It would be nice to think that this time, the IDF will send as many Hezbullocks terrorists on to their 72 virgins and big buffet table as possible.

Of course that would be more likely if the current numnutz of a PM (Olmert) was returned to his duties of sweeping the floors and a REAL leader (Netanyahu) was back at the helm.

lot of mixed signals out of Israel today - yesterday their were multiple defense sources claiming all sorts of stuff (Syrian mobilization, calling up of reserves, Iranian listening posts, Hezbollah retaliation, etc)

Today a number of Israeli officials come out and say all this tension with Syria is artificiald . . . seems they can’t get on the same page

Netanyahu is as bad as the rest of them. Maybe worse, since he fools many Israelis into a false sense of security.
