"I don't think they can airlift enough of a strike force into the rear."

Was that originally a George Michael quote?

That's a pretty long journey from Israel. How in the world did they get this far without being spotted by the mediaWHORES and the bastard Hizbulloos?

Helicopters, plus I suspect a good dose of SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) missions over the last few days, or at least the hours leading up to the assault. IOW, they poked out Hez's eyes and then flew over them.

I would not be surprised if some of our special forces are not with the IDF, touring the Bakka Valley.

If it's a hit and run, why not wait till their home to announce it? Why announce it during the op?

They didn't, and in fact denied they had troops on the ground. The Lebanese security forces made the call to Al Reuters, and the Clinton News Network.

The CNN story says commandos entered the hospital and checked everyone's ID. Looking for their soldiers? Or someone high up in Hezbollah?

My brother-in-law and I got locked in the lower level of the Trier Cathedral one evening. Just down there looking around at tombs of cardinals and stuff, and bingo the lights go out. Pitch dark! luckily I smoke and had some matches. We finally found a door and took turns beating on it. We will always remember Trier alright.

At the counterrorismblog website i see no mention of Johnson listed as one of the contributing experts. I know that Bill Roggio is co-editor and i have a lot of respect for him going back to his days blogging at The Fourth Rail.

Hezballah to FoxNews: Target of raid at hospital was a Sheikh Yazbeck (unsure of spelling) who was in the hospital. Possibly to trade for Israeli soldiers. No word on success or not. --Jennifer Griffen

But the points I placed in bold were accurate. Even bad sources sometimes convey the truth. The trick is to know when. This time, the points I stressed were accurate.
