#1 Didn't we read yesterday about this Leb army is so lacking in all things, using Huey's and manually pushing bombs out of them! Rigging "stuff" with any other "stuff" they can find.

These guy deserve some big time hero stuff...

Bet there are lots of Marines who would volunteer to get there and help them!

#2 Lebanon's army is lacking all things? time to dust off Roosevelt's "Lend and Lease".

#3 Redirect any funds which would we would provide for the arming of Palestinian forces to the Lebanese army and solve two problems at once.

#5 Hasn't the 'Surrendor or Die' option been the one consistent thing throughout this whole operation? Other than the multiple 'Final Pushes,' of course...

#6 Other than the multiple 'Final Pushes,' of course...

USN, I'd give the Lebs the benefit of inexperience. They're Muslims, used to shooting their mouths off like this stuff. "Mother of all battles" and crap like that. After they start getting used to being feared and dangerous because, well, they ARE fearsome and dangerous, they'll realize that "do", not "talk", is the coin of the military realm.
