Plus when a terrorist is killed wearing street clothes, Hezbollah gets the benefit of media propaganda when CNN reports it as another "civilian" killed.

Simple to win; separate the people from terrorists. Barring separation, bury them together. Terrorists by their very tactics require the cover of the populace. Islamic terrorism may well one day require destruction of Islamic populations -- pure and simple!

Looking at the Hezbollah tactics of using rocket fire on Israeli civilian population centers (not the Israeli military) and Israeli counter fire upon Hezbollah fighters -- this war will soon reach a point where the Hezbollah civilian population centers will have to be destroyed to ferret out the terrorist-tactic fighters who hide amongst their people.

Notice how Shales (and by extension his masters at the NYT) relishes the supposed success of Hezbollah.

Ah the NYT is at it again, cheering for the enemy. I have never read the NYT describing American or Israeli fighting men in such glowing terms.

From their description it is plain to see that Hezbollah, is glorious in their eyes. I hope and pray that the NYT continues to lose readers and rots.

Exactly. Hezbollah doesn't abide by the accepted rules of warfare. That's what makes finishing them off so difficult.

Civilians who consent to be under the protection of Hezbollah are combatants.

Why can't we make out "finding" efforts easier by using drones to unleash huge amounts of sleeping gas over swatchs of Lebanese territory, to render every person unconscious for 6-20 hours (this is possible), and then have troops safely move in to sort out the wheat from the chaff, as it were. Air and troops campaigns are so obsolete. We have such technology and must put it to use.

Israel has been unable to significantly degrade the numbers of rockets because of this approach. Hezbollah fired more than 100 a day at the start of this conflict; they are still firing more than 100 a day, despite Israeli bombardment.

Hezbullah has had years to build up its weapons supply. Syria and Iran have been providing them with arms for years. Hezbullah's supply is not infinite. They cannot fire 100 a day forever. More than likely, they are close to exhausting their supply. We need to follow the Bush doctrine. Go after the terrorists and the states that harbor them.

U.S. military worried? Only if it causes an escalation in the war, which is probably inevitable anyway. Correct me if I'm wrong, the hezbollah are indiscriminate, murdering guerilla fighters that now are being further coached by Syria and Iran with more technically advanced weapons systems. Does that make them worse, yes, both for the Israelis (temporarily; as long as the Israelis continue their defensive war against them) and for the general civilian population they hide among, even more so. The free world has to come to grips with the fact that the very nature of this kind of fighting (cowardly by western standards) will require mass indirect killing of civilians. There is no way around it, as horrible as that may seem. It's war and people are going to die. I suppose if the Lebanese government had some testicles, it would've attempted to rid itself of this cancer years ago, but it too is afraid to take on this scum being supported by Syria and Iran. I assume that until those who want some kind of lasting peace in the Mideast (won't happen given the nature of islam) understand that Iran and Syria need also to be destroyed, that this type of fighting will continue and arise from time to time, as it always has. Israel is doing the right thing; it has to if it wants to survive. It's enemies once again are trying to use the MSM and their own self-created victim status to sway world opinion to their favor; I pray to God the West sees these vermin for what they really are; enemies of free peoples everywhere in the world. They are the new nazis and communists, using similar tactics, except guised in a religion. A religion that is not one of peace, but of constant war against all those not of it's own.

"United States officials worry that they’re not prepared, either, for Hezbollah’s style of warfare..."
The Hezzies train all their life to die, US trains to live and go back home to their families. How does one prepare for that? IMO

Simple.

Take Beirut, annex Lebanon, saturate with IDF.

Rinse and repeat throughout ME until clean.

"A New Enemy Gains on the U.S. ("It abides by no laws of war")"

That new enemy is the New York Times, but contrary to the headline, it does abide by the laws of war - propoganda is an effective weapon, and the leftists at the NYT know how to use it.

We are witnessing the greatest anti-freedom, anti-individual collective in the history of mankind.

Bald-er-dash.

Hezbollah isn't much different than the Japanese or the Hitler Jugend. The difference is the ruthlessness with which we are willing to prosecute war against them.

How has terrorists cowering in the midst of a civilian population become acceptable? No UN Security Council condemnation about that!

The times, making the news to fit their viewpoint. How do they keep coming up with this BS? Hezbullsh** is winning and "taking Israel by surprise"? We will see what happens at the end of this little dust up. Israel has only committed about 25 percent of their forces to this war and Olmert needs to really go all out if he expects to actually pulverize them but as far as being beaten as the NYslimes would have you believe, this is pure BS.

Or, as in this case the NYTimes. This article is meant to do one thing only, place the military of Isreal and the US in a negative light, while boosting the vision of Hez. Woodshed way past due.

And the New York Times will provide the terrorist all of the Secret data necessary to carry out the strikes against Americans.
