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

[Wolfie]

Tell the civilians they'll stop dying in large numbers when they stop supporting the terrorists. Hiroshima wasn't a surgical strike.

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

I was shocked when Anderson Cooper on CNN did expose a bit of the
terrorists mendacity.
On Friday night, CNN had "a day in the war" over an hour.
Cooper got into South Beirut with his crew. The Hizbollah got him
(and lots of other news crews) to come to an area where all the
ambulances for Hizbollah were lined up...
so that the cameras could capture the horror of these ambulances (with no patients
inside) roar off with their sirens wailing.
Completely staged photo-op and Cooper did say that it was a staged event
done by Hizbollah to promote their image.

I guess CNN occassionally tries to get people to forget their
softened stories from Iraq (for access to Saddam's people for stories).

In order of priority:

1. Destroy Liberal Media;
2. Bomb Anything That Moves.

Next...

Why isn't Israel flying drones over Lebanon to detect and preemptively destroy the terrorists as they aim their weapons?

[Vision]

That's when you start bombing entire cities.

This is the United Nations fault. Let me say it a different way: no organization in history has done more to allow the festering of open canker sores around the world than the United Nations and its so-called peace keepers.

Wherever the UN has footprints, the situation is never resolved. North Korea--technically still at war with--well everybody. Congo, still not resolved. Lebanon--what exactly is the UN definition of peace keeping--allowing one side to continually fire rockets at the other and then castigate the other side if it retaliates? The UN run camps are the main thing that let the Palestinian organizations hang on.

By not allowing these conflicts to come to a natural resolution, the UN makes things worse. It essentailly sat as a dumb witness while Hezbollah became a nation state unto itself. Now that nation state is armed with all the advanced weaponry that Russia, China, North Korea and France will sell to Iran and Syria.

Right under the noses of the UN observers, Hezbollah built networks of tunnels and reinforced bunkers that the Israelis are having a lot of trouble taking out.

This isn't just Kofi Annan's fault. It is the whole United Nations organization. They are more concerned with stability and cease fires than actually solving problems. Stability is not resolution. Resolution is stability. The inability to see the difference has cost thousands of lives all around the globe.

There is no better example of the saying "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions" than what the United Nations does. The United Nations is a colossal failure at being anything more than a PR vechicle for itself and some of the worst governments in modern history.

Ping for later

"Military planners suggest that the Pentagon take a page out of Hezbollah’s book about small-unit, agile operations "

Uhhh. We already have them.

It's called 'Special Forces'.

This guy is a dope!

[300winmag]

To attack Israel, Hezbollah dispersed its fighters with no distinguishing markings or uniforms or vehicles.

Excuse me, but that's in violation of the Geneva Conventions. Is the same NY Slimes that demands we grant terrorists the same rights as American teenage shoplifters now cooing about how smart those terrorists are in being war criminals?

[CPOSharky]

...small-unit, agile operations as it battles insurgents and cells in Iraq and Afghanistan...

That's waht the US IS doing. Al least until a terrorist in civilian clothes and an MSM reporter accuses them of murder.

[Lando Lincoln]

Thanks for the post. LS, you may find this of interest.

[OKSooner]

As someone noted on their tagline, it's not "hezbolla". The correct translation is "hezb'allah".

[Brilliant]

They make it sound like Hezbollah is the first to try this tactic. Where have they been for the last 5 years? Or even the last 15 years?

[MNJohnnie]

Could the NY Times get to be ANY more juvenile and hero worshiping in their Terrorist Propagandizing? How utterly pathetic that a supposedly adult rational male wrote this utter crap.

We are now into the first great war between nations and networks,” said John Arquilla

Well into it.

Since 1982.

Our dinosaur media and Liberals have yet to figure out we are already there. They are still in the time warp of supporting the massive Soviet Union.

[Doohickey]

This game of hide-and-seek is quite easily defeated.

Think, Dresden.

[MNJohnnie]

Stick to the 1860s. Nice you have feelings, too bad feelings are not facts. Your statements made about Afghanistan, Iraq and the US Economy were made as statements of fact. They are not factually correct. They are statements of your opinion stated as facts. They are not facts.

[Jack Black]

All this is just stupid. The US doesn't have to care about world opinion and could bomb the entire country to smithereens. The only reason the terrorists get away with their BS is because the media plays into their hands. In a real threatening-the-USA war the US Army should take the communist controlled media off the air on day one.

Then they can do what is needed without that nonsense.

[Lazamataz]

The problem for Hizbolla is, how do they win?

Sure they survive. Sure they cause pain. But a mosquito can never drain the buffalo.

There is no way for them to have victory. There is only perpetual, grinding bloodshed.

Forever.

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


Has the NY Times been alsep for the last 5 years. Hezbollah is no different than any other cowardly terrorists. The way to deal with them is to kill them and their familes and cleanse the whole area once and for all.
