I am so glad that Defense Minister Peretz managed to stop all the Kassam missile attacks today, not to mention foiling the attempted kidnappings, because that gave him time to give the army priority orders to make dismantling outposts “within the next 2 weeks” their first priority.

It reminds me of when other leftist Israeli governments would find Israel under terrorist attacks over the years. They would then strike “back” at some completely unrelated substitute Arab enemy (usually in Lebanon) – presumably because they knew where that enemy actually was and it was safer to attack them instead of the real attackers.

As long as Peretz's priorities are straight, we can sleep at night – unless you live in the south.
