the MSM,French, etc. are demanding proportionate repsonse. Well it seems, after reading this article, Israel's respsonse SO FAR, has been more than proportionate.

If the Israelis are only using a small amount of force, they are fools. The Arabs see restraint as weakness and will be encouraged to attack further.

"Meanwhile, the Home Front Command officer repeated his call on northern residents to remain in shelters or secure rooms and to closely follow the media for further instructions."

If this operation were truly successful the quote above would not be necessary.

Didn't Chirac say a couple of months ago that if French "interests" were subjected to a terrorist attack, France would use nuclear weapons?

So maybe he is disappointed that Israel hasn't followed his precepts and gone nuclear?? (A reporter should ask him.)

Aside from the fact that they need a couple of Buffs, they have a very fine AF.

Personally, I hope they take out Syria and make Iran sweat.

Israel must use ONLY a proportionate amount of force.

Proportionate to what ?

Proportionate to the stated intentions of their enemies ?

Proportionate to Israel's desire to survive ?

Proportionate to how badly they are outnumbered by muslims ?

Target Damascus

Syrians tour the streets of Damascus Sunday, July 16th, 2006, in their car waving the flags of the Lebanese Hezbollah Party in a show of solidarity. The picture of Hassan Nasrallah, the head of Hezbollah, is seen in front of the car. Nasrallah on Sunday made his first appearance after days of clashes with Israel, saying his group had 'complete strength and power' and suggesting it would continue attacking civilian areas.

IAF Commander Maj.-Gen. Eliezer Shkedy said on Sunday that the IAF had only used "a small proportion of its fire power" in its attacks on Lebanon,

My dad was a general in the Egyptian army. His comments are always so informative especially if they were related to a war that broke out. He had this to say about Lebanon:

This idiot Nasrallah. He is so funny. He keeps on issuing threats, he has no idea what he is talking about. What Israel is doing to him now is just gentle padding on the shoulders. Abou Shakha dah didn't see what we saw. Israel fought on 3 fronts in 1967 and it was hell. I was there, I saw it all. He has no tanks, no boats, he has nothing except a few toys he got from Iran and it seems abu shakha dah don't know that Israel confronted 3 of the most powerful armies in the region at the same time. If Israel wanted to brutally crush him it can do so in 1 hour.

*Abu Shakha dah literally means "this guy with the piss". We use this slang term to refer to a grown up whose capabilities is of a baby who wets himself.

Only 1350 sorties in 6 days? The IAF is showing restraint.

"the other side should consider all its alternatives"

They are still trying to send signals and to negotiate and to act through their enemy's will, instead of actually trying to just win and eradicate their enemy's will along with their enemies.

And it never, ever even begins to work. Remotely.

The Israel Air Force attacked four trucks carrying weapons from Syria to Lebanon as it was travelling through the valley close to the border between the two countries.

A tunnel and a bunker east of Tyre in which Hizbullah operatives were staying were bombed as well.

The Air Force also attacked two Katyusha launchers as well as a bridge and an automobile next to the site.
