#1 Israeli negotiators are in contact with the village heads on terms for their evacuation so that Hizballah sites can be smashed.

I would suppose it would sound something like this: "Leave or die".

#2 Stopping re-supply by taking out the trucks is the key point. The Hezzies don't have an unlimited number of missiles and they can't make their own. Once rocket fire is substantially reduced, it'll be Round 1 to Israel. Round 2 will be the creation a level buffer zone near the border.

#3 Round 2 will be the creation a level buffer zone near the border.

And exactly how wide will such a buffer zone need to be?

#4 You can't but help to feel sorry for all of the good people over there (Muslim, Christian, Jews, Druze, whatever) whose lives and property are being sacrificed to create "utopia".

#5 The answer, DanNY is however far the missiles reach...which is now - what? 150 km?

#6 That's a big-ass buffer zone.

#7 Maybe the former nazi pope can go "condemning" someone or other.

#8 Actually the vast majority of their rockets are fairly short range (12 km or less), so a strip that wide would put 80 -90% of their missles out of range of the border.

P.S. The "human shield" aspect is one reason I suspect a ground invasion will be necessary.

How wide is Lebanon?

#10 "Hizballah is using Lebanese Christians as human shields"

The truth is that most of these Christians are Catholic. I wonder if the Vatican knew that before their press release supporting Hizballah. I believe the Vatican's disdain for the Jews (i.e. Replacement Theory Theology) is clouding their better judgement.

#11 They are also Orthodox PR, which could explain the silence. Remembering the Catholics led the Moslems into the Orthodox side of the Church of the Nativity, where the Moslems totalled desecrated the church, altar, etc.

#12 ex-lib,

I will never, never, never, ever, forget. Since, this is lunch time, I won't get into the details of what the Muslims did in the church.

#13 You're correct, PR. The term "desecration" would be way too mild for what the mooselimbs did.
