#1 Syria revs up the hezb crazies and plants a big sign on their back: "hit me". Assad and his military were shown for the pussies they are when the IAF can waltz in to 18km from the capital, take out a terror camp, and fly home free. Go ahead Nasrallah, Lebanon's south and east will be smoking holes

#2 Senior leaders of the Lebanese-based Hizbollah group warned that the raid, on an alleged Palestinian training camp, would inflame a border that had been relatively quiet for 30 years.

Hizbollah musta missed the Israeli invasion thing in 1982.

I guess then support for Hizbollah, the folks (I may be mistaken on this) responsible for the murder of some 280 Marines in 1982 goes through Syria, and with the distribution of SAMs, the ball is in Israel's court.

This changes the region," said Mohammad Raad, the deputy leader of Hizbollah. "It demands that the resistance groups increase pressure on Israel. In the south of Lebanon, this means Hizbollah has the responsibility for aggression towards Israel. We are moving towards regional war."

I would have to agree, except that Hizbollah has been conducting a regional war since 1982. The way I understand it, even though there have been air strikes on the position a coupla months ago, there remains a grouping of artillery/MRLs in southern Lebanon maintained by Hizbollah, and to me is the strongest indication of their intentions to strike at Israel. It is worth noting at this point this artillery park has been there for at least two years I am aware of.

I guess we didnt see any mention of those guns in any news reports, not particularly this one, did we?
