ISRAEL STRIKES BELLY OF BEAST
The New York Post ^ | July 16, 2006 | Uri Dan

Posted on 07/16/2006 1:50:31 PM PDT by libstripper

July 16, 2006 -- JERUSALEM - Israeli airstrikes targeting Hezbollah strongholds pounded central Beirut yesterday as terrorist rockets continued to be fired back across the border - and Iranian involvement was exposed in the attack on an Israeli warship. Israeli officials charged that elite Iranian troops operating in Lebanon were involved in the Hezbollah offensive, and were responsible for firing an Iranian-made, radar-guided C802 missile - not the unmanned bomb-laden drone originally reported - that struck the warship on Friday, killing four sailors.

"There are Iranian officers belonging to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard among Hezbollah and they operated the missile," said Israeli Vice Prime Minister and elder statesman Shimon Peres.

Hopefully Israel doesn't follow President Bush's idea of letting Syria and Iran kill with impunity.

The only restraint Israel should show is the restraints on the terrorist as they are lined up in front of a firing squad.

Tell the Syrians to leave Damascus, then flatten it. Do the same with Tehran. THEN maybe moslems will understand something.

I have only seen one article that Israel had released some special ops to specifically take out Nasrallah. I hope this is true. Kill the enemy by cutting off its head. Not beheading him, but simply killing him as an example of what happens when you kidnap regular army troops of Israel.

You never fail to come up with some garbage like this. You're like clockwork.

I say it again. Thank God you are not in charge!!! Your incredibly misguided judgment frightens me. I'm quite glad you're no longer in uniform!

If we miss this opportunity Americans will die as a result. In the end we will have to take on Iran anyway. This is a once in a lifetime chance, DON'T BLOW IT.

In 1935, Hitler reoccupied the Rhineland. He had a very small army at the time. This act was a complete violation of the Treaty of Versailles.

We know today that a very powerful group of German Generals were prepared to overthrow Hitler when the French responded with their military to the reoccupation. They planned to arrest Hitler and put him on trial.

The French (of course) did nothing. Hitler gained great credibility and World War II came.

DONT' BLOW IT THIS TIME!

No, not yet. Syria and Iran have (foolishly, IMO) shown their intentions to back Lebanon. Muslim machismo dictates that they follow through with their threats, but they know that the US will stomp their @sses into the ground if they make a move towards Israel. The US can't join the fray until they make a move, otherwise we're seen as the aggressor. It all adds up to Israel stomping the crap out of Hezbollah and Hamas while Syria and Iran watch in frustration.

</2 cents>

LIES LIES LIES

I just saw a Muslim "leader" from Lebanon on TV deny this.
He said there was not a single Iranian military man in all of Lebanon....

Now - who are YOU going to believe -- this righteous Islamist "holy man".....or the lying Joooos?

Hint: That was a trick question....for you folks in Rio Linda..

The time has come to avenge the last Crusade!

Actually, it does not. The Saudis have criticized Hezbollah.

This conflict has made something clear - there are two types of nations in the Middle East - those who harbor and promote Islamist extremists, and those who are the targets of such. In the past, countries such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt would have jumped on the anti-Israeli bandwagon. Now, they condemn Hezbollah. They have no desire for the extremists to have a victory, even if it is against Israel, because they know that would embolden the terrorists they are also fighting.

Wrong.

The Saudis may be against the extremists controlled by Shite Iran, Hezbollah.

But they are very much for the extremists that are their allies, Hamas.

Their ideology is different. Their aims identical.

Were I in charge of Israel, I'd sent a cruise missile laden sub into the Persian Gulf, unload at one or more Iranian naval bases, and then turn around and go home. I'd flat out deny that any of my people took part, just like Iran has denied having it Revolutionary Guards in Lebanon helping Hezbollah. Tit for tat (though hitting them far harder than Israel was hit by that one missile) - let the Persians know that their boasts are empty and that Israel can strike when and where it wants.

It'd be interesting to see the reaction of Ahmanutjob.

Exactly!!!

President Bush needs to take advantage of this opportunity instead of repeating "restraint" while not tens or dozens but hundreds of rockets land on Israel.

Mobilize the country !!
Declare ISLAM the enemy and WASTE Tehran! Moslems are trying their best to waste Israel as we speak, directly or ... indirectly by staying silent.

Where are the condemnations from the "good" Iraqi people against the attacks against Israel. Where are the million man moslem marches against the terrorist who misuse the "religion of peace"?

If we had fought a kinder gentler compassionate war against Hitler we would have lost. Well we have another Hitler who is building NUKES. President Bush said in 2002 " Time is not on our side" - maybe someone ought to remind him about that quote.

Israel should give Tehran and Damascus 48 hours to evacuate then commence WW2 Dresdenization on 'em.

"We have the MOAB for a reason..."

I couldn't agree with you more. Just obliterate the evil freaks and be done with it already!

It would never get past the "Islam is a Religion of Peace" speechwriters and 'Deputy Assistants to the President on Muslim Affairs' wonks over at The White House.

Israel has been titing for tat, even tit tit tit for tat, since 1948 and it doesn't work. They now need to go TIT x 10000000 for tat.

Because soon, very very soon these rockets hitting Israel will be carrying nuclear warheads and there won't be a tit left in Israel.

TIME IS NOT ON OUR SIDE - W. BUSH Jan. 29 2002.
