Sharon Hails “Great Success” in Gaza Bombing Raid
from the hey-man,-nice-shot dept.
In the wake of a midnight Israeli bombing run on a crowded Gaza Strip residential neighborhood, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon proclaimed the attack a resounding success. “This operation was in my view one of our biggest successes,” said Sharon. “While scrupulously limiting ourselves to a legitimate military target, we still managed to achieve a civilian casualty rate of 14:1. Those are better numbers even than some suicide bombers achieve. I can’t tell you how proud that makes me feel.”
