The Jerusalem Post reports that Netanyahu believes that Israel can no longer afford to continue the policy of 'blindness' which he claims has been conducted by the Israeli government for the past 7 years.
According to the Post:
A government under my leadership will overthrow the Hamas rule in Gaza and bring about a cessation of rocket fire," Netanyahu said during a tour of Ashkelon following the first Grad rocket attack since the conclusion of Operation Cast Lead some two weeks ago.
"The policy of blindness followed in the past years has brought us to this situation," Netanyahu continued. "Residents can no longer count on miracles and Kadima policy."
Netanyahu's words take on even greater significance in light of the fact that the Obama administration seems determined to cool relations with Israel as a result of overt moves to establish good relations with terrorist governments in the region.
Unfortunately for Israel, the United States, and the world, the Jewish state may well have to go it alone to defend itself against groups and nations who wish to destroy it.

It's about damn time. Too bad we have JJ in the White House.
I think part of Netanyahu's strategy is designed for the scenario of an American President that is hostile to the security of Israel.
And yes, it is very sad that during this key strategic period in Middle East politics, the President decides he wants to be on the wrong side.
