Hez will never be disarmed. And you can take that to the bank.

You said "Hezbollah has not been destroyed, but only weakened." But, based on the following items you listed, I don't think we can really say they have been "weakened."

IF (and I will say IF because nothing has gone into effect) this U.N. resolution is passed and IF Israel accepts it, Hezbollah will emerge with power it could only dream of.

Yeah, it will need to replace men and material, but those commodities of war are "easily" replacable, but the power within Lebanon and the rise of it's prestige in the Islamic world is incalculable. It is possible that Hezbollah could use this conflict to end up in political power in Lebanon and Syria and esp Iran can easily rearm Hezbollah.

A small paramilitary militia will be seen as having fought the "big bad" IDf to a stalemate in a full months worth of warfare (this will be the perception). Hezbollah will gain so much from this while Israel will be left with alot of questions and finger pointing.

Those Muslims in those groups need to move the heck out of our country if they are offended.

It is PAST time that America proclaims ourselves what we ARE, not what Muslims say we should be.

END PC, END PC...START profiling, START profiling.

Sis, boom, bah.

Haaretz reporting "breakthrough"

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/749019.html

"The source said the peacekeepers would mainly be reinforced by French soldiers. As part of the deal, Hezbollah would pull out from south of the Litani river."


FRENCH soldiers??? We might as well turn Lebabon directlly over to Iran.

And when are the people of Israel going to overthrow Olmert. That pussy is setting up the scenario for the distruction of Israel.

They can do it all they want but it won't change W's opinion. Let's hope he continues to "call a spade a spade".

I haven't seen any word on how the issue of the 2 Israeli soldiers being returned is addressed in this cease fire proposal. I can't imagine Israel agreeing to a cease fire before the return of its soldiers

I heard a call to profiling over the noon hour on Fox. We need to add our voices to this.

Ibrahim Hooper should have been arrested and held in GITMO a long time ago.

Maybe Cialis. It allows more time for dithering. Seems to be the 21st century response to the Mohammedans.

"Why wait till then?"

If it were up to me, CAIR would have been a minor historical footnote in the WOT, long ago.

I wish I could help you...but I agree with what you just posted.

You posted that Israel's "military invincibility" will be destroyed.

THAT is the thing that I have been most disappointed in so far...I had always assumed that not only did Israel have the BEST intelligence gathering...but, that they didn't hesitate to take action after they are attacked (suicide bombers)....and they could beat ANY foe.

I think a lot of that comes from the awe I felt when I found out about them taking out the nuke facility in Iraq...without getting permission from the international community.
