"We want either Perdicalis alive or Raisuli dead," should be the US approach. We have neither the time nor the money for expensive foreign entanglements. We need to load up some aircraft and have them orbit noisily off the coast of Gaza (with tankers) with an ultimatum, "One city block per hour will be reduced to rubble until the hostages are safely released". Start with the water, sewer, power, fuel distribution/storage, telephone, and cellular network.
There are any number of quasi-civilian infrastructure targets that the Israeli's don't usually hit because of European political pressure. The US should hit those first. We need to act slightly irrationally and vilently to take the predictability out of our actions.
Biden will fuck this up royally.
First, Biden will destroy their infrastructure then he will rebuild it with his brother as the contractor.
Those people are. sadly, goners. Those animals are going to kill them no matter what.
This situation could spiral into the long awaited war with Iran. Should have taken care of them years ago.
Scary times. And yeah, The Biden / Obama regime will ensure our country loses more than just these doomed hostages.
