Israel agrees to delay invasion of Gaza

[DudleySmith]

Lettin American boots on the Ground in Gaza would be the biggest Mistake Israel has ever made in a War

They've already held off on their offensive because fake PRez Dumbass wanted them to, which only allowed Hamas to dig in a little deeper and cost more Israeli lives. They need to quit listening to that criminally insane moron and get it done quickly. They're already shipping arms into the West Bank, and Jordan is going to need help as well. Do something really useful with those carrier task forces and take out what they can in Lebanon and Syria ASAP.

If has taught us anything, it's easier to get into a war than to get out of one.

That's because the West doesn't fight to win

That's because the West doesn't fight to win

We only fight to win if Enemy is White Folks ( People of Color get special rules of engagement )

Actually we shut down the Viet Cong as a major force in South Viet Nam within 3 years, so you're full of shit. Tet in '68 was a last desperate gasp, and they lost big time. The rest of the war was conducted by the North, Soviet Union, and REd China propping up the North, while you vermin cheered them on.

The irony is that we lost the war but won the peace. Vietnam is big trading partner or ours, a counterweight to China, and there are far worse governments in the world today.

Russia does and they can't even handle little Ukraine.

Uh no, we pulled out, then cut off funding for the South in 1975, while the Red Chinese and Soviets continued to fund the North. We were also propping up the Soviet economy at the time, a particularly stupid policy. The Watergate Babies then hooked up with the right wing technocrats and big biziness has been happy ever since, monopolies and chain stores are thriving, the middle class is disappearing and labor racketeering by mega corporations went global. WE know you're proud of that 'achievement' on both sides of the aisle.

Which is why they form alliances with other pieces of shit like Syria, Iran, and Red China. They already have the GOP shills babbling about 'Natzees!!!' n stuff in the Ukraine, and claiming we need to dump our allies at every whim of theirs.

How many Iraqis and US military died or were wounded in Fallujah and how long did that battle last?

he battle proved to be the bloodiest of the war and the bloodiest battle involving U.S. Marines since the Vietnam War.[59] Comparisons with the Battle of Hue City and the Pacific campaign of World War II were made. [60] Coalition forces suffered a total of 107 killed and 613 wounded during Operation Phantom Fury. U.S. forces had 54 killed and 425 wounded in the initial attack in November.[11] By 23 December when the operation was officially concluded, the casualty number had risen to 95 killed and 560 wounded.[12] British forces had 4 killed and 10 wounded in two separate attacks in the outskirts of Fallujah.[13][14] Iraqi forces suffered 8 killed and 43 wounded.[11] Estimates of insurgent casualties are complicated by a lack of official figures. Most estimates place the number of insurgents killed at around 1,200[61] to 1,500,[15] with some estimations as high as over 2,000 killed.[11][12] Coalition forces also captured approximately 1,500 insurgents during the operation.[15]

It's in Wiki!!

Certainly looking that way.

Again, you’re arguing past what I’ve said as if I hadn’t “spoken.”

Maybe we should have refrained from bombing mere population centers in Germany and Japan in WWII. Bombing their industrial centers and military sites was, obviously, something that was needed.

Nowadays, there are more sophisticated guidance systems which can help minimize “collateral damage.” But that only helps when the “enemy” are not cowardly scumbags who intentionally try to hide in civilian neighborhoods.

Which brings me back to my question. I’d love to know what the world expects Israel to do as opposed to what it’s doing? If Israel authorizes emergency supplies for the benefit of the Palestinian civilians, it is guaranteed that they suppliers for Hamas will smuggle in more weapons, more missiles, more launchers more paragliding equipment and so forth.

But if, to avoid that, Israel prevents “aid” convoys into Gaza, more innocent people will suffer the unbelievable miseries of this war.

There are no easy answers — especially given the scumbag nature of the evil enemy and the necessity of the Israeli government’s need to defend Iranian people.

Uhm. Oops. “the Israel government need to defend the Israeli people.”

You mean Iranians in Syria

Iran and Syria are allies against US aggression.
