#1 Good. We need to see more of this "using their own tools agin 'em" type activity.

Hey, if cheat and retreat is good enuf for the Hajjis, it is good enuf for me.

Next on the to-do list: Intimidate "journaists" into a more co-operative frame of mind.

#2 In letters to Lebanese and Israeli leaders, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has warned the two countries against occupying additional territory and told them to refrain from responding to any attacks "except where clearly required in immediate self-defense."

That's our Koffee!

#3 This action is ineffective and signals weakness, not strength. IDF suffered 1 killed, 1 seriously wounded, and killed, by their own accounts, only 3 Hezbollah. They accomplished, as far as can be told, little else. Olmert's incompetence is breathtaking, as is the Israeli public's continued support for him and his party. "My support's at 40%, what should I do?" "Launch a raid to show how tough you are, boss."

#4 What is the basis for the claims of the Lebanese/Hezzies who say that Israel is holding thousands of Lebanese prisoners? Who are these people? Were they all taken prior to the 2000 withdrawal?

I've also read about how the Christian Lebanese who were former allies of Israel are now anti-Israel because they felt they got stiffed by the Israelis. Any info on that would also be helpful.

These seem to be the 2 memes used to justify Hezz's actions. Just looking for the background on it. Thanks to all you perfessers at RBU for this continuing education opportunity!

#5 If Israel had put one acid hit in their orange juice every morning since these Hezb prisoners were jailed... why after all these years there would be no danger in releasing the vegies in any exchange.

#9 To #4 Israel only had about 4 Lebanese prisoners from pre-2000 events. The most prominent of them is in jail for breaking into a home and killing some of the Israeli family there including a 4-year-old: such a brave warrior to kill toddlers! Of course Hizbollah's recent attack has meant there are more prisoners now. But child murderering terrorists should not be included in an exchange of soldiers.

#10 child-murdering terrorists should be in teh ground, not in prison as kidnapping tradebait
