#3 Miss Rice hasn't been in office for three years or so now, and over the last month you have been cheering on this pencilnecked asshole's consolidation of power.

#4 Thing.
(i) Hizbulla exists because Israel wasn't allowed to win 2006 war. Due, to miz Rice infliuence on George the Brainless.
(ii) I wasn't cheering Assad, just commenting on what his dada would do: the difference should be obvious---to grownups.

#5 Really, gr(o)m? Hizb'allah would be gone if you had taken over Lebanon? Just like the PLO and Hamas in, oh, let's say Gaza and the West Bank?

#6 Israel did not have decent leadership, military or civilian, during that war; from all appearances tthey marched north, got themselves bogged down in the bunker country on the border, did not have decent supplies to send their army farther because of apparent corruption problems, nor did they appear to have a coherent plan for prosecuting the war, but you think it's all the Bush Administration's fault?

Did Ms. Rice turn off the CIWS systems on the Israeli ships too?

#7 Looks like Lebanon, not IRAN, may be Israel's real target for mil attack come September???

Iff this report is true, the War Clock now approacheth closer to Midnite for Israel, as Iran
has openly stated that any Israeli attack agz the duly "elected/legitimate" Hezbollah-domin Lebanon Govt will be deemed an attack agz Iran = Islam; + the Hezzies per se will only need covert $$$ from their Iran overlords to reverse engineer the SCUDS - in the worse case, Syruh will keep tranferring new batches of SCUDS to Hezbollah as politics permits.

It also means that the hardline, anti-Israel Paleo Militant groups in Gaza-WB will get the still-deadly older or obsolete weapon systems that Hezbollah [Iraqi Shia Militias?]no longer needs or wants.

#8 Did Ms. Rice turn off the CIWS systems on the Israeli ships too?

That was to prevent an unfortunate incident with IAF aircraft operating within the same area. Which means there was likely no inter-arm cooperation: no op-areas established, no flight lanes or altitudes, no local air-control of aircraft by naval assets, etc. That, and the lowered level of preparation .

Just because one has kicked Arab ass for nearly sixty years doesn't mean one will do it every time. Fate is a fickle b*tch.
