The point we need to get across is that this a different war, with difference results, because GEORGE BUSH changed the face of the Middle East...
There is no Saddam, with a million soldiers and tanks to bluster the neighborhood into joining in, or else..
Their is no Saddam to provide arms to the Pali's, and finance the second front.
IN SHORT, Arab states can now feel right to directly criticise other Arabs, and NOT support Hezbollah. You'll notice Nasrallah's pleadings for help already?
"Today, a fresh opportunity to rout the Zionists is at hand to beat. We are a living example of how it can be done and we therefore ask (Arab leaders): Where are you?”
Nasrallah ended his peroration with an appeal: “The battle is not Hizballah’s alone. This war belongs to the entire Arab and Muslim nation, for the sake of this world and the next.”-Nasrallah
Anybody notice that BinWad Laden and his bi&ch al-Zawahiri have not come out with even an audio "hoo-haa" for their terrorist puppets?
and, no Saddam to give $25,000 to each family of a suicide bomber. Notice how they literally stopped suicide bombings zero after we arrested Saddam?
Very good take on what is ongoing.
One more point: presence of the US military in Iraq changes completely who controls the skies between Iran and Israel.
