Sadly, you're right.
I really wish John Howard was running a superpower.
Oh that's reassuring. I feel much better knowing that a body like the UN is going to get to the bottom of this. /sarcasm off
We should be bombing Iran into oblivion commencing last year.
Right after the November elections. Coincidence?
ah the good old days of indiscriminate carpet bombing. Army need to get back to basics
Very true. Blaming Israel and the US has become cliche. Never mind the fact that this cult wants us and everything we stand for destroyed. That isn't even worthy of a footnote.
I believe the French actually stated that they will NOT disarm Hezbollah, adn they will not put the thousands of troops they promised there until their safety is guaranteed. Sad.
What's the difference between 10 Frnech soldiers and 10,000? Less POW's.
They won a majority in both houses of Congress, did they not ?
Axis of Evil
Pierre Gemayel is the name of the elected leader who yesterday was assassinated in Lebanon. Bashir was his uncle who was assassinated 25 years ago. Are you saying Bashir's father was also named Pierre? If so, I don't see the signifigance of that fact. I thought we were discussing the assassinated Pierre Gemayel from yesterday's incident.
Yep. I guess they figure we won't do anything now.
The libs and lefties will be on the side of the Islamofascists - one irony after another. They are our Fifth Column.
Good thing we made the Israeli's leave! not
Find Hezbollah warriors and kill every last one of them. Lebanon deserves better. Hell, EVERYONE deserves better.

Sa'd Al-Hariri: Hizbullah, Amal, Syria, and Iran Want to Topple the Government
In an interview with the Al-Jazeera English-language satellite station, the head of the Al-Mustaqbal faction Sa'd Al-Hariri said that the current crisis was caused because Hizbullah received orders from elements outside of Lebanon not to allow, under any circumstances, the establishment of an international tribunal. According to him, the alliance of Hizbullah, Amal, Syria, and Iran wants to topple the government and rule Lebanon: "It is obvious that when there is a political party that is funded entirely by [elements] outside of the country [i.e. Hizbullah], then it is run entirely by [elements] outside of the country."
Concerning the current crisis in the government and the resignation of the Shi'ite ministers, he said: "The orders and the decisions came from [elements] outside [of Lebanon], and these orders and decisions lay down that it is forbidden [to allow] the establishment of an international tribunal and that the murderers of Rafiq Al-Hariri, Jubran Tweini, Samir Qasir, and George Hawi must be defended at all costs... The truth is that if there are any civil disturbances whatsoever, this will not be because of the Lebanese [but rather because of foreign intervention]... Today it has become clear that the alliance between Hizbullah, Amal, Syria, and Iran wants to topple the Al-Siniora government, to foil the [establishment] of an international tribunal [for the assassination of Rafiq Al-Hariri], [to prevent the implementation of] Resolution 1701... They want to rule the country."(10)
Sunni Sheikh Attacks Hizbullah
The Lebanese daily Al-Mustaqbal published an article by the Sunni Sheikh Sa'id Harmush, who expressed criticism of Hizbullah members' behavior, which in his opinion is contrary to Islam: "...Hizbullah [members] claim [that they are acting in the name of] Islam, but they are doing the exact opposite of Islam! In the past they left in Beirut black fingerprints, in every home and neighborhood. Roving bands of [Hizbullah members] took over property belonging to 'the Sunni brothers', as they call them - houses, land, and shops. Then they started with acts of robbery, slaughter, humiliation, and expulsion, much more than the Jews have done anywhere [in the world]...
"To this day many areas in Lebanon (like Sidon, Tyre, and other areas) are trying to deal with this arbitrariness and arrogance. If this is so, then what Islam are they talking about[?] We are not talking about [unknown things that occurred] in the course of the [last] war - the attacks and assaults that were carried out during the war, from the south up to Beirut. At the time that Zionist planes destroyed some of the areas in Beirut, some of the roving bands [of Hizbullah members] took over private and public lands, and built houses there, as though these lands were spoils of war! So what Islam are they talking about?!
"Today Sheikh Naim Qassem comes to us with the demand that the [Shi'ite] community, or Hizbullah, be partners in government decisions and in building Lebanon... This at a time that Shi'ite ministers left the government in order to exert influence [not to establish] a tribunal that is supposed to punish the criminals who assassinated many Lebanese brothers. So how can they ask to be partners?!...
"You want the government to grant legitimacy to your lies, and if not, then [you accuse it] of collaboration [with Israel]..."(13)
