No, #1974 was removed now that I've hit abuse. That freeper brought the argument to this thread, but it might have gone unnoticed. It's an argument on another thread too, but he tried to bring it here and it's unwanted and it was disgusting.

You are forgetting perhaps the 800 1b gorilla in the room.

and what stands in the way of the war going to completion - is the pressure put by the world media and the UN, to stop it. and the PR helps hezbollah, which is why they exploit it.

where Tony Blair's head is now...

It IS troubling. I believe W is standing in RR's shoes. Tony B seems to be going wobbly on us. I wish Margaret Thatcher was able to give him a good talking to.

Her two "Generals" just said that Hezbollah is winning this war "big time".

If they were .. then their fan club wouldn't have stormed the UN Buildings for a PR stunt to get the medias attention

Basically, all this does is allow those in southern Lebanon to move out to safe ground. That way, Israel can let loose without worry about the world condemning them for hitting innocent civilians because the world watched as Israel gave them time to escape.

From Shianet:

Israel suspends aerial activity for 48hrs. This was announced by a US State Dept Official, not Israel.

Does anyone still doubt this is an american Agenda being executed in proxy by Israel??

They are calling it the Qana Massacre II....

Let's see what has been the major Hezbullah accomplishments so far:

Terrorizing 1/3rd of Israel with rockets

Nearly sinking a top of the line missile destroyer showing the world that Israel's navy is not invulnerable.

Making Israel look like child killers

And for this, what have they lost?

One village, a couple of command and control centers, and a few rocket launchers. Yep, I'd say that unless we see more... they are winning big time.

Of course, no one wins until the end. But if it ends now, Hezbullah wins big.
