Anyone see Benjamin Netanyahu on MSNBC Hardline?

Wow, this guy is right on the money. He's my new hero. He basically said if we sit on our arses and take crap from the wacko Taliban we are dead in the end.

Netanyahu is a personal favorite of mine as well- from as far back as when he was Isreals UN ambassador.

He personally knows the pain and suffering caused by the Terrorists (his brother was killed in the Entebbe mission ), and has the brains and the nerve to see what needs to be done

Yeah I half-listened. He knows what he's talking about; his country experiences this on (almost) a daily basis... just not on this level.

EDIT: Damned if I cannot type tonite!

If I remember correctly, Netanyahu was in the special forces and intelligence service. He knows what he's talking about from personal experience. Anyone remember the Black September attack on the Munich Olympic games? Israel's response will be a model for how the U.S. will respond.

In short, Israeli Mossad covertly tracked down and assassinated every person involved with that attack. It took them 15 years to do it, and they did it with minimal outside help, but they did it. For an excellent paper on how the Mossad accomplished this, see:

<< The only Israeli soldier who was killed was commander Yoni Netanyahu, brother of Israel's Prime Minister, Bibi Netanyahu >>


Background



Cubans from Miami were the first to actually bomb an airliner in flight. 06 October 1976, a Cubana Airlines plane was destroyed in flight killing all 73 people aboard. The Cuban Olympic fencing team was going to the PanAmerican games on that plane.

yeah, I am glad that Sheron who is a Netanyahu type is in charge in Israel. That Barak was a puzzy.

I listened to some exerpts from his speech this afternoon...he doesn't put up with any crap!

 

[thaRealest]

the guy is great... simple as that. Too bad he can't be president.
