FReepers. I am outraged that the MSM does not use the words "terrorist"
or "liberation" but uses "gunman (or militant, or freedom fighter, etc) and "occupation".
The MSM does NOTHING to help Americans and American security.
Now why would that be?

Please spend a few hours today helping for success in the War for Enduring Freedom.
And thank you in advance if you post your thoughts, pictures, analyses, or send any
greetings or assistance to those serving overseas. Stay safe.

Ignoring for a moment United Nations Security Council Resolution 1559,
a resolution adopted by the United Nations Security Council on September 2, 2004,
which called on all Lebanese militias (including Hezbollah) to disband
consider the following:
If one of the major political and armed parties of the Mexican government fired missiles
at and into the United States continuously, destroying and killing civilians,
and also murdered and threatened US citizens day after day by other means,
and then finally captured and held hostage two US soldiers,
would you consider THAT an act of War?

No, the terrazzo tiles are precast, about 300 to 500 mm square, laid as tiles. But they are the same stuff, ground or honed smooth to expose the aggregate.

My point is it's NOT the Lebanese goverment, or even the Lebanese people. From what I've read on this no one outside of Syria, and Iran knew this was going to happen.

Ignoring for a moment United Nations Security Council Resolution 1559,
a resolution adopted by the United Nations Security Council on September 2, 2004, which called on all Lebanese militias (including Hezbollah) to disband


And just who was going to make them? Remember at that time Syria ruled Lebanon, and they still do have a great deal of influence through their security service and Hezbollah.

Your point is inaccurate.

Does Hezbollah play an active role in the Lebanese politics?

Yes. After the 2005 elections, Hezbollah won eight new seats, giving the group twenty-three seats
in the 128-member Lebanese Parliament.
In addition, Hezbollah has two ministers in the government, and a third is endorsed by the group.

Hezbollah ... participates in the Parliament of Lebanon,
taking 18% of the chairs (23 out of 128) and the bloc it forms with others,
the "Resistance and Development Bloc", a little less than 30% (see Lebanese general election, 2005).
It is a minority partner in the current Cabinet.

Question: Was the Lebanese goverment made aware of Hezbollahs plans before hand? Or did Syria Iran & Hezbollah plan it themselves.
(Note: I not saying that Hezbollah doesn't play a part in the Lebanese goverment. IMO they are there to keep an eye on thing for their masters)

"Question: Was the Lebanese goverment (sic) made aware of Hezbollahs plans before hand?"

It is surprising to find a FReeper defending terrorism and the country that began this war,
but to answer your question:

In Cairo, at the press conference, Lebanese Foreign Minister, Fawzi Salloukh, left,
speaks to reporters during a joint press conference with Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa, right,
at the League's headquarters in Cairo, Egypt, Friday July 14 2006.
Salloukh praised Hezbollah fighters" (that should be Hizb'allah terrorists, of course
and the praise was after the Hizb'allah missiles landed and after the IDF soldiers were captured in an act of War).

In Cairo, at the press conference, Lebanese Foreign Minister, Fawzi Salloukh, left,
speaks to reporters during a joint press conference with Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa, right,
at the League's headquarters in Cairo, Egypt, Friday July 14 2006.
Salloukh praised Hezbollah fighters" (that should be Hizb'allah terrorists, of course

Another post which created a lot of controversy was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Hezbollah insisted on having one of their members as the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Neither the UN nor the US were comfortable in dealing with a Hezbollah member. Even though Fawzi Salloukh, the newly named Minister of Foreign Affairs is a Shiite, he is independent and is neither a member of Hizbullah nor the Amal movement
