Totally Awesome Success for Israel
Awesome job of one-sided destruction:
More success here.
More than 1,300 Palestinians killedMore awesomeness:
Thirteen Israeli deaths
More than 4,000 buildings destroyed in Gaza, more than 20,000 severely damaged
Tens of thousands of Gazans homeless
Half a million people had been without water since the conflict began
Huge numbers of people were without power.
Israel hopes to pull all its troops out of the Gaza Strip by the time Barack Obama is inaugurated as president of the United States on Tuesday, Israeli officials said.
In Gaza's biggest city, streets brimmed with people and cars on Monday as residents began picking up the pieces of the lives they led before Israel's three-week air and ground onslaught.
Israeli tanks had been stationed on the rim of Gaza City, and destruction there was heavy. Tank shells turned some buildings into heaps of concrete while the tanks themselves rammed into the sides of others, peeling off pieces. Orange and olive groves were flattened.
Further inside the city, the parliament building and other targets of Israeli warplanes and helicopter gunships were reduced to piles of debris. Destruction in some areas left streets that resembled a moonscape. Elsewhere, damage appeared pinpointed, with isolated homes flattened or demolished.
More success here.

Makes you wonder if they accomplished all of their goals.
It's pretty clear (to most thinking people) that the Israelis planned this particular mission with an end date which would occur prior to Obama's inauguration.
America's military industrial complex probably won't lose a penny (due to the reduction-in-force). No doubt re-orders are currently being negotiated even as I write this.
December 2011
Maybe the Israelis care more about their people. You do not see Israeli soldiers hiding behind civilians.
