The Associated Press reports that Hezbollah TV says Hezbollah destroyed an Israeli gunboat off the coast of Tyre, killing or wounding the crew of 12. The Israeli army had no comment.

Hezbollah TV? Are they in Dish Network or Direct TV?.......

Nope. Their signals have been banned in the U.S., France, Spain and Australia.

After the US Department of State placed Al-Manar on the Terrorist Exclusion List on December 17, 2004, transmissions to North America via Intelsat's satellites were blocked, this had the effect of making Al-Manar unavailable in Canada as well.

All I am saying is that we must be prayerful/careful in this process. There are striking similarities between what the muslims are doing now and the crusades...

You should brush up on your history. Ignorance is never a good thing.

Tu quoque. And you might brush up on your manners while you're at it. I've forgotten more than most people will ever know of history, and I'd never so insinuate that any fellow guest in Mr. Robinson's good forum is ignorant. But you're just plain rude.

You apologize like a husband I wish were mine. I'll go defang myself now! :o)

Hey, send that to Roto-Rooters and they's shoot it out onto the wires.....

Reuters EXCLUSIVE: "ISRAELI GUNBOAT UNDER HEZBOLLAH BOMBARDMENT"

Maybe send them a photo of the Bismarck or Yamato sinking and they's say "EXLUSIVE PHOTO: ISRAELI 'GUNBOAT' SINKING"

"Their main purpose was to "christianize" the muslim world"

Far from it - by any reasonable analysis, the "Crusades" were a defensive counter-action after the "Muslim world" had overrun much of the Christian Mediterranean world. The Crusades never aimed at more than trying to re-take a modest portion of what have been overrun by the Muslim hordes, mainly trying to save the Holy Lands and some of the coastal provinces in Asia Minor. Islam had conquered vast regions and populations, putting many people to the sword forcing millions into subjection and dhimmitude.

"What is it going to take to get the world to wake up and begin a new crusade to wipe this religion off of the earth?"

Ethnic cleansing is not the solution. Morally, Legally or practically it is wrong. The vast majority of Muslims are good people. I realize that out of 1.2 billion Muslims, that if only 10% are jihadists or their supporters that is still 120 million people, but mass murder is not the answer. The Muslim world need to cleanse itself of this problem. The West cannot do it all. We can kill terrorist until the sun supernovas, but unless the Muslim world gets their crap together the entire world has a problem.

I never thought the Soviet Union would collapse and Stalinist Communism only be left to reside in N.Korea and Cuba, but it happened. If the West is persistent and strong, we can win this war without nuking the Muslim world.

Hezbollah generally has done what it publicly says it did.

If this were true, then they would have sunk 3 ships... which they have not.

Hezbollah TV says Hezbollah has perfected Cold Fusion and Tasty Yogurt that is Non-Fat

Unfortunately, it's one and the same product.

Well, uh, there was some dust on the picture and it was too dark. The sun was in my eyes . . . I stand by this picture as being an accurate depiction of an Israeli warship with smoke and perhaps a few buildings coming from it.

Amen brother! I see you are a big fan of the MOAB as well. I paid for them I want to see them field tested in the hundreds. Time to start piling the enemy dead like cord wood.

Hopefully it was the SS Oldsmobile with Ted Kennedy at the helm enjoying his Mediterranean cruise.
