Hezbollah itself is a top Iranian unit, arguably the top Iranian unit.

Yes, I just wrote about something I found on Corliss Lamont:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1680786/posts?page=21#21


In the 1930s he was the "National Chairman" of a group called "FRIENDS OF SOVIET RUSSIA" - I kid you not. This is also the guy who was a leading light for the ACLU. In the 1950s he found it convenient to backtrack from his pro-Stalin work of the 1930s and wrote a book called "Why I Am Not A Communist" (just a fellow traveler).

He gave a list of various freelance types..including various ones from Iran- official and otherwise..and while it shouldn't be surprising...it shook me up.

So many possibilities- and with the weak leadership in Israel it's unsettling..

FWIW a so-called psychic called Medved today and said he sees thousands of homicide bombers in Lebanon as well as many cities in Israel will be hit by missiles possibly with some of the WMD'S taken out of Iraq.

Psychics huh? That settles it for me. I'm digging a bunker starting tomorrow....... heh, wait, I live in Georgia.

When you bring psychics into the game my BS meter goes off the scale. Benny Hin I might have believed. :)

Hey Jeffers,

I appreciate your 3 source rule. It's certainly understandable with the "drive by" media at work. So help me out here with the following scenario. With the 3 source rule, how should one handle an exclusive where sources only tell a preferred reporter? Thanks for your help. :>)

I would expect a political event first, actually. Something like a no-confidence vote, or something else worked out constitutionally, with a shifting of alliances within the political parties that make up the ruling coalition, perhaps.

Not knowing enough about the feeling of the political parties in Israel, I don't know if it would happen, but the fact is there are rumblings in the papers of political unrest, and if Olmert doesn't start acting like a man, there is too much at stake for Israel, and he might find that he needs to retire, or have the coalition break down.

I apologize. Just because your posts are aggravating does not mean you have no right to post them. LOL

"I'd expect that jihadists from all of Islam are in place with Hezbollah right now, they've had more than a month to gather."

Unfortunately, a lot of them are probably squirreled away in Beirut, hanging out in embassies, cafes, and apartment buildings so that Israel can't get at them. Still, it could be a fortunate occurrence if enough jihadists have made their way to southern Lebanon to be killed by the IDF over the next few days and weeks. Could put a crimp in the world jihad as long as the IDF is finally cut loose to really act.

Until 9/11, Hezbollah had killed more Americans than any other terrorist group.

They have a lot to answer for.

From the US Embassy in Beirut, the Marine Barracks in Beirut, the kidnappings in the 80s, the Khobar towers/Dahran bombing, and others.
