#1 I hope that they are leaving to have an unplanned meeting with their maker.

#3 Bravely bold Hizbollah rode forth from Lebanon.
They were not afraid to die, O brave Hizbollah.
They were not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways,
Brave, brave, brave, brave Hizbollah!

They were not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp,
Or to have their eyes gouged out and their elbows broken,
To have their kneecaps split and their bodies burned away
And their limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Hizbollah!

Their heads smashed in and their hearts cut out
And their livers removed and their bowels unplugged
And their nostrils raped and their bottoms burned off.

BUT...

When danger reared its ugly head, they bravely turned their tail and fled.
Yes, brave Hizbullah turned about
And gallantly, they chickened out. Bravely taking to their feet,
They beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Hizbullah.

#4 It's not just the leaders. According to this
Lebanese blogger, all of the Hezbollah have disappeared.

#5 They are true cowards at heart. Typical terrorists.

#7 If Hezbollah has bugged out, the Israelis should officially turn over all abandoned Hezbollah territory to the Lebanese army, on condition that the government of Lebanon votes that their army shall stay there a minimum of two years, and that no weapons other than Lebanese military weapons be allowed in there.

Any Hezbollah territory not firing weapons at Israel or Israeli forces now occupied by Lebanese army would become "safe havens". Shiites could live there under the protection of the Lebanese army, but no Hezbollah of any kind would be permitted in.

After two years, there is no way the Lebanese would permit Hezbollah to re-enclave their turf.

#8 Surely you jest, Anonymoose. The Lebanese Army was useless for controlling Lebanon before. What makes you think they've improved in the last few days?

#9 LMAO at the Hizballah song.

As for the Lebansese army, that is the only way this can end. The Israelis have to turn it over to the Lebanese. I don't mind if the US or NATO has to go in and help out. But the Israelis can't stay there and they can't leave a vacuum. Oh, and don't mention the UN cause I'll squirt coffee out of my nose...

No soldier in that gallant band hid half as well as he did.

He lay concealed throughout the war, and so preserved his gore-O..."

Iblis, that depends on what you mean by "it". The Lebanese army can't subdue Hizbullah, so they just need to stay out of the way until Israel finishes bouncing the rubble. Hizbullah has not "bugged out" -- there's too many of them and too few bridges. They're just laying low.

#12 Darrell:

You are correct. The Lebanese army cannot confront Hizballah. Israel can and will. Once that's done Israel will have to hand over the areas previosuly controlled by Hizballah to the Lebanese army.
