Nasrallah: We will use all means against Israel

Hezbollah chief vows to wage an unrestrained campaign against Israel as 60 killed in Israeli strikes.

" . . . Stressing that his fighters were focusing on military targets rather than civilians, Nasrallah said the attack intentionally did not target petrochemical plants in the city "because we do not want to push things into the unknown".


"Our weapons are not for revenge ... but for the deterrence of the mad members of the government of Ehud Olmert," the Israeli prime minister who has ordered the offensive in Lebanon after Hezbollah's capture of two Israeli soldiers on Wednesday. . ."

We need automated clickers at a time like this in order to keep up with all the news between Fox, CNN and MSNBC which, BTW seems to have put Rita back into the anchor chair last night and gone to live instead of canned news.

When you are on Pipeline, do you have any problem switching between the live feeds?

My connection takes several minutes to switch and seems like I need reconnect after 1 switch. I'm on a good dsl.

Has anybody heard from Rebel_yell2 recently? I last heard from him this morning, our time. (I think Lebanon is one or two hours behind me.)

I believe Hezbollah HAS been shooting at the chemical plant with all the missiles going to Haifa and they have just been missing. Nasrallah is just covering for his missiles failures.

I work in a chemical plant and I am a chemical engineer. A small missile shot at the right place could cause a massive chain reaction.

Nasrallah's secret weapons are the energy in the assets of Israel- chemical and nuclear plants.

If one is fair, the missiles Hezbollah have shot have been terrible militarily. Some have landed in the sea!

To balance that Israel indicates 40-50% of Hezbollah infrastructure are eliminated.

I've always said terrorists have lousy aim. I'm alive and in one piece today because the terrorists' aim has sucked in critical times in the past couple of years.

I fell in love with history at 7! No teacher ever could shake that focus. Give a young kid the right books and see what happens...

Me too...I preferred history to stories as a kid...and still do.
