Destroying the Palestinian fantasy

Strategy Page:

Over 3,000 have died as a result of the Palestinian war (or "Intifada), including 1,065 Israelis. But the Israeli casualties are down 70 percent in the last year. The Palestinians are dealing with the fact that their attempt to force a better peace deal via a massive terror campaign has failed. The Israeli counter-terrorism tactics and security wall have stopped most of the suicide bombing attacks. The Palestinians have not been able to exploit the victim status in the international media to gain useful allies against Israel. The Palestinians have also been hurt by the war on terror, as their terrorist attacks on Israelis do not play well to a global population made nervous by the growing threat of Islamic terrorism. Within the Palestinian community, anger over corruption, poverty (caused largely by the after-effects of the terrorist attacks) and infighting between different terrorist factions, has led to disunity and inability to put together any kind of peace deal. Moreover, the Palestinian terrorist organizations are still determined to destroy Israel. For the moment, the Palestinian situation appears hopeless. Eventually, some kind of solution will turn up. Unfortunately, no one yet knows what that solution will be.


Actually the solution is obvious, it is just one the Palestinians to date have not been willing to accept. Each time their fantasy of destroying Israel is destroyed they seek brand new ways to lose.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
