Hezbollah.......and its allies, Syria and Iran. Time to see the Israelis go into action again! Go Israel!

[rbg81]

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?

[Stultis]

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.

Party of God, what a load.

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.

Hezbollah prepares for war on Israel

How do leftists prepare for war with Hezbollah?

[PGalt]

For his part leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, openly admitted that the Party of God had replaced the weapons lost in the conflict with Israel...

Virgins await you, Hassan. /sarcasm

[nyyankeefan]

but but but the UN peacekeepers were to keep these terrorist muzzies from obtaining more weapons!!!!!

another failure of the UN and a failure for olmert still believing that peace can be had with muzzie terrorists....

all muzzies are only interested in death & destruction!!!!

There will be dead blue berets in the next action. They will have no protection and will be viewed as participators.
