Has anyone seen proof he is alive? They can issue all kinds of press releases in his name, but that doesn't mean squat. If Al-Jihad really does have an interview with him, it will of course be crucial to determine whether it's new or something that was already in the can........

I don't see how the hezbullies placing their own children as human shields is a propoganda blow for the IDF.

Because of the way it was reported was a welcome change from the usual standard of reporting. "Human sandbag" does not reflect well upon the people who are using children (not their's necessarily) as sandbags.

not sure but I think he said something in the interview that proved he was alive. Even Jennifer Griffin reported it that way.

Taranto also quoted that item about Heinz-Kerry funding the meeting in Beirut and I sent him the following note:

On Jul 20, 2006, OpinionJournal wrote:

In September 2004, there was a huge gathering of anti-American, anti-Israeli organizations in Beirut to attend a conference entitled "Where Next For The Global Anti-War And Anti-Globalization Movements? An International Strategy Meeting."

This year's G8 meeting coverage was different from previous years because the media never mentioned protesters, who until this year have been an integral part of the storyline. I wondered where the anti-Globalists had gone, and what they were organizing as an alternative to their usual ruckus.

Perhaps the top rank of "anarchist/socialist" organizers had been to some planning sessions or shared emails with Hizb'allah this Spring, and did not see acting up in St Petersburg as necessary in 2006.

Please keep us informed as to their future meetings and funding sources.

That's kind of hard to know since I don't know the military damage inflicted on Hezbollah. I understand we don't want casualties, but I'm sure these heroic casualties will gain tactical advantages such as discovering tunnels, ammunition, and military nerve centers. I did read recently that changes are occurring on the battlefield in favor of Israel, but I know there will be loss of life for it. God Bless Israel.

I just saw the interview on CNN and Nasrallah seems to refer to events subsequent to the recent bunker-buster attempt.

Fox reporting that the Lebanese govt has announced that if Israel invades them on the ground then they will stand with Hizbullah....

Does Lebanon expect anyone to come to their aid militarily?
Who would that be, and I don't mean Syria or Iran?

Hi all, I'm just getting up. Did we ever get any confirmation of the who/what was in the "mosque under construction"?

That ends the left's argument that Lebanon was too weak to counter Hezbollah. They are in bed with the Hezzies.

OH, well, too bad..... thanks for the info.

Hope they got some of the other scumbags in the bunker, or at least maybe removed it permanently from usable Hezzi-Nazi facilities and resources..........

Although they seem to be on the same plane maybe the "fins" are not attached to the "capsule". The man's right hand would then be grasping the end of the capsule. Thought of this way I think the picture looks more "right".

I'm not suggesting I think this is the case.. just brainstorming.

I realize this will come off as extremely cold, but is it just me or is there way too much worry about a single military death in TV coverage. How would TV cover something like the Battle of the Bulge today?

I would think the way TV has covered this battle that hundred of thousands were dead in Lebanon and tens of thousands were dead in Israel. I just think when armies go to war you should expect thousands of deaths and anything less is a miracle.

To follow up on this I have told my wife that all the Iraq war casualty counts amaze me. The way I look at it until we have 100X casualties that we had on 9/11, I think our military deaths are well worth it to ensure progress on war on terror. I guess I'm warped.

The Gulf War changed everything. People expect a bloodless war now.

I thought I had some weird hours at work...

No confirmation on the mosque.

But Al Jiz TV played a tape they claim is from Nasrallah interviewed today.
