Pitched Battle going on now - Hizbellah is standing to fight

Fox | July 14,2006 | Fox News

[I still care]

The correspondant on Fox is reporting on an important battle going on in Lebanon. He said Hizbellah seems to be deciding to make a stand near a small town and a "pitched, important battle" is going on right now. They are showing pictures of the war overhead.

May the Israels make many martyrs today and may they wipe the Hez thugs out to the last man, woman and child whom they have recruited.

Aruba? :-p

[eyespysomething]

Maybe.

Didn't Jordan and Egypt annex part of what Pali's call Palestinian territories?

[Tulsa Ramjet]

"I have to admit that CNN has had more and better coverage of the fighting than Fox most of the time, but it has also been worse about showing only one side of the civilian suffering"

That's all Anderson Cooper is doing. He must be buckin' for a job with Sally Struthers.

At least now we know where to put Head-on.

Their first commercials were "Have you heard about Head-on?"

In 2007, they start a new campaign where they reveal what Head-on is used for.

Hezbollah won't make a stand because they are cowards and cowards run and hide...just like DemocRATS.

"Hizbellah seems to be deciding to make a stand"
"And this is where they will meet their end."

If only the PLO had made a valiant stand back in the 80's.

I am anxious to see the new hemroid product commercial...

The land most fought over, the West Bank and Gaza Strip, were originally part of Jordan and Egypt, respectively.

"I heard this AM on Fox that Hezbollah has built concrete bunkers in the cities."

Let's hope that the bunker-busters that Israel ordered from us was rushed there aboard a C-17.

[Panzerlied]

There the Hizzbolans
Made their final stand
In the Gunfight at Bent Jbail.

[Stultis]

Then the Hizzies will die...

Hopefully. God be with the IDF, however. The Hez seem better disciplined than the typical Arab fighter, and the Iranians and Syrians have reportedly been supplying them with high quality military equipment: night vision goggles, body armor and etc. Also the IDF will not be able to use some of their traditional strengths such a maneuver and mobility. They'll have to plow right into the fortified positions rather than bypass them.

It could be a tough and costly fight.

[blasater1960]

GREAT! Now.....Bisect the country, cut off any possible retreat and level the place.....

[tcrlaf]

Google Earth only shows half of the town...

[The Toll]

Tactical Error, ha ha, to say the least.

[InterceptPoint]

I'm getting mixed messages from Fox News. Sounds like they are telling us the big fight is at Marun a-Ras. I thought it was Bint Jbail.

Do we have a definitive source who can tell us if the major battle that is ongoing is in:

1. Marun a-Ras
2. Bint Jbail
3. All of the Above.

The palestinians would turn South Lebannon, which is some of the most beautiful country in that region into what looks like everything else they occupy, a garbage dump.

[prairiebreeze]

What, they aren't hiding behind children anymore? No women as shields?

despicable cowards

[epluribus_2]

more like the new Falluja, or Sadr City.

>Hizbellah seems to be deciding to make a stand near a small town

Dumb move. They forgot Mao's 3d rule.
