| #6 I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that the only way to "solve" the mid-east problem is to go Mongol on the whole da$$$$ lot. Turn their largest cities to glass, destroy their smaller cities with ARCLIGHT strikes, and blockade their ports and harbors. Make sure that no airfield, road net, or other transportation system is left intact. Let them die from high explosives, thirst, starvation, disease and neglect, but just let them all DIE. The real estate that's left can be used by people that wish more to live than to die. |

| #5 I see no problem with the US arms shipment. The serious arms flow through Syria to Hezbollah. Meanwhile, propping up the Leb Army in its fight against Al Qaeda is well worth the investment. To kill the Syrian-Iranian-Hezbollah-Hamas weed, you must take it out at its root: the Iranian Regime. |

| #4 I like it. If Iran wants a proxy war, let's give them one. I just hope we are giving them some training also. All the weapons in the world won't do them any good if they don't know how to use them. You could give me every weapon in the arsenal and I couldn't take City Hall, but I work with a former SEAL that I bet could teach me how by lunch break. Let's send lots of weapons and a little training. Not too much though. That shit could end up biting us in the ass. |

| #3 Well, the choice is having the Lebs do the work in hopes that they might pull it off and buy time, or end up with a defacto Iranian/Syrian province run by Hesb'allah, funneling more arms and more gunnies into the PA. But- nobody thinks that far ahead. Better and easier to cut and paste paragraphs of drivel. |

| #2 Big mistake. No Arab army is competent enough at killing sufficient numbers of any enemy to make this worthwhile for America. |

| #1 How long before they show up in Hezbollahville? Some time after, but not a lot, before American arms given to "Abbas Loyalist" will be used in terrorist attacks on Israelis. |
