I love the AP's take:

"By daybreak, bloody and bruised soldiers, shock etched deep in their faces, were streaming back over the border into Israel.

The incessant crackle of gunfire pierced the air as explosions over the hills surrounding Bint Jbail kicked up plumes of gray smoke. All the while, tanks rolled back into Israel, ferrying the wounded over the rocky, barren landscape."

Turning victory into defeat in support of the best Hezbullah propaganda. Of course, the next paragraph, here's the real story:

"Two Israeli soldiers were killed and at least 20 were wounded Monday, the army said,"

Casualty numbers like that suck, if you are one of them, but other than that, 22 total is pretty darn good, in light of "a withering barrage of bullets, anti-tank missiles and mortar shells."

AP reporter vermin wouldn't admit Israeli victory, if they killed every single Hezzie.....

Hizbellah is standing to fight

And we all know how tough it is to stand and fight while you're crouching behind a woman's skirt.

Iran: Grand Ayatollah Calls on Muslims to Help Hizbollah 'Any Way They Can'
Iranian Students News Agency WWW-Text
Monday, July 24, 2006

ISNA news agency - 24 July 06 - The grand Ayatollah Fazel-Lankarani has said: Currently, the entire Muslim world is facing blasphemy, and the resistance by Hezbollah forces serve as a reminder of the resistance of Imam Ali (the first Shi'i imam) against Amr Ibn Abdud.

According to ISNA's religious correspondent, the grand Ayatollah Fazel-Lankerani made the remark in a speech to seminarians from all over the country who are taking part in a Koranic camp in Qom.

Criticizing the silence of Islamic governments and forums in the face of the Zionist atrocities against the people of Lebanon, he said: It is clear that these operations were masterminded by America, with the consent of disinterested states.

Stressing that in view of today's sensitive circumstance, the Islamic world's ulema and people must be vigilant, the grand ayatollah called on all Muslims to assist the Hezbollah and defenceless Lebanese people in any way they can.

(Passage omitted: on the importance of Koranic teaching)

Hizbellah...

Doesn't it tick you off how the MSM keeps calling the terrorist
organization everything except by their actual name, Hizb' Allah?

It's Allah, not "Bellah."

Pretty stupid stunt. They are apparently either impatient to meet Allah and their virgins [insert Helen Thomas photo here ] or are getting over-confident.
