#4 Iblis, you hit the nail on the head. I used to feel a pang of sympathy for the "civilian" populace in Lebanon. If they are in cahoots with Hezbollah they suffer along side them. Maybe a few weeks without power/water they might have second thoughts?

#8 Lebanese Army "Waves Through" Iranian Missiles to Resistance

Maybe a few bombing "waves through" the government's capital infrastructure might change their way of thinking.

I used to feel a pang of sympathy for the "civilian" populace in Lebanon.

Cyber Sarge, when I first arrived here at Rantburg I, too, still had sympathy for a lot of the civilians caught up in these endless conflicts. The more I've had access to un-spun reporting on this matter, the more I've come to realize that a large portion of these populations are tolerant, supportive or overtly complicit in these terrorist activities.

Both the Palestinians and Lebanon have duly elected governments comprised of terrorist factions. The world can no longer go about pretending that there can be no down side to this. Adulation and empowerment of terrorism must bring swift and harsh penalties.

Due to Islam's overall death obsession, the loss of their own youth means nothing. Elsewise, the adult population might have already had second thoughts. Instead, there is no way to authentically negotiate with those who have nothing to lose or fear. Factor in the dissembling nature of taqiya, and suddenly all cease-fires, truces and even negotiations themselves merely become hudnas.

I have come to the conclusion that the only way to end terrorism is through the extermination of terrorists and those who support them. There is no perfidy or betrayal too large or small that they will not indulge in to further their own aims.

Israel has known this for some time and has finally concluded that the growing collaboration between her enemies requires decisive action. I can only applaud what is being done and wish them well.

#9 From the fearless leader of the UN -- he knew about these rockets!

"As the Government of Lebanon has confirmed, the Lebanese Armed Forces has thus not been authorised to prevent further movement of the ammunitions, which had been a common practice for more than 15 years," UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said in a letter to the Security Council in April. "Hezbollah publicly confirmed that the arms were destined for the group."

#12 Former CIA officer Robert Baer, ... whose book See No Evil inspired the film Syriana, spent a couple of weeks with Hezbollah last year, touring its facilities.

Now there's a ringing endorsement. Personally, I don't think I'm gonna take Baer's opinions to the bank - especially since Hezb's banks are in a bit of disarray right now.

#14 As I recall, Mr. Baer was not at all pleased with the film.

#15 Sherry, I think he meant the original link to the news article, not ItM. See post #1, Legolas for linky-poo, looks like Cap'n forgot it, even after the other mods reminding us about posting the links to the news article you're putting up, lol!

Thanks for the info. So, you mean someone in Hollywood changed the story around to fit a political agenda? I'm shocked - shocked, I tell you!

#19 I have read Mr. Baer's book, it was interesting, it's been at least a year, but as I recall, he tried to be pretty neutral on the israeli/arab issue. seems like if anything I got the idea that he tended to take the arab point of view, but like I said its been awhile.

Sarge , it doesn't matter if the Lebanese have second thoughts. They have been designated as scrificial bunnies. BABY DUCKS!

#22 We were watching a short clip in ABC or NBC (does it matter?) and there, amidst the burned-out rubble of a bombed building in Southern Lebanon, was an "arrangement" of four or five children's stuffed animals. "Wow, those are so nice and clean," thought we, "and look how nicely arranged they are . . . " Believe it or not, the average person would be suseptible to this kind of Hezbo PR, and will turn against Israel. Kind of makes me sick. As does all the talk of allowing Lebanese to police the border. More than half (generous estimate) are in league with the "resistance." Not a good idea at all. Kudos to mcsgeek for the Russell Case quote. Just got done watching that this weekend. Priceless--thanks.

#23 BA...3 slaps on the cheek for me.

I posted the article and then the linky in rapid succession, so as not to offend the intolerable.

Before gripping, please look at the comments. You are embarrassing yourselves.

#26 No "gripping" meant, Cap'n. I just personally found it ironic because I'd just finished readin' the mods slap down of US ALL about ensuring the linky-poo is there when you post a story. I post so few, that I've pretty much guaranteed myself to posty linky. Guys/gals like you who post numerous stories/day, I understand missing the linky thingy every once in a while. No harm, no foul.
