A few, very few, Kornets turned up in Iraq during the war. They are very advanced, posing a threat to Abrams' too. They could only come from Syria or Iran via Syria.

And yet the U.N. resolution doesn't mention Syria or Iran.

Now there's a clue as to the true value of this peace agreement.

weapons supplied by Syria and Iran have been uncovered by Israeli forces in abandoned Hezbollah positions in Lebanon

And, NOT ONE OF THOSE COUNTRYS ARE MENTIONED IN THE NEW RESOLUTION.

Nicely done, UN.

Written underneath a contract number on each casing were the words: "Customer: Ministry of Defence of Syria. Supplier: KBP, Tula, Russia," the paper reports.

BUSTED!!!!

Hezbollah is not a country with an economy and a source of income and therefore I presume that their cache of 10,000 rockets was not purchased in the manner that nations usually purchase weapons but rather supplied directly by Iran and Syria who also trained the soldiers.

There is way too much focus here on Hezbollah and not enough on Iran and Syria. The Israelis will never have peace as long as the two above-mentioned countries continue to provide Hezbollah with a blank check. They are the primary instigators of this conflict and sooner or later they will have to either cease flooding Lebanon with weapons or the weapons supply will need to be cut off at source. Nobody wants to speak about this but both Iran and Syria are involved in this conflict and either Israel or the US or both are going to have to militarily confront both of these countries. Preferably before the Iranians acquire nuclear weapons.

Yep.

In an interview with Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Mike Wallace of CBS’s “Sixty Minutes” TV show came away quite impressed. "He's a swell guy,” Wallace said. “He really is. He's obviously smart as hell. He’s a college professor, for Christ’s sake. Nobody’s smarter than them."

"Granted he wants to wipe Israel off the map, but I’m a Jew and he didn’t kill me when he had the chance,” Wallace continued. “You’ve got to give him credit for that. I found him an interesting man. He has some intriguing ideas.”

One of the “intriguing ideas cited by Wallace was Ahmadinejad’s suggestion that the Jews of Israel could simply be relocated. “He suggested that a new homeland for the Jews could be established in Alaska, which I find fascinating," Wallace said. “He pointed out that if European Jews had been sent to Madagascar like the Nazis requested, they wouldn’t have had to kill them. You’ve got to admit he has a point there. And who are we to say that the stonings and hangings haven’t been a useful weapon in the battle against immorality?”

Everyone in the world knows who the bad guys are; so - we have two choices - we and the rest of the world puss out or stand up like men and destroy these people.

That's it.

Israeli delegation is on its way to Rusia with the evidence. I wonder if this relates to the three Russian companies the US is sanctioning in spite of Russian protests.

Maybe we are seeing the Israeli backdown is due to what has been discovered. If this is really with Syria and Iran and if Russia is supplying weapons - a backoff and rethinking might be necessary.

"IF" Syria does have the WMD from Iraq and "IF" Iran is quickly getting nuclear capability and wants to wipe Israel off the map, a reconsideration of tactic IS NECESSARY.

So, we just have to trust in our president to weigh all of this. So very thankful we have a man like George Bush doing the weighing of the world tinderbox.

Sure - he has a point there - if you buy into the fact that the Nazis "HAD" to kill them.

Guess the Jews are the rats of the world - merely to be destroyed by the sane people of the world.

Iran sends Hezbollah over 250 million a year to keep the shiite 5th column in Lebannon and keep shiites moving there for the takeover.


I've heard many Iranians in Iran are absolutely pissed at this because the shiites living in Lebannon get free housing, free money to start businesses, free medical care, while Iran continues to have one of the worst economies on the planet.

Perhaps the Iranian government doesn't know genocide when it happens, as it happened to the Jews in Europe, and many times in the world since.

Perhaps the Iranian government would like to see a demonstration of genocide on one of its cities. At thhis point, it seems that is the ONLY thing that might work.

Whose FINAL SOLUTION must we experience? Iran's or OURS?

I say Nuke an Iranian City and be done with it, more sh!t to follow unless you stop your destabilization of the ME with Shia clap trap. Go home, worship in your temples, leave the world alone, or be destroyed .

Message delivered.
