Looking for more of the story.
And it ain't over till the bearded one is killed.
How long can a bully continue to torment someone until the one being tormented finally explodes in anger and delivers a huge butt-kicking?
That's what Israel is doing to Hezbollah - and justifiably so.
In other news...Noah surprised by the amount of rainfall in recent days.

Sarcasm off
The terrorists never mention the incessant rocket attacks. The talking point is "Israel's disproportionate response to the kidnapping of two soldiers."
What about all the rockets fired at Israel, Nasrallah?
Mahmoud Komati, deputy chief of Hezbollah's political arm, also told The Associated Press in an interview that his group will not lay down arms.
"The truth is — let me say this clearly — we didn't even expect (this) response.... that (Israel) would exploit this operation for this big war against us," said Komati.
He said Hezbollah had expected "the usual, limited response" from Israel to the July 12 cross-border raid, in which three Israelis were killed.
In the past, he said, Israeli responses to Hezbollah actions included sending commandos into Lebanon to seize Hezbollah officials or briefly targeting specific Hezbollah strongholds.
He said the Shiite group had anticipated there would be negotiations on exchanging the Israeli soldiers for three Lebanese prisoners in Israeli jails, with Germany acting as a mediator as it did before.
Lebanon, Syria, and Iran bearded ones too, I hope. Don't they have a bearded one or two, too?
Yeah. I should have said bearded ones (plural)
Muslim are always great dishing it out, but always claim victimhood when they reap what they sow.
What other conclusion does a terrorist have, other than it is a free ticket to target and kill Israelis?
...then they woke up.
Yeah, right! (sarc) Hezbollah has been lobbing bombs into Israel for years. There's got to be a line drawn in the sand. Hezbollah crossed it and is now suffering the consequences. Hope Israel kills them all. Just let the rest of the world stay out of Israel's affairs and she'll rid the world of these murdering terrorists.
Grind them into dust. Roger !
It's like in the old B-movies when the Mad Killer takes a Hostage and then tells the Hero that it's his fault if the Mad Killer is forced to kill the Hostage, because the Hero refused to comply with the Mad Killer's demands.

Don't let up Israel even if our Government wimps out on you because there is a great opportunity here to show terrorist countries that there is a severe price to pay for their support of evil.
they must have thought they were dealing with the UN
