Hamas Digging Tunnels for Next Battle with Israel

While Israel's leadership is daily revealed to be spending its time focused on lining its own pockets, Hezbollah is planting bombs on the Israeli side of the border (under the nose of the UNIFIL 'disarmament force') and Hamas is preparing sophisticated underground assaults from Gaza. Olmert's financial response to Hamas' openly genocidal intentions have been an utter fraud. All of these events have traspired exactly as predicted on IRIS.

Hamas is setting up a new military infrastructure for a serious confrontation with Israel.

It is digging combat tunnels, improving rocket performance and quantity, and collecting weapons, mainly antitank and antiaircraft missiles through smuggling.

The tunnels will allow mobility underground to the expected points of battle with IDF forces entering Gaza.

The fighters will be able to surface quickly, launch missiles or rockets, and disappear, only to surprise IDF forces at another spot.

The tunnels are also meant to hold explosive devices that would be detonated when IDF forces try to enter Gaza.

Tunnels could also be used to infiltrate Israeli territory.

The solution? A leader like Rudy Giuliani who gets two things:

1. The West does not have the option of 'disengaging' from the Global Jihad. They are at war with us and we have only to choose whether to join the battle as passive victims or as active combatants.

2. In this war, we need to be on offense.

Meanwhile, only free-market conservatives are proposing sensible new solutions for advancing Israel's interests.

See here for Daniel Doron's insight that Iran's statist economy is hopelessly overextended and thus quite sensitive to economic pressure.

See here for Caroline Glick's column explaining how a larger understanding of the Global Jihad could be used by jihad victims like Israel and Kenya to influence Bush's "going wobbly" in the war on terror.
