Will Longer Range Missiles 'Backfire' on Nasrallah?
2006-07-26
Hizbullah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, said his group's missiles would start hitting targets deeper into Israel, and warned he would not accept a "humiliating" ceasefire.

Deeper targets mean bigger missiles. Bigger missiles mean longer set-up/break-down times. Longer cycle times means better chance counter-battery arrives before launchers leave. Odds are this HezbAllah strategy will work better for Israel than HA (unless they launch the missiles from a hospital or UN post or such.)

#19  Nice photo, #1. There's an explosion, presumably from another Khatusha, below the lower red circle on the right hand side. As you can see, it's not a HUGE explosion. There's also another rocket(?) above and to the left of the upper red circle on the left. From the looks of them, it's hard to guess what they're aimed at.

I agree with #11 - time to hit Hezbollah with napalm - lots of it.

#15  The most striking feature of recent events is that the Lebanese government hasn't acted against Hizb'Allah. At all.

Accessory to acts of war. Same goes for UN troops in Lebanon.

#12  Hassan Nasrallah ... warned he would not accept a "humiliating" ceasefire

I always get a kick out of the Islamists v/s the PC weenies. The weenies try so hard to help them win, by putting their murderous actions into the "proper context" so as to be palatable to westerners, and then the Islamists just shove them to the ground, kick them once or twice and say, beat it, ya dirtly little infidel. God's on our side, and when I have time, I'll chop off your head and sell your women and children into slavery.

rinse and repeat.

#9  There is a lot of sympathy shown for Lebanon, but it's obviously absurd, IMHO, to include the Leb Government and politicians. Syrian tools and Hezb collaborators. Much like the Paleos electing Hamas, they are getting what they asked for.

#8  Does this sound as if the Lebanese Government is asserting its soverienty? No, its as if hez, has no intention of being anything other than what it is within lebanon, a force for sustaining a war on Israel and the sensibilities of the Free world.

There is apparently, no methodology for the duly elected government to contradict and thus intradict the momentum of this force.

#7  Every rocket/missile the Hezzies shoot just gives Isreal more liberty to pursue without mercy. I hope they keep firing them until their entire arsenal is depleted. By that time, hopefully, Hezzies will be an endangered species.

Of course, I also hope that none of the rockets hits anything substantial and Israel is spared loss of life.

If they launch from a UN post, the counterbattery shoot is a twofer.

#5  Bigger missles = WMD-capable = Nuke-capable = No longer "local etrror" but de facto "foreign armed intervention". Lebanon/ME-based, Iran-supported radical terror groups can be interpreted as paramilitary extens of the IRGC = Tehran = MadMoud + Mullahs. Watch your sixes, Dubya-GOP, becuz Hillary and her pro-OWG, anti-USA, anti-sovereign Co-POTUSes are a'coming, courtesy of Amer Hiroshima(s). CLINTONISM > America is a [Left]Socialist country being led by the wrong kind of national Socialism-Absolutism. Motherly Perfectionism = Gulags-happy Communism and Totalitarianism is the DemoLeft's PC response to the catastrophes wrought on America = Amerikkka by arrogant Male Brute, imcompetent error-prone, mere simple GOP authoritarian Fascist Rightist Socialism. Free America is allowed to war for Empire = Global Socialism as long as a weak, anti-sovereign, Commie Amerikkka SSR = CPUSA + USSA, the United SOcialist Republic vv OIL STORM, as under OWG and Commie-SOcie WOrld Order is the outcome.

#4  Nazi's determined to escalate this to the point where Syria and Iran are equal partners - obvious even to the clueless.

Works for me. Iran. Everything in the current threat environment pivots on Iran. Let's call it what it is loud and clear and often. And take them down at a time of our choosing, not theirs. Like August 21st, LOL.
