But we did expect...

The following remarkable speech must be quoted here in its entirety:

Defense Minister Amir Peretz visited the Gaza military unit on Sunday and commented on the IDF's response to Qassam attacks on Sderot.

"The terror organizations did not expect such a harsh, quick and comprehensive response. We plan to change the equation in which Hamas is the one deciding when there will be routine and when there won't, and this equation has already changed dramatically," Peretz said.

Be it as it may, but we, the Israeli citizens, have totally prepared ourselves for this and similar crapola streaming free and unchecked from our foremost military authority.

Such is the price of democracy...
