Hezbollah got wupped, but good
Or so say this author, who served as a Captain in this warPrelude to Apocalypse Contrary to what is now the accepted wisdom in the media, Hezballah in its recent offensive against Israel neither badly bloodied the Israel Defense Force, nor fought it to a standstill in Southern Lebanon. In fact, the opposite is the case. By any legitimate measure Hezballah was Hezballah is not your fathers terrorist organization. This is not a group of loosely affiliated cells of would-be hijackers or suicide bombers. Hezballah is a terrorist army, trained like an army, organized like an army, funded and equipped like an army, with one glaring difference. The main use of its arsenal was terror aimed at Israels civilian population while hiding behind Lebanons civilian population. Its intent was to cause maximum civilian casualties amongst both. This was not by accident. This was by design. This was Hezballahs war, planned and prepared for six years, funded by close to a billion dollars by Iran, aided by Syria. One of the great benefits to the West to come out of this war (if they choose not to turn a blind eye to it) is the certain knowledge that Hezballah is Irans terrorist operational arm. It is the terrorist extension of Irans expressed foreign policy. Posted by: Brett 2006-08-28 |
