Jonathan Hunt of Fox News was on earlier and he was giving a history of Nasrallah...
And he said that Nasrallah got his "start" in Najaf, IRAQ, before he went to Iran..and got his more "deadly" training.
HMmmmmmmm...NOW how can the anti-war loonies say that there were NO terrorist in Iraq until WE invaded??
Speaking of Human Shields, has anybody caught this blurb yet? From an Israeli blog...
Listened to an interesting audio blog post from Stuart Hughes, a journalist for the Beeb who is in Beirut now, covering the war.
He woke up to find a larger-than-normal SUV in his hotel parking lot:
A new arrival in the parking lot next, to my hotel, in the form of a Lebanese Army rocket launcher, I came out to work this morning to find a camouflaged rocket launcher sitting in the car park, pointing at the sky, and I thought “Well, that wasn’t there yesterday”. I think that tells you everything you need to know about the situation here.
Whether or not the launcher is Lebanese army or Hezbollah (no pictures to tell the difference, and it might be a loaner to Hezbollah or perhaps simply stolen) — the fact that it’s parked next to a hotel housing journalists speaks volumes about the kinds of tactics used to ensure civilian casualties.
What, precisely, is Israel supposed to do? Sit back and let the rockets be launched? Attack the missile battery, and risk hitting a hotel full of journalists? I’m sure this launcher is positioned next to journalists for all of the cynical reasons I can imagine.
Also consider: unless Israel uses a large enough explosive charge to ignite the warhead in place and destroy the missiles without igniting their propulsion element, the damage will be even greater as the missile fuel ignites and the rockets launch. Short of sending somebody down there to manually disarm the missiles, it’s actually worse to underuse munitions in destroying these missiles.
Yep, that's what I thought when I heard it.
We all know that the anti-war loonies never let facts get in the way. /s
Have you noticed Olmert is more concerned for Lebanon than the idiot 'supposedly' running it? And to say your guys will pick up arms... against Israel? They made their bed. Shame innocents suffer.
Right.
I heard about this from one of the evacuees. She mentioned that as soon as you come out of the Beirut airport, there are Hezbollah billboards all over the place.
Any sailing lately?
I think Bolton could kick Kofi's butt!
The terror leaders could not care less about the regular citizens. If they did, they would not be terrorists.
Heh, chocolate is fattening. Israel did them a favor.
Condi heading there next week. Huh, I still go with Bolton. How in the world do you negotiate a cease fire with people you can not reason with?
Unconscionable. And that's what Israel (and the anti-terror movement) are up against.

You don't. You just go through the motions and buy time to let Israel get the job done.
Well, if they're going to glorify these murderers with billboard pictures, I think we should send in special forces with a can of spray paint. A big RIP haha, or maybe a big red circle with a line through it.

Can you summarize? Not sure I want to register.
So then, what can she expect to accomplish? Nothing.
