I read the delay of the invasion would give Hamas more time to set booby traps
and place hostages next to the traps:

delay was/is a military mistake

VDH recently had podcast that Eisenhower removing Patton and caving in to the ego of Montgomery resulted in the battle of the bulge.
Montgomery MO was to advance a small amount the dig in , advance then dig in.
Patton was full speed ahead no delay.
The delay gave Nazis time to mount the offense later labelled battle of the bulge
the "bulge" describing their push through a weak gap in the allied lines.

This VDH guy is really something.  He writes two or more articles a week as well as his books.
He is writing machine.

Like Katherine tells me ,  real true writers can write and write and write.

VDH on why we should support Israel
« Reply #3001 on: Today at 06:07:54 AM »
he answers callers question who felt Israel is a leech who we support with $$$ and yet seemingly they do not provide us with much.
He also talks about how the Jews were mentioned in Egypt hieroglyphics 1200 BC then of course the Christians 1200 yrs later and not until the 600s did the Muslims come along and thus the notion of the "right of return" the Palestinians speak of is rather absurd.

Should Erdogon give Constantinople back to the Pope, etc.

Same March 28th podcast:
