File under: Hezbollah

#1 Better do it quick. Mr. Wuss is leaving, and Netanyahu is warming up in the bullpen....

#2 Well, seeing that half of Egypt and ALL of Lebanon belongs to Israel, it would be a good way for Israel to get it's land back.

#3 If they mean to retake land, they would have to come out of their rat holes and fight in the open. That would be a grave mistake. They are good at shooting rockets from hospital parking lots, but probably not so good at brigade size maneuvers. They have no armor, no artillery, no logistics and supply lines, limited comms. Its just not going to happen.

#4 Yeah, it's all fun and games fighting the Jews, especially when you gain deniability by doing it thru a proxy. But just remember what a mess it made last time. I'm guessing you are still cleaning up the wreckage.

#5 I'd like Bush to supply another 20,000 bunker-buster JDAMs to Israel before the next president takes office, no matter who wins. And do it quietly, if possible. Hezbollah considers all of Israel "occupied lands", which gives them a green light to do anything they wish. I do believe that if Livni gets elected, her first act should be to tell Lebanon that if Israel is attacked by Hezbollah, everything north of the Litani will become glowing glass.
