This sounds like a perfect example of why "carpet bombing" can still be a usefull tactic. Move your troops away. When the celebration starts, remove the entire area from earthly existance.
I am not very confident with the current Israeli leadership, Olmert and Peretz, they are weak. They are not willing to invade and stay for a while in Hizballah strongholds until the international forces arrive to create a buffer zone. If they do not do this, then Hizballah will be perceived as victorious.
The Anti-Enlightenment forces have won, for the moment.
This isn't a showdown between the Jews and Moslems. This is a world showdown of the Anti-Enlightenment vs. the Enlightenment.
The left is backing the wrong century unless they truly want a world comprised of tyranny, darkness, and curtailed freedom.
The UN should REALLY re-think WHERE to place their 'observation' posts!
When one slaps the Lion, and pulls back an intact arm - one can say they "won"...
That is precisely why the Israeli must level the cities that host Hizbollah and kill everyone still present after fair warning to leave...
Semper Fi
How do you fight a war against an enemy who uses human shields and is willing to sacrifice his life in Allah's name? You just have to go after these terrorists and kill them......wherever they are....
Hezbollah knows how to play the world. Show dead children to get the world to urge Isreal to pull out. Then when they pull out, claim 'victory' for all their nutbags that follow them.
Matter of fact, it's right out of the terrorist playbook.
anything less than the extermination of the Hez-Ebola virus is a victory for terrorists in their eyes
