#1 Good for the good guys! Stand tall, Lebanon army... you got those protest babes standing with you! Flash back on those pictures we all saw.... you make them proud.... (and ignore those guys in the shadows, that I hope we have there)

#2 Taha said most of the civilians fled Nahr al-Bared except some who remained to fight alongside them.

Hmmmm. Doesn't that imply that they're, umm, in fact militants? Or is there some other way of distinguishing between them say, for example, uniforms? Or is that too obvious.

#3 Superhose they must have added the 39 mutants to the death count since they now are reporting 230 dead. I'm hoping the Lebanese Army gets that number up a bit.

#4 This is how you win a war. Keep hitting them until they beg you to stop and agree to all demands.

The only thing I would add is demand is that they disarm and meet in the town square for public apologies to the people they terrorized.

Then whoever showed up would be killed. The rest hunted down and killed.
