2. How many soldiers were realy happy
Vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (01.19.09)
with Baraks visit? If he went in from the first rocket, neither Shalit or a lot of people would have been injured or killed on both sides. As a mother I am sickened by his slimey toady visit, He still would not get my vote - never in a trillion years.
3. Heroes !!
Tunisian ,   Tunisia   (01.19.09)
Heroes !!! Launching bombs from thousands feets down. With no discrimination... Blindly... And their infantry and artillery retreating as soon as it started to get into the land... Heroes ! LMAO
4. LOOSER
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (01.19.09)
Again you a lost a battle , because you are a weakling. Your own soldiers wanted to finish the job , but as usual you stopped them. So stop boasting and spinning the truth , with help of our corrupt media. We are not fooled by your B.S.
5. Shameless Weasel Alert
Gideon Reader   (01.19.09)
...sounded as Barak entered the medical facility. We used a heave fist. No. Make that an Iron fist. Wait! Olmert said that. We gave then a mighty blow. Hold it. Livni is in into the blow thing. On my behalf, and maybe because I am short(as many may have noticed) I say we have deterred them and there is calm. Or maybe clam, because we have done, et., etc., sacrifice, etc., and performance, which is what I am doing right now.
6. barak finishing his public service
Arie ,   BaGolan   (01.19.09)
When you were a soldier, you fought vaiantly! But as a politician you are a dismal failure. In three weeks, when you are retired by the citizens of the State of Israel for non-performance (or some might say worse!) we will try and only remember your military days. HOWEVER, if Shalit is not home, we will remember you, along with livni, olmert, ashkenazi, and vilnai as the ones that murdered him and expect you to be held accountable!
7. What deterrence
Abdallah ,   Amman   (01.19.09)
you call the crimes of killing more than 1,300 civilains mostly women and children and wounding more than 6,000 and destroying homes, universities, sports clubs, mosques, hospitals, UN buildings and civilain infrastructures a deterrence. It is cowardness, you didn't face a real army, your IDF was playing Play Station and Nintendo war games from their sophisticated horrible weapons against flesh and blood fighters. Also for the past eight years you made dozens of massacres with your incursions and airstrikes, you forgot this Mr. Barak. Shame on you!!!!!
8. This op only bought us a little time.
yehuda ,   Holit, Israel   (01.19.09)
Within the year we will have to do it all over again. I have lost all faith in Kadima and Labor. You again failed to listen to the people. Now you will pay this election.
9. What Barak really meant to say was
Matityahu ,   Slovenia   (01.19.09)
"Thank you guys for your sacrifice, you've been wounded for nothing, your comrades have been killed for nothing, Shalit is dead to me and Hamas is still in power. I also expect you to fight, get wounded and killed in the future, solely for the purpuse of the Labor and Kadima! So thank you guys and please smile while we're taking pictures."
10. Wait 2 weeks to see Israeli Deterence,Got Shalit back?
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (01.19.09)
If they were "detered" they would immediately hand over Shalit back, at least his bones in bags-just Olmert managed last time to get from Hizbullah, It seems Hamas member are not aware of your deterance!
11. You should thank God!!!!1
Muhammad Ahmad ,   Shraqiyya, Egypt   (01.19.09)
To the soldier who said "In my opinion, we didn't achieve what we wanted." You should thank God that you have not captivated like Shalit, You should tell your leaders "Enough, enough telling lies, enough you should admit that we are defeated in the battle".
12. barak
elliot ,   usa   (01.19.09)
his puffing and posturing cannot please soldiers in hospitals or anywone else---wars are not won by speeches but by brains
13. #7 Black September wasnt a crime? 10,000 dead?
Jjjay333 ,   Israel   (01.19.09)
14. If we were given more time
Chaya ,   Bat Yam   (01.19.09)
We could destroy them totally!!
15. "We didnt achieve what we wanted" . The lefty gov. snatched
Jae ,   Lynn USA   (01.19.09)
victory from the jaws of defeat. Not surprising. they leave a legacy of intense failure and damage in their wake, failed wars, CHRONIC and Continuous terror on civilians. Gov doesnt stand up for its southern citizens suffering rampant PTSD, until its too little, too late. Vote Feiglin into the Likud and bring back the Jewishness and the real, continual, pride to Israel.
