U.S. Troops May Have to Go After Hamas, Lawmaker

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A leading Republican lawmaker said on Sunday U.S. forces may have to help "root out terrorism" in the Middle East conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, including taking aim at Hamas.

In an interview on "Fox News Sunday," Sen. Richard Lugar, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said American forces might be part of an international force to help stop attacks by Hamas, the main group behind a campaign of suicide bombings against Israelis, and other groups.

Hamas has said it would reject any peace deal between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

Lugar said such a force could be used to quell Israeli and Palestinian disputes, "and, maybe even more important, to root out the terrorism that is at the heart of the problem."

Asked if that meant such troops would go after Hamas or other groups, he said, "That may be the conclusion."

"...It may not be just Hamas but clearly Hamas is right in the gunsights," he added.

"DON'T UNDERESTIMATE PRESIDENT BUSH"

"...The terrorist aspect really has to be dealt with and that's why I say don't underestimate President Bush," Lugar said.

Lugar is headed to the region next week and said he, as well as top U.S. officials, would be there seeking to halt the cycle of violence that is jeopardizing the U.S.-backed peace "road map."

The United States has appealed for restraint from both sides after a week of bloodshed in which more than 50 people were killed.

Last week's violence included the killing of four soldiers in the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian suicide bombing on a Jerusalem bus and seven Israeli helicopter strikes on militants, including an attempt to assassinate a Hamas leader.

Bush has sent the veteran diplomat John Wolf to the region to prevent the failure of the peace plan affirmed at a June 4 summit in Aqaba, Jordan, with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas.

Lugar said Secretary of State Colin Powell also would be free after meetings in Jordan next Sunday.

UNILATERAL ACTION?

Whether to insert forces into the volatile situation is being considered, including "whether they are to be all by themselves" or in conjunction with a United Nations or NATO force, he said.

"That is always a possibility but having said that, I would just say this is down the trail. We have to be very, very careful about the use of American forces," he said.

"But clearly, if force is required ultimately to root out terrorism, it is possible there would be American participation."

Even better

Lugar owed no income tax in '02, report shows

WASHINGTON -- U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., did not pay any state or federal income tax last year because of a loss he took when liquidating a family business, he disclosed Friday.

Lugar liquidated Thomas L. Green and Co., an Indianapolis manufacturer of bakery equipment he owned with his siblings. Operating losses were higher than what the assets were sold for, resulting in a net loss of $197,113.

That gave Lugar a negative income last year, despite a net worth of $1.5 million.

Lugar and his wife, Charlene, reported paying $20,046 in property, Social Security and Medicare taxes in 2002. But they owed no income taxes.

Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., and his wife, Susan, reported assets worth $789,000 to $2 million on their personal financial disclosure statements released Friday.

That means Bayh -- whose assets in 2001 totaled at least $1.1 million -- could have slipped out of the Senate "millionaires' club." At least 40 of the 100 U.S. senators were worth at least $1 million in 2001, according to Roll Call, a Capitol Hill newspaper.

Lawmakers have to report certain assets in broad ranges and do not have to report taxes paid. Lugar, however, discloses more information.

Lawmakers' primary residences, for example, do not have to be reported. But Lugar revealed that the house he and Charlene own in Virginia is worth $744,350. That's the Lugars' largest asset.

Bayh's largest reported asset is a cash trust worth $250,000 to $500,000. He reported selling some shares in Emmis Broadcasting along with assets in various municipal and state bonding authorities. He invested in various mutual funds and hung on to various other investments.

In addition to Bayh's Senate salary of $150,000, the Bayhs also draw income from Susan's positions on various boards. She added Esperion, a Michigan biopharmaceutical company, to the eight other boards she serves on. Those include three other drug companies as well as Emmis, E Trade Bank and Anthem.

The amount of money Susan Bayh earns from those companies does not have to be disclosed.

Evan Bayh has said his office will not deal with lobbyists from the companies that employ his wife to avoid a conflict of interest.

Israel could get the job done, if they where just let

American soldiers already have enough problems to deal with

GOOD. :321GFY

Delta force can handle this quickly

Heh heh. You aint even won the war in Iraq yet. Bit early to be talkin' bout spreading the imperialist disease to Palestine aint it ?

Absolutely !!!
As soon as palestinians will become politically incorrect, Israel will be able to take care of hamas in a matter of days. And finally kill that blind motherfucker.

SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU SARS INFESTED COMMUNIST MONGREL

fucking shit !

First off, there is no "true" delta force,

your looking at US Army Rangers, Green Berets or Pathfinders.

Pathfinders = "Delta forces"

For slower people as in the movie BlackHawk down, that was US Army rangers and Pathfinders, you can find this information on many goverment sites. Pathfinders are like green berets on psycho drugs. Last year the us goverment released its stats on their military, they have around 300 Pathfinders.

Green Berets which number easily in the thousands rarely ever fight real combat, they are moreover teachers.

Lets leave Chuck Noris films out of this.


Secondly, what is going on at that area of the world is not terrorism, it is war, it has been going on for hundreds of years.


It's amazing that now if any country attacks another its considered terrorism, yet, if you look at the USA and England in our revolutionary war, we would have been considered terrorists too.


Yes it was a War you say... So is this.

Let them fight it out we shouldnt be there.

w'd be nice..

Project for the New American Century

A better world ? hummm...

Either go in there and root out those Hamas fuckers as well as those Islamic Jihad fuckers and the good 'ol Al Aksa (part of the Fatah movement - also related to Arafat).

OR

Let Israel do it. I'm sure they wouldn't mind. Send over a few precisely targeted missiles at the homes, or cars of the leaders of those wonderful groups, and you have your solution.

terrorists crying about terrorists.

gotta love the irony.

Fucking jewich!
I m only 22 and already been swindled by them twice..

LOL...... are you sure?

U.S. troops need to get their asses back to the united states and stop policing the world

Well next time use your common fucking sense. Someone tells you they have a good deal on the Brooklyn Bridge or Statue of Liberty, don't give them money asshole!

Shut the Fuck Up Stupid Anarchist:321GFY

DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
You post shit like that and you expect Jewish webmasters to buy your templates ??????????????????

:eek7

OPEN YOUR EYES...can you?

well considering a senator's daughter was on the bus that hamas blew up last week.. what do you expect?

if hamas doesnt negotiate with the palestinians, there will be no more hamas to negotiate with. thats israel's solution..

never negotiate with terrorists

There is only one solution to avoid or to have avoided this kind of terrorist attack;
Deport all arabs, forbid entry in the US of all arabs.
But obviously no President will have the balls to take such a drastic measure...

PSALM 1


1:1 HAPPY IS the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of the scornful.

1:2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night.

1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by streams of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf doth not wither; and in whatsoever he doeth he shall prosper.

1:4 Not so the wicked; but they are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

1:5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

1:6 For the Lord regardeth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked shall perish.

PSALM 2


2:1 Why are the nations in an uproar? And why do the peoples mutter in vain?

2:2 The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against His anointed:

2:3 'Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.'

2:4 He that sitteth in heaven laugheth, the L-rd hath them in derision.

2:5 Then will He speak unto them in His wrath, and affright them in His sore displeasure:

2:6 'Truly it is I that have established My king upon Zion, My holy mountain.'

2:7 I will tell of the decree: the Lord said unto me: 'Thou art My son, this day have I begotten thee.

2:8 Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth for thy possession.

2:9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.'

2:10 Now therefore, O ye kings, be wise; be admonished, ye judges of the earth.

2:11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

2:12 Do homage in purity, lest He be angry, and ye perish in the way, when suddenly His wrath is kindled. Happy are all they that take refuge in Him.
