The Party of God continues to receive weapons and ammunition, it is strengthening its positions and even moving into areas patrolled by the Lebanese army and blue berets.

So much for the vaunted Blue Berets. The only thing these guys are is human shields for Hezbollah once the fighting beings.

Did the Israelis EVER get the young soldier back that was kidnapped and preceded last summer’s conflict?

No. There were actually 3 kidnapped. Two by Hezbollah and one by the Gaza scum. NONE of them have been gotten back.

This time, if there is another provocation by Hezbollah, Israel should ignore them as much as possible and instead go after the weak link in this particular chain of terror: Iran's Bitch, Basher "The Pencil-Necked Geek" Assad.

Israel can't win a war with Hezbollah for any number of reasons. First the Israeli public won't support the long term incursion/occupation of Southern Lebanon that would be necessary to do this, and second that would in any case put Israel at odds with it's key allies in the West which support the Sinora government.

Finally going to war with Hezbollah only plays into and helps legitimize this terror org's cynical posturing as defenders of Lebanon. By ignoring Hezbollah (and going after Syria instead) Israel would embarrass Hezbollah by treating them as what they really are: pawns and puppets of Lebanon's enemies and would be imperialist overlords Syria and Iran.

In fact it wouldn't hurt a bit for Israel to engage in a bit of brinkmanship. Why leave that tactic solely to the thugs? Israel should announce in advance that they will hold Syria responsible for any aggression against Israel by Hezbollah, and that for as long as rockets are fired on Israel from Lebanon, Israeli bombs will fall on Syria.

They seem to lose all credibility when they display their “goodwill gustures”!

I thought the reason they had the conflict in the first place was because of the kidnappings. I wish they would have followed through.

sounds good.

Maybe Barak - sounds like someone throwing up - can just release a few hundred more prisoners in another goodwill gesture.

That should solve everything

P.M. Olmert's lost war whetted the appetites of Hezbollah and Hamas.
There's nothing ever that will get total victory over Israel out of Hamas and Hezbollah's mind.
This liberal Olmert might as well pursue a for him attainable plan, namely provide for safe refugee escapes for thos of his peole who do not want to exist under foreign occupiers.

Having Israeli civilian settlers right smack in the middle of Gaza just provided the terrorists easier pickings and tied up Israeli military resources.

Now that Hammas has taken over Gaza, Gaza can be an Israeli free fire zone in the next war.

Might work. Now if you can suggest how Israel might get a new PM.
