Question, to take massive pictures, wouldn't one have to use a massive camera?

The 'T' in 'L8TR' is redundant! :-)

If Hezbollah uses chemical weapons on Israeli troops and on civilans, Damascus and Syria will cease to exist.

Unfortunately they'll use chemical weapons on their own people, blame it on Israel, provide skimpy evidence and witnesses and the worst part is that the world will probably believe them.

The world wants to believe the worst of Israel and will take every opportunity to substantiate their beliefs however thin the evidence.

Gee. I just hate mentioning this....... but.


Baalbek. The town where the Iranian Guard (Saddam's elite) trained Hizb'Allah guerillas.

Baal?

Beelzebub?
Baalzebek?
Baalbek.

Who are the wise and who are the fools, when even the wise shall be fooled?

Is this telling us he wasn't sick, but they were hiding out in a hospital?

Perhaps that's where they have the kidnapped Israelis.

[Real Cynic No More]

I seem to recall 'professor' Murtha lecturing that the U.S. can't sustain a 2-front war. What is his advice to Syria? Can they sustain their current 2-front war?

"Perhaps that's where they have the kidnapped Israelis."

Interesting thought. They were reported as injured.

[UCANSEE2]

Does anyone else see what I'm seeing?

They flying pink elephants? YES! I see them too.

further proof that this paper is anti-isreal....

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,19992741-661,00.html

The Israeli troops ran into a local hospital south of the city and militants encircled the building, the spokesman said, without saying how many Israeli troops were on the ground or if any were injured.


So according this this it was the IDF using the sick as human shields instead of the HIZleaders as this story says:

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3284959,00.html

Lebanese army and security officials said early Wednesday that special IDF forces attempted to kidnap a senior Hizbullah member from a hospital near Baalbek in the west Lebanon Valley.

So which is right....Did the IDF use a hospital as a shield or did the Hiz cowards. Funny how this gets mixed up.....Since the hearalsun was using words like milita and gruellias to identify the terrorists I say they lean towards the anti-Isreal fraction of the media and thus will report anything to make the IDF look bad....thoughts?

One or the other is a lie which is which?

[snowsislander]

Lebanese army and security officials said Tuesday night that a major IDF operation was underway against suspected Hizbullah positions near Baalbeek in eastern Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, with one officer saying the IAF presence in the air above the ancient city was "unprecedented."

Good news.

Prime Minister Olmert has so far shown fortitude and, with this move, excellent initiative. I hope that he will continue to do so.

[AmericaUnited]

Seriously... can you be specific?

[AmishDude]

They'd better be careful, they'll trip over Saddam's WMDs.

[anymouse]

PsyOp. Hope it works.

[UCANSEE2]

It is obvious. The MSM will not make an issue out of it.

It is up to free people around the world to 'see' for themselves. Sometimes death is the next thing they see, instead of the truth.

[UCANSEE2]

I don't think the IDF is done. They had a goal. They will come out with their prize, or not at all. From the description of the air support, losing is not an option. Besides, the enemy is cloistered outside the hospital. That's all I want to say right now.
