They are going to launch those next.... I dont think this peace business is going anywhere. If Hezbollah gave up now they would be the laughing stock of the terrorist world.

The segment where Clooney was being tortured ( fingernails pulled off) and saved just prior to having his head SAWED (not sliced) off by the religious leader was frightening.

You noticed, didn't you, that it was the Hizbollah bigshot who called off the dog, right?

In RL, the Hizbollah gunsels would have been running out for cigarettes and hot coffee and handing the guy instruments as the torturer whistled while he worked.

"American soldiers in Iraq have sent Internet messages of encouragement to IDF soldiers via the new web site established by British citizen John Wilkes, who set up the web site out of concern for a friend of his in the IDF."


Thanks for posting the great story. I found the link for those who would like to pass it on:

Jul. 25, 2006 14:14 | Updated Jul. 25, 2006 19:18 Iranian equipment found in Bint Jbeil By YAAKOV KATZ

Brigadier General of Division 91 Commander Gal Hirsch revealed on Tuesday that troops operating in Bint Jbeil discovered war rooms with eavesdropping and surveillance equipment made by Iran, being used by Hizbullah against Israel.

They also found large cache of weapons and communications devices.

Meanwhile, several IDF soldiers from a tank unit were wounded when troops encountered resistance in Maroun al-Ras, a Hizbullah stronghold the IDF believed it had under its control.

Troops were attempting to evacuate the wounded under fire. The number of casualties was unclear as was the nature of the wounds.

Earlier Tuesday, Col. Amnon Eshel Assulin, Commander of the IDF Armored Brigade, told The Jerusalem Post that IDF troops operating in the village of Bint Jbeil, considered the "capital of terror" in southern Lebanon, had proven their ability to reach any location in Lebanon, and could even enter Beirut if the government decided on that course of action.

Assulin told the Post that that IDF had taken control over Bint Jbeil and had so far killed at least 40 Hizbullah guerrillas.

--------------------

Iranian equipment - no big surprise there.

Still no definite news on the wounded in maroun-al-Ras which makes me worried, but we will just have to wait and see.

Syriana - to see or not to see?

Politically to the left; of course the big bad oil companies are behind most of the evil in the Mid East (obligingly helped by GOP Senators) - but my main criticism of the movie was the way it was made. Difficult for everyone bar those very interested in Middle East politics to follow.

I guess since you are in the area and thus more involved than most it would be good to see what the left has to say about it, but if you have something more enjoyable to do....

Brother in Arms.....I liked that!

Can't expect commie unionists to take the side of freedom against depraved terrorists, now can we?

Metula, the extreme northern Israeli town, and also the shortest point to the River...

If Israel moves through there if force, they cut Southern Lebanon off from the Bekka and Syria.....
