That pic would go great with the "One Winged Angel" theme from FF7 (yeah, I know technically it has two wings..)

The Lebanese Ambassador will say it was a milk factory or an orphanage.

Sounds like a measured response to me!

Yea, it still doesn't ring true. 23 tons is a LOT of F-16 sorties.

I am SICK of hearing the democrats say that if Bill Clinton was in charge then this wouldn't be happening. Yes that is true - there would be NO war on terror and we would continue to be attacked.

Thank you Democrats from pointing out the obvious!!!!

Let's turn this around folks. TRUE the Democrats would not be fighting the terrorists!

Yeah... Why only 23? Why not a nice round number like 25? :)

Surprised there was any Hezbollah bunker left in Lebanon after a week of Israeli attacks. They must've been waiting for it to fill up with the right Hezzies...

Syria/Hezbollah sure did underestimate this response. They are really screwed themselves further by launching missle attacks against civilian population centers.

I think it's safe to say that the Lebanese Ambassador won't say that the target was a hog slaughtering operation.

92 500# bombs?

Hope they've got aspirin in that bunker

Here's what one 500# bomb can do: (warning Bush type language)

No, it's not a lot. The media doesn't tell what KIND of bombs were used, what amount of actual explosives were in them, how many sorties the Israeli's ran bombing that target, etc.

Typical of CNN and other pro pali media, they just add up all the wieght from the mission. It's not like it all fell at once, like some seem to think judging by the comments.

Depends ... if it's all dumped on top of the bunker, it's a judicious application of force, properly targeted on legitimate military asset.

If they're levelling an entire neighbourhood, in order to get one hideout ... they need to get with the program. This isn't the 1940's any more.
