#1 Breakfast check from FNC + CNN > IDF believes there are [non-aligned?] Muslim armed groups still oper within Litani buffer zone, read behind the lines. IDF spokepeople can't or won't confirm rockets as being by the Hizzies per se, only by Muslim armed groups.

#3 Suppose they were firing at Israeli soldiers? Or perhaps trying to stage another "Israeli attack" by causing the deaths of a few more Lebanese civilians?

#4 Latest from JPOST
Hizbullah likely to retain weapons
Hizbullah will not hand over its weapons to the Lebanese government but rather refrain from exhibiting them publicly, according to a new compromise that is reportedly brewing between Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Seniora and Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

The UN cease-fire resolution specifically demands the demilitarization of the area south of the Litani river. The resolution was approved by the Lebanese cabinet.

#5 "But Nasrallah said he was open to dialogue about Hezbollah's weapons at the appropriate time."

"Appropriate time"? Would that be after all the Joooooos are dead, Nasty?

#6 Soon enough this world is going to learn that intent is sufficient justification for prosecution. It is in the criminal world (e.g., conspiracy) and this needs to be extended into the political arena as well.

Iran's Ahmadinejad and his open declarations of war upon the United States and Israel need to be taken seriously. In the exact same fashion, just because this latest barrage of Hezbollah missiles did not reach their intended target, is no reason not to declare a breach of the ceasefire and resume kicking Lebanese @ss.

Due to niggling little things like taqqiya there is no possibility of accurately assessing Islamic statements for even the slightest degree of fact or truth (a pair of concepts that enjoy vast separation in the Muslim world). All we have to go on is the intent of our foes.

Their intent is to take over this entire planet and commit Global Cultural Genocide. Based on this knowledge, we need to act accordingly. Unfortunately, most of this world's population is virtually uncontaminated by such a dreadful notion and gives the incessant torrent of Islamic atrocities a pass.

I can only speculate what sort of heinous crime against humanity the Islamists will need to commit for this globe's population to finally have had enough. I, for one, am not willing to wait around and see. Until there comes some sort of genuine and authentic renunciation of violent jihad and overall reformation, Islam must be banned in all countries that permit freedom of religion. Islam must be declared a political ideology that is incompatible with all democratic processes and eradicated wherever it has taken root.

Even if it were possible to overlook the revolting nature of jihadist terrorism (an impossibility in and of itself), the institutionalized abuse of Muslim women is reason enough to dismantle Islam. Never have I seen such an entrenched credo with so few redeeming qualities to it.
