Oh Mr. Prime Minister, Hellfire Missile For You on Line One

This is really great stuff...if only our own politicians had the testicular fortitude and backbone to take our enemies, both foreign and domestic, at their word when they say they mean to destroy us by any means necessary. Captain Ed at Captain's Quarters says it better than I, but Israel is dead on correct with their response. After being showered with rockets, threatened with chemical weapons, having one citizen murdered in cold blood, and having a soldier kidnapped for use in an extortion attempt to secure the release of terrorist prisoners, they have apparently decided that Hamas means business when they say their goal is the destruction of Israel. Having already rounded up several Cabinet ministers in response to the kidnapping, sending a Hellfire missile into the office of the lead terrorist, er, I mean, "Prime Minister", of Hamas, sends the appropriate message that no one is safe if any harm comes to the abducted Israeli soldier. To borrow and modify a quote from Wyatt Earp in "Tombstone", "Hamas has called down the thunder boy, and now they've got it. Tell them the IDF is coming, and Hell is coming with them!"
