London: Iran will supply Hezbollah with surface-to-air missile systems in the coming months, boosting the guerrillas' defences against Israeli aircraft, according to a report by specialist magazine Jane's Defence Weekly on Friday, citing unnamed Western diplomatic sources.

In a meeting, held late last month, the Lebanese Shiite Muslim militia called on Tehran to "accelerate and extend the scope of weapon shipments from Iran to the Islamic Resistance, particularly advanced missiles against ground and air targets."

Well, they knew how to use C-802. But will the hezbollai have enough time to receive the missiles and training?

It is an act of war and I think it's about time Iran gets a taste of our missile guidance technology.

After all... WTF will Iran do??? Board a ship and sail towards America?

I believe it's about time we play some hardball with these rogue bastards

How are they going to get there? Does Hezbollah have their own version of the "Ho Chi Mihn" trail?

Iran has apparently decided that neither we nor the Israelis have the guts to go after them. Now where would they have gotten that impression?

From assinine statements like "Islam is a Religion of Peace," airport searches of elderly caucasian women while Koran-bearing camel jockeys get a free pass, Bush's refusal to crush Iranian and Syrian interference in Iraq by putting cleric heads on pikes...and much more.

The Israeli's will just take out the hezbo surface to air missles with HARM and/or ARM anti-radar missles.

"How are they going to get there? "

Easy.
To Syria, then by road to Lebanon.

We need a Patton or a Churchill. I don't see one on the horizon.
