Iraq Condemns Israel

It turns out that Iraq, the democracy and ally in the war on terrorism we are building at great cost in American blood and treasure, has sided with Hamas against Israel -- the latter a real democracy, real ally, and real opponent of Islamic terrorism. Of course, the agents of Iranian influence inside Iraq think the Iraqi government isn't anti-Israel enough. (Hat tip: Andy McCarthy.)

No kidding, after all it is a democracy and the majority of its citizens think Hamas is a brave, bold, daring, "resistance movement" and Israelis are hook nosed "occupiers". But enough about France.

The blood and treasure we have spent on Iraq has taken Iraq from a country that had already demonstrated it would blow off Scud missiles at Israel for no reason whatsoever and was working on weapons of mass destruction to a country that goes along with the prevailing francoleftist blather. That's an improvement from Israel's perspective.

The blood of all of our boys, the heartache of their families, the blood of Iraqis and the heartache of their families, for this?

I can't tell you how sick I am to read this.

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

This fighting will not stop until one side is victorious militarily. Until that happens… expect more skirmishes and incursions.

Israel should default hamas once and for all while they have a sympathetic Whitehouse.

I am sad to say that Jew-hatred has been so ingrained in most Arabs that the war in Iraq and our efforts there will likely be for naught, vis a vis Israel and Jews. It will take generations - if it happens at all - for Arabs to get beyond their indoctrinated views.

Unfortunately, I can't say I'm surprised. A pox on all their houses.
