"They'd like to topple Jordan. Their goal is to have a combined ground offensive from various fronts, coupled with a combined missile bombardment."
"The first requirement is to cut that hand—Hamas. People who do this thing to us are not going to be there. We have a long battle. I don't think it's that long, but we'll get rid of them."
