Excerpt -
FOUR months after Israel launched its onslaught against Hezbollah, the Lebanese guerrillas are back in south Lebanon stronger than ever and armed with more rockets than they had before the conflict, according to Israeli intelligence.During the month-long war, which began on July 12, Hezbollah fired 200 to 250 rockets a day into Israel, killing 43 civilians and terrorising much of the north of the country.
“Since the ceasefire, additional rockets, weapons and military equipment have reached Hezbollah,” said an Israeli intelligence officer. “We assume they now have about 20,000 rockets of all ranges — a bit more than they had before July 12.”
Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, has confirmed the Israeli estimate. In a recent interview with al-Manar, the Hezbollah television station, he claimed his organisation had restocked its arsenal and now held at least 30,000 rockets, sufficient for five months of war.

This is insane. The world is off its friggin rocker. Western Civ is dangerously stupid now. Apparently millions must die.....
Take heart...not only are we getting to witness the death of a once-great republic, but in fact the downfall of an entire civilization!
When the need is greater than we can bear alone. A move from Heaven must take place, and a powerful prayer life, all can trace
Another great accomplishment for the UN.
You imply that it would be God's will this corrupt civilization endure.
Nah. Just sit right back and watch the big ol' war that's coming. Another decade of UN pissing into the wind should allow the pot to reach a healthy boil.
Another great accomplishment for political correctness!

Lebanon - UNIFIL Patrol Takes Nights Off
Despite the 20,000 troops deployed in southern Lebanon, the United Nations admits that weapons smuggling from Syria continues unhindered. A German report finds UNIFIL does not patrol after dark.
And they rarely leave camp.
Spanish UNIFIL official Richard Ortax admitted to the paper that no patrols are carried out at night “because of the danger involved.” UNIFIL commanders said their function is to "observe changes in the behavior of the local population."
One junior officer told Der Spiegel he was glad that his battalion had only left its camp once. "It's absurd," he said. "We landed here and set up our tent city, but since then we've only left the camp to drive around and to make sure that we're seen."

Is it just me, or does anyone else think the muzzies held their fire until after our election?
The MSM held their fire. These moves didn't happen overnight.
Terrorist Nasrallah should have been dead months ago. He is not hiding in an uncharted cave.
Sure they did. It's only 30,000 missiles!
Just one quick trip in a VW bus!

gee...who'd a thought it possible?
This should be an abject lesson to Israel and the US. Do not stop the war before you've destroyed the enemy, which only allowed them to claim victory and rearm for next fight.
