While we celebrate our holidays and many look forward to the chosen one Obama taking office, Hell is breaking out in the Mid East. Israeli warplanes and combat helicopters pounded the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip on Saturday, killing at least 155 people in the bloodiest day for Palestinians in more than 20 years of conflict. Hamas has promised to unleash Hell. Hamas Militants in the Gaza Strip responded with rocket salvoes.

The Prime Minister’s Office confirmed that Saturday’s strike was, in fact, the first step in Israel’s response to Hamas’ breach of the ceasefire:

Following Hamas’ violations of the truce agreement and the nonstop attacks on citizens in southern Israel, a decision was made on Wednesday, December 25, by the National Security Cabinet, to instruct the Israeli Defense Forces to take action in order to stop the rocket fire and terror attacks emanating form Gaza.

This will be Obama’s war. For those you who think he has Messianic powers to reign peace over us all, I sadly disagree. While I pray that you are right, I rather doubt it. Obama will be tested as his Vice President had suggested in the waning days of the campaign. President Obama will be forced to choose sides. Many Islamist’s hope that he will look towards them and support them. He can not, when push comes to shove he will choose Israel. Barack Obama at that point be forced to show the public that he understands what President Bush understood. That Islamic Militants are not our friends, and mean only to harm us.
