#1 "Longing", and not "doing", eh?

#2 Does SeethingTM come before, or after LongingTM? This whole things just confuse me.

#3 He promised "surprises."

I hope he plans to be dead by tomorrow. That would be very acceptable surprise.

#5 I hope everyone realizes that if Israel weren't around, they'd be fighting each other. It's really a psycho-social historical cultural regional type of thing.

#6 If Israel weren't around they'd be fighting another neighbor until they got to us.

#9 We "long" for all of them to fight as well. That way they can die quicker and this thing won't drag out through the football season.

#10 He promised "surprises."

Interestingly, one of the translations I heard late last night used this term ("surprises") specifically in the context of hidden/surprising weaponry that Hezzbollah supposedly has. I pray its not what I think it is, but if so, we could see this get really nasty really quick. Of course, it won't last long, if they use chem/bio/nuclear. Israel will open a can so quick, the MM's won't even be able to blink. First, Beirut, then Damascus, then Tehran.

#11 Yes BA, surprises is definitely not what we want to see at the moment.

Is Nasrallah crazy enough to do it? I hope not.

#12 I'ma not holdin' my breath on this one, Tony. Sanity is not these guyz' strong point and neither is the cause/effect realization thingy.
