But isn't Israel a 'permanent foothold'? I guess you want all them jews
run into the sea and executed...

The war was quick and hassle free. Its hanging on to the peace that is
a bitch, and defeatists like you don't help any.

Why does anybody do anything? For money of course, like France's
Total/ELF oil conglomerate, the largest oil company in Iraq....

rogue states threaten others what could happen if... keep up that consistency.
