#1 Wouldn't change much but it would be gratifying to get him so soon after he unilatterally declared open war. Is the intelligence and targeting of IDF that good? Or did they get lucky? Or, were there 3rd parties (Saudis) who may have ratted him out? (This is hard to believe, we know the non-hizzie Lebs wanted him dead and the region's Sunni bigwigs were unhappy with him too but it's hard to imagine them helping Israel.) Or is this just a wild rumor, the typical kind that flies around during such times?

#4 Why is it hard to believe, Monsieur Moonbat? Most of Israel's intelligence in the Palestinian territories comes from friends and neighbors tired of the shenanigans, and not long ago when Israel occupied the Hizb'allah portion of Lebanon, they had strong support from other sections of Lebanese society. And ratting out is a key factor in Arab culture, predating Islam.

#5 It would be a nice irony if some of the Hizb prisoners released in a one sided exchage in 2004 where actually IDF intel sources who had a hand in 'hurting' Nasr allah

#6 I was suspicious when they released a pre-recorded tape after his HQ and home were bombed. This would be too good to be true, symbolically.

#12 Just watched (on Fox) Nazi giving one of those windy press statements. He's not dead and didn't appear hurt.

Of course the content was bullshit (Zionists targetting civilians, we're not, yadda3) and laughable.

#13 Hard to say on the 'hurt'. He didn't move around much and didn't show his arms or legs.

#15 Too bad. Next time they will get it on video to confirm the targeting and his death.
