#1 I like it - the implications have got to be clear; "look, we can come over any of your cities anytime we like and break some windows, so don't make us come back carrying the BIG thundersticks! Ok?"

Not that they'll get it of course...

#2 Yeah, great. Maybe this'll raise the price of backhoes in Syria and Lebanon, with resultant windfall profits to John Deere, Haliburton, and all the other corporate profiteers who control our idiot Prez.

But before y'all start to ululate, please recall that those Israeli jets woodna been scurrying the rats into ratholes were it not for the DIPLOMACY that preceded it. Like for example... er... can I get back to you on that in the morning? I'm sure I read sumpin somewhere... think it was in the NY Times... or maybe the LA Times?

Whatever... gots to go back to sleep now...

#5 Near as I can figure Wuzzy is saying that talking nice to terrorists will make them friends. Oh and Bush is an idiot, Halliburton owns Bush, yada,yada,yada

#6 so...are their news agencies just ignoring the bombing in Syria and pretending the Israelies just flew over Lebanon, or what? Did the bombing not happen?

It seems more likely to me that if they flew over, they would have had a purpose to do so.

If they bombed Syria, the Arab news media can't ignore it, nor can the Syrian government. Their credibility will be ruined if they do. ...well more so than usual.

#14 Gee, Wuzza, how would diplomacy work in this situtation? What do you propose as a likely or desirable outcome for such an exchange, meaning desirable to both sides and not just to your friends in the Hezbollah killer-cult? Israel did negotiate with Hezbollah for the return of the mutilated remains of Israelis soldiers the Hezzies had butchered, but it dragged on for years and required the release of hundreds of ~~your heroes and role-models~~ live terrorists from Israeli jails. What diplomatic efforts did Hezbollah and its paymasters make before they launched the rocket that destroyed the bulldozer? Diplomacy requires agreement by two sides, and it is obvious that Israel will not accept the killing of Jews as a concession, much as that disappoints the peace industry.
Peaceniks push diplomacy because it allows the murdering savages to go on with their real agenda. The peace movement is complicit in terrorism and mass murder, as its predecessors were during WW2. There will be an accounting. Take it to the bank.

#16 I don't think Wuzza is a troll... he is just trying to horn into a very competitive RantBurg Niche.

and Michigan, Wyoming, we're going to Georiga, South Carolina, South Dakota, Guam, We definitely going to the Virgin Islands, to the ten-thousand Islands and Roquefort we will eat what is necessary and kiss the rest, on the beaches and praries and we will never surrender until we retake Washington and it's holy water supply to reinvingorate our precious bodily fluids.
