4bear,
I agree that the IDF General quoted in the DEBKAFILE was off the mark stating the USA is placating. Those of us who monitor the war on terrorism beyond the pop media know we are kicking ass. The IDF knows it too. I think his statements were an attempt to encourage more action on the right and to appease the american left in one swoop. It's obvious to me that the Arab culture needs to be kept entangled in their own guts. Steady as she goes.

you start thinking you know everything,
but, of course you know nothing. The second
stage is when you realize you don't know anything,
the third stage is when you have learned a bit,
but realize you will never know it all"
