Hizbullah Says It Is Defending Southern Lebanon
2006-08-22
(IsraelNN.com) Hizbullah leaders asserted Monday night that their terrorist guerillas will remain in southern Lebanon until they are assured that the Lebanese army "can handle the problem of Israeli aggressions and the Israeli danger on Lebanon and liberate the land and prisoners."
"And how long do you think that'll be?"
"'Bout 700 years, give or take."
Sheikh Naim Kassam told the Arab Al Jazeera television station Hizbullah terrorists "have to enhance the Lebanese army and give it its role." He said Hizbullah would honor the United Nations Security Council ceasefire resolution although it calls for the disarming of terrorist groups not authorized by the Lebanese government.
Hezbollah describes itself as a "resistance," not as a terrorist group or as a militia. Therefore, even though the resolutions are aimed squarely at it, the Lebs maintain the pretense and Hezbollah remains armed to the teeth.

#5  Load up a squadron F-15s with 12,000 pounds of bombs each and you got yourself a dandy little carpet bombing business.

#4  The "civilian population", which is the Hezbs, is exactly what needs to be totally destroyed here. Since there will be no UN forces appearing, I suggest Condi & Bolton introduce a new resolution, which they're so good at, to depopulate Lebanon to Litani River until final understnding can be reached.

#3  Israel doesn't have any B-52s, or other heavy bombers. Traditionally, they're required for "carpet bombing".

Carpet bombing's never been particularly useful against well-constructed bunker complexes, anyways. It's more of the sort of thing you use for armies in the open, field fortifications, or civilian populations. If you could carpet-bomb bunker complexes, we could have bombed North Korea sensible, instead of always holding back for fear of the artillery-bunker complex north of Seoul.

#2  Does no country "carpet bomb" anymore?
I think this place would be prime for the technique.

#1  Hizbollah is an attack entity. If Israel did not exist, those animals would attack other countries. They are like vermin, and should be so treated.
