I was thinking of winning vs the Germans. If you count the Pacific war, I was going on 15 months. Everything you say is true, though if you consider the Roman Empire it was rather longer.

Just talked to my Israeli friend. Apparently, after the first shock, a whole LOT of Israelis are wondering why the "fence" (actually a highly sophisticated system) that Hamas broke through was apparently pretty much deserted by the forces in charge of monitoring it. Shades of 9/11 once again, though in this case there is rather more motive for Netanyahu to want an outrage than there was for Bush or the CIA.

Yeah, that information about the defenses in charge of the fence is now getting reported (at least it was on MSNBC). Hopefully the Israelis will remember as they unify that their leader is a lying asshole.
