re: #13 Hecuba’s daughter

I read elsewhere that the IDF warned Nuttinbutyahoo about moving the troops leaving the south open to attack and Bibi accusing the IDF of working with the left or some such wingnut-type response. Adam Silverman over at Balloon Juice has some excellent information about this attack from his perspective on all things military/political. He basically predicted this attack back in July as it would be militarily advantageous to attack at that time due to the movement to troops to the north/settlements.

Hell, I’m not Jewish nor live in Israel but every time I heard the Israeli government brag about Iron Dome protecting their country I couldn’t help but think “You’re being tested, the big one is coming”. Every time they thwarted an attack they gave Hamas more info on the system. Hamas eventually figured out what they would need to overwhelm the system and here we are today.

That this was ignored shows the hubris of those who thought they had this under control and now they are paying for it.
