File under: Hezbollah

#1 I wonder how long the pretense that Lebanon is a country will go on?

#2 ...And with the airport secured, the Iranians can start flying in 'humanitarian' aid, one AK-47 at a time.

#3 Hezbies massing?
Can't the govt. figure out what to do when the enemy masses? They have planes don't they? A fuel/air device would prolly do the trick.

#4 Can't do that bigjim. When Hezbullies mass they do it in schoolyards and hospitals and apartment blocks amongst throngs of baby ducks and fluffy bunnies.

#5 Duck and rabbit both taste good, MS. (Granted, the little ones don't have much meat.)

And with an fuel/air burst, they'd be pre-cooked! :-D

#6 Napalm 'em. It sends a message: "Not only are you not welcome, but we'll see to it you don't get to paradise, and if you do, your 'virgins' will be scared sick at the sight of you".

Hezbollah needs a serious thumping, and Nasrullah needs to be the guest of honor at a necktie party. The freedom of Lebanon demands it. If asked, we need to help out - if for nothing else, for repayment for 1983. No troops on the ground, but round-the-clock bombing, strafing, and recon.

#7 If they are massing at the airport and besieging passengera, perhaps they are out in the open and concrete doesn't offer much concealment

#8 They have planes don't they?

No. They have about 40 helos: Alouettes, UH-1s and some Robinson R44s.

They did set up a rig to be able to drop a bomb from an Alouette, and used it during the refugee camp battle. Might be hard to deliver napalm with any kind of effectiveness.

#9 the US has planes though that they can't see coming so we should send them a couple of strikes too help out. since iran wants too fight a proxy war in Iraq then we should do do in lebanon
