Okay, I really don’t understand why everyone is moving now.

Israel has taken bigger and more frequent hits than she is right now. What’s going on?

I'm guessing when Israel hits Lebanon the poo hits the windmill so to speak. This is to keep Hizbollah from getting to happy.

I'm pretty sure there is stuff going on in the background that we don't know about. This is way too major a move just to act as a show of force for Lebanese domestic politics. There's some strange things about the deployment too. We'll just have to wait and see. It is very interesting though.

See my post above. Israel is on the move. I think our ships are there just as a deterrent but could come under fire from Hezbullah. In 2006 they fired a silkworm missile at an Israeli ship. Seems our ships may get into harms way if Hezbullah is activated when Israel enters Gaza, which it is almost likely to do. Iran/Hamas are goading them into doing it. Gotta act now while Israel is still strongest and before Hamas gets any more fortifications and advanced weaponry. Israel, nor the US, wants Hamas to get as weaponized as Hezbullah and Fatah wants them dead too.

Some of you probably know bits and pieces of what’s going on. But the more amenable Arab nations have been trying to talk Syria into compromising on the Lebanese presidential stand-off. Some buildup of military positions sponsored by Syria and Iran has also been noted.
