1. I do wish sarkozy would shut up he is getting boring
zionist forever   (03.16.11)
Taking small towns is one thing but Benghazi will be another matter. Take that and you will put down the rebellion but that will take alot more than 48 hours. There is also now the little issue of the increased pressure on Obama to call for a no fly zone and when that happens Gaddafi will loose his air coverage and and he will have to go on the defensive. Without the no fly zone fighting will continue until the rats are wiped out with a no fly zone the fighting will go on for at least another week anyway. The idea it can all be done on 48 hours is wishful thinking. The thing the Gadaffi boys should be worrying about is finding a ship to get them to Venesula when they know its all over. Their father might be mad and want to fight it till the end but the sons wants to enjoy whats in their swiss bank accounts in exile.
2. Why Israel Can Never Make Peace
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (03.16.11)
The fact is if Gaddafi is successful in his comeback from the abyss, then we see why any peace deal Israel signs, MUST as a first priority, have Israel's security needs addressed completely. We have witnessed the world stand by and do exactly nothing, while Gaddafi did whatever he wanted suppress the protests. Now what do think the other Arab countries will to their protesters? The answer, whatever the hell they want, because the world will do nothing to stop dictators from killing their own people to stay in power. The fact is this, ask yourself this question, would Mubarak still be in power if he had used brutal force? We'll never know, plus his army may not have backed him with that anyway? Other dictators were far more murderous so with their backs to the wall, and an army that would be put on trial, they had nowhere to run (because no country would take them), so with nothing to lose that changed the equation. They could kill without worry, because they were dead men walking anyway if they lost. The population would have hung them all as criminals (if they were lucky) there are much more painful ways to die. But I digress, the point is if a peace treaty is ever broken with Israel and they are attacked, there is nobody in the world coming to help. So Israel needs to be armed to the teeth and be the only nuke powered country in the region. If you give a Arab a nuke, they don't care. To kill all the Jews in Israel, even if they lost 200 million of there own people they would consider that a victory. Once you understand that logic the peace treaty idea really is a farce.

Taking small towns is one thing but Benghazi will be another matter. Take that and you will put down the rebellion but that will take alot more than 48 hours. COULD BE - BUT - DO YOU BELIEVE THE REBELLS WILL STAY IN BENGHAZI TO FIGHT TO THEIR DEATH - ? - WILL THEY NOY LEAVE FOR EGYPT INSTEAD - ?. There is also now the little issue of the increased pressure on Obama to call for a no fly zone and when that happens Gaddafi will loose his air coverage and and he will have to go on the defensive. COMMENT - I DONT THINK SO - IF THAT NO -FLY ZONE EVENTUALLY IS IMPLEMENTED, THE GHADAFFI FORCES ARE ALREADY IN BENGHAZI IN CLOSE COMBAT WITH THE REBELLS, IF THE REBELLS HAS STAYED TO FIGHT TO THE END - I DOUBT. IF THE NO-FLY ZONE IS IMPLEMENTED WERY QUIK, GIVING THE REBELLS THE IMPRESSION THE COULD WIN, HOW MANY TENS OF THOUSENDS OF PEOPLE WILL THEN DIE IN THE FIGHT FOR BENGHAZI, IN COMPARISON TO NO NO-FLY ZONE, AND THE REBELLS LEAVE FOR EGYP - ?. Without the no fly zone fighting will continue until the rats are wiped out with a no fly zone the fighting will go on for at least another week anyway. The idea it can all be done on 48 hours is wishful thinking. COMMENT - AS ABOVE !. The thing the Gadaffi boys should be worrying about is finding a ship to get them to Venesula when they know its all over. Their father might be mad and want to fight it till the end but the sons wants to enjoy whats in their swiss bank accounts in exile. zionist forever (03.16.11 WELL - COULD BE BUT - I DONT THINK GHADAFFI WILL LOSE. Orao.Srbia.
5. ISRAEL SHOULD NOT BOW TO PRESSURE
Diamond Tom ,   lagos, Nigeria   (03.16.11)
Security must be paramount to any negotiation with Arabs because the UN,Europe and America will not take responsibility for Israel security in the advent of any crisis.They will only express sympathy and do nothing,in todays world we are seeing such international irresponsibility in global crisis.
6. taking care of business....
les ,   canada   (03.16.11)
DEAR MR PRIME MINISTER. I WISH YOU WOULD INVITE MR AHMADINUT AND MR AL-ISLAM TO TEACH US HOW TO HANDLE OUR MORTAL ENEMIES. LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A LOT TO LEARN ABOUT SURVIVAL.
7. Libya example
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (03.16.11)
To the Zionists: Take a look at Gaddafi's forthcoming victory and see your future. What is happening in Libya today is coming your way by a combined Iranian-Arab force unless you dissolve your illegitimate state and hand the Holy Land to the UN to sort things out. That's your choice: handover or obliteration.
8. israel should cut a secret deal with kaddify
meyer ,   holland/israel   (03.16.11)
