rantisi a congratulatory gift: a giant catcher's mit. Just right for snagging those pesky helocopter launched missiles.

Okay, I finished reading the post. Is the bastard dead yet?

Congrats to Dr. Death in his elevation to #1 on th IDF hit list.

Can we start a pool on when he gets killed? Or possibly *how* Dr. Death gets his Wish?

With the proceeds going to a suitable charity, of course.

So first the nasty Israelis murder a helpless cripple, now they're gunning for a children's doctor? The horror!

/sarcasm

hmm, that soccer stadium was a target-rich environment. Couple of 1000-pounders would have mixed things up nicely.

Oh well.

Good for Latham some pre-emptive condemnation, it save time that way.

"a Hamas hardliner?? what does that mean, he wants to kill all Jews twice?"

Great minds...

I particularly liked the statement that Rantisi would be "temporarily assuming" leadership duties.

No shit Sherlock?

Whack Rantissi ASAP and see how many other idiots want to take on the leadership. I personaly will be keeping a cigar for when they off this fucker.

Who votes in these 'secret elections'? how do you get nominated? do they have branch stacking problems? Are there tussles between hardline Hamas members, who want to kill all jewish men, women and children, and moderates, who only want to kill the men, children and women? The people want answers!
My suggestion would be that only people who have succesfully participated in a suicide bombing be allowed to vote..

No need to murder just to to stop murder.
Surely just the suggestion that Abdel Aziz Rantisi would be taken to the pain would have the desired effect.
To the pain sounds about right for anyone who follows through on the notion that guns and bombs being directed at fellow human beings should be encouraged.
No matter what the ism, religion or political system any murderer is touting.

"I don't support the things Hamas has done in the future."

Maddog is such a forward thinker.

Dont get to exited about Rantisi getting whached guys. Israel allways backs of just as it starts making ground.

MARK LATHAM: Say the election was in September and there was a change of government, we'd be hoping to have them back by Christmas, certainly.

Hasn't Latham made us a VERY attractive target for Al-Qaeda now that he's said he'll pull the troops out of Iraq if he's elected?
If there is a terrorist attack before our election and Latham comes to power, then, just like spain, pulls the troops out, its going to give the impression that the coalition is a falling house of cards, surely this is EXACTLY what Bin Laden wants and will move heaven and earth to achieve?

Israel should not hold back in taking this guy out.

Given that, apparently, the Pali's are at their maximum level of outrage, they aren't going to get any worse.

Eliminate Hamas from the top down.

WORLD SAVED FROM TERRORISM BY SNARKY PEACENIK

Hamas, Al Qaeda and all fronts of the Islamist terror war hung up their burkas today after being threatened with pain by an anonymous internet poster referencing a scene from the movie The Princess Bride.

"To think, all we had to do was threaten to hurt them but not kill them," an ashamed President Bush said this evening, "I guess violence never did solve anything. I mean, unless you threaten it."

LOL Sortelli! :D

The umbrella of resistance meets the sewing machine of regret, as all too often happens.

Isn't Hamas for the peace process? Bloody hell, I'm disappointed.

(No comment. Just wondering if Sincerity Slips is always all talk, no action.)

Still no sign of him regarding Yassin as a deformed character. Priorities, priorities...

Doctors in politics: Abdel Aziz Rantisi, Che Guevara, Duvailer of Haiti and Dean.

Include the PhDs and the list dosen't get any better.

And how come a refugee settlment has a soccer stadium?

Rantisi: just a curbside prophet with his hands in his pockets, and he's waiting for his rocket to come.

(Hope it gets there soon.)

Message to the IDF and GSS:

“And now beware of rashness. Beware of rashness but with energy and ceaseless vigilance, go forward and give us victories.”

Abraham Lincoln, April, 1863

Update:

The IDF just caught a 12 year old boy at a roadblock wearing a bomb belt.

12 YEARS OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Given that, apparently, the Pali's are at their maximum level of outrage

No, i think it could be driven higher. In fact, get a few in a row, including Arafat, and you might be able to induce a collective Palestinian stroke at the post-hit rallies ...

Latham's promise to withdraw troops has made us more of a target.

A few voters will realise it, but how will the media react ?

Where will be the headlines saying "Australia is a bigger target since Latham announcement"

Will the newspapers be quoting intelligence officials who suggest that the risk of terrorism is increased by several orders of magnitude since Mark Latham made his announcement ?

Nope. I wrote a letter to the ABC yesterday asking them why they don't have any headlines about Latham's announcement, and why they have no critical analysis of it.

No answer yet.

This Rantisi... is same person as 'Ratso Rantisi' from Eastside? yes?

Oh, Sortelli, you little kidder!

No time to talk shop, SS! Go forth! Save the world with your love!!!

Jesus tells His disciples: "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. For if you love only those who love you, what reward is there in that?"

Sincerity Slips:

I do love our enemy (and thanks for noticing that we do have an enemy); and so does George Bush. That's why he is embarking on a difficult and risky strategy putting coalition forces at greater risk in order to avoid mass extermination of Muslims via Belmont Club #3. Tough love by Christians is often mistaken for no love.
