Israel: Free Hostage Or We'll Assassinate Your Prime Minister
Ace of Spades

Israel apparently got a motivational speech from the Alec Baldwin character in Glengarry Glen Ross.

You know what it takes to fight terrorism? It takes brass balls to fight terrorism.

"ISRAEL last night threatened to assassinate Palestinian Prime Minister Ismael Haniyeh if Hamas militants did not release a captured Israeli soldier unharmed. The unprecedented warning was delivered to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in a letter as Israel debated a deal offered by Hamas to free Corporal Gilad Shalit.

It came as Israeli military officials readied a second invasion force for a huge offensive into Gaza.

Hamas's Gaza-based political leaders, including Mr Haniyeh, had already gone into hiding.

But last night's direct threat to kill Mr Haniyeh, a democratically elected head of state, sharply raised the stakes."

Waaaah... but if we do things like this, we lose to the terrorists!

No, if we lose to the terrorists we lose to the terrorists. If we kill the terrorists, we win.

Duh.
