How can all the administrations from President Reagan's until today tolerate the torture and murder of our Marines and other personnel by the terrorists ?





That bothers many but to take on Hezbollah, PLO, Al Qaida, etc.especially earlier would have been the same situation when we went into Iraq only worse.
Most of the world doesn't get it, a few do now though.

In the 80s we wern't that far from the View nam war days and this current enemy far exceeds in numbers and brutality.

We in the U.S. and the world need to understand we are fighting for our civilization.
This is a war against Islamofascist and this needs to be driven home everyday by our leaders.

LOL - I'll say he can STFU. He blames the Jooos and America meanwhile Syria is in on this thing up to its bushy eyebrows...I'm telling you he also looked hungover.

Watching the Fox tape now - not impressed with it being proof positive that the missiles came from that location. But WTH do I know? I know it's a war zone and that's what happens when you hang around the war zone with bad guys. You get shot at.

RE: the date> The IDF has a long memory? Maybe the missiles were fired on the 22nd and the IDF is just getting around to striking back.

Revenge is a dish best served cold after all.

Not only is the west ignorin that we are fighting for our civilization, large sections of it are self-destructing by not reproducing and actively trying to destroy the family as the fundamental institution.

Looks like the town is slightly east and about halfway between Tyre and Beiruit, somewhat closer to Tyre. Looks about 24 miles NE of Tyre as the crow flies. On Google Earth, there appears to be a white spot near the coords which might be a village but it's far too blurry to see anything.

Acre was targeted, a few miles north. Maybe the launch sites are moving north...

You are so correct. I see this everyday living in San Diego and in Calif.
The European - American is the minority in my state and other states are almost there.

"all this crap about how the poor civilians couldn't get out - I heard stories all the time when I lived in Germany of 17 year old girls getting in a wagon with one horse and no food and no warm clothes in the middle of winter and fleeing the Russian advance as bombs dropped around them. They wanted to survive."


Greg Palkot said in his last report that HE had no trouble getting there and getting back to Tyre....he said the roads were FINE. And if the civilians didn't have any cars they certainly could've walked. Palkot also said earlier today that Qafa was only 8 or 9 miles from Tyre. If you're afraid for your life you can walk that far no problem.

I was thinking more along the lines of packing the goat and walking out. They've known for 2 weeks and didn't budge? Of course they may have been held against their will by Hezbollah, not that CNN would report that. Then again it seems more and more women there are brainwashed so who knows.

Amen to that - take them out as they have forfeited their right to live in a civilized world.

I don't know if this has been posted here or not, but I just saw this via LGF:

A woman went to a CAIR rally against Israel, and interviewed people and has the videos on her site. Also, the "Vice Chair" of CAIR shoved her a couple times and grabbed her camera.

Fantastic IDF clips on CNN showing the tricks used by Hezbullah to attack the Israeli navy including suicide bombers on small boats and jet skis and deflated, floating rafts hiding explosives. Hopefully, the USN will learn from these.
