Amos harel, Barak Ravid and Avi Issacharoff, Haaretz Correspondents and News Agencies: Army readies for 'limited' Gaza action as 22 mortars hit Negev
Talkback
Title:Slowest army in the world = IDF
Name:Steven
City: State: United Kingdom
Apart from the British "Army" (loosely defined of course), Israel has the slowest military in the world. `Last minute preparations` always seem to take days, and then Olmert ends up changing his mind anyway and no attack takes place. Result: Hamas is strengthened and Israel looks even more weak and incompetent.
Then again, I don`t think it helps when George Bush and Condescending Rice get on the telephone and tell Israel not to retaliate to any attack, because it might mess up U.S. plans.
