Hizbollah warns: We'll open new front on Israel

Yeah whatever. These terrorists are just spewing propaganda. They always attack Israeli positions and Israeli cities in the north, no matter what Israel does.

describing last Sunday's raid near Damascus as the "first round in a new Middle East war".

I'm 55 and I don't remember a time Israel was not at war in some way or another.

Arafat is dying right now from stomach cancer. Has not been seen in public for about ten days. Afraid to go to the hospital because he will have to be admitted for extended treatment. Also afraid that Israel would not let him back in. He is isolated by his own heart, mind and will for evil. He is true spawn of the devil.

When Arafat dies -- very soon now -- the Palis will erupt into crazy tantrums and go on a killing spree. The Palis will allege Arafat was "murdered." Israel will have to take quick and decisive action to protect itself. The clock is ticking.

What about the sovereignty of Lebenon?

Beirut, prior to the Syrian invasion in early/mid 1970s, was considered the "Paris of the Middle East", not to mention
the center of banking, relative stability, etc.

Can't have a successful somewhat real democratic republic in the middle of dictatorial mayhem.

[montag813]

Unlike in 1982 with Reagan (his one glaring failure), we have a President now who understands what the Israelis are up against. If Israel is forced to launch a full-scale invasion of Lebanon and/or Syria, the United States will not stand in the way this time, and will veto any SC resolutions, citing the 25-year old SC resolution which demands the then-immediate Syrian withdrawl from Lebanon. Or so my West Wing sources say.

Israeli intelligence on Syria has Washington fully convinced, and Israel will be given a green light this time.

What about the sovereignty of Lebenon?

You are kidding, right? Lebanon is part of "Greater Syria" and has been for most of the past three decades.

[The Westerner]

How do you know that Arafat is dying of stomach cancer?

[pabianice]

Excellent! Israel can carpet-bomb both Lebanon and Syria!

[RJL]

Syrian president Bashar Assad said that the raid was an Israeli attempt to provoke war "It is wrong to bear an attack without a response.

That is exactly what Israel said with their attack.

The fact that Syria has not made a single statement to rein in any terrorist organization making these threats gives pausability to complicity in proxy force usage and therefore makes Syria's current regime a supporter of terrorism and a legimite target. The only reason to not attack Syria is to observe escalation under the Geneva Conventions.... And this is basically only a set of protocols that state that I should not use one method if the other side also restrains itself. In the case of PA/Syrian/Lebannese based attacks, I would consider the gloves off and the period of escalation in effect until it is evident that Syria and all Arab states cannot wage a war on convention grounds. Then I would fireball the bastards if civilian attacks continued and at some point it would stop, maybe not until one side is destroyed completely and the ground salted as the Romans once did to definant City State as histroy records.

It's been all over the news for the past week. Also, 'Arafat is dead' was reported on a French web site. He has not been seen for about ten days. Last time he was seen reports said his face looked purple. There are a couple of those reports up Posted Here . . . enjoy!

Note to Hizbolla: Look up and see the mushrooms!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Syrian president Bashar Assad said that the raid was an Israeli attempt to provoke war "It is wrong to bear an attack without a response.

And that's exactly what the Israelis did. They responded to their attacks.

[The Westerner]

Okay. I'd been reading those, too. But until we see the decomposing corpse, I won't believe the good news.
