Netanyahu: If Rockets Were Threatening the U.S., What Would America Do?
(Ynet News) Nina Fox - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday: "Can you imagine if, across the border from the United States, you had an army of thousands of terrorists who pelt your cities and towns with rockets and ballistic missiles and killer drones? They kill your soldiers, they kill your citizens, they kill your children. And they threaten them every day. What would America do? Would it say, 'well, there's nothing we can do. Let's hold our fire?'" "You know very well what America would do. It would cross the border, create a security zone, kill the terrorists, and protect its people until the threat is removed. That's exactly what we are doing." An Israeli source noted that "there is no American demand for a small or large withdrawal" from Lebanon. He said that in negotiations with Lebanon, "we have been talking about 'pilot' areas where the Lebanese army will be able to demonstrate its ability to make the area free of Hizbullah....The pilot will be accompanied by the United States to ensure the Lebanese army succeeds in its mission."
