#1 This event should be watched very closely. Iran will have a major gateway to Israel and the Mediterranean if the Hezbollah succeeds. The potential for this conflict is major as all those UN troops will be caught in the middle and Israel might get involved again too.

#6 the A.P also reported the Lebanese PM as "Holed up". The A.P. WANTS Iran and Syria to control the entire MidEast...and to destroy Israel in the process.

#9 Where were the dozens of Israeli fighters with napalm? This would be a perfect time to do serious damage to Hezbollah and its "allies". The rest of the world hates Israel, so what would another "incident" mean? Maybe they'd even be able to get Nasty - in both forms.

#11 According to the latest update posted at Michael Totten's site :

Excerpt:

Update. The Hizbullah militia has laid siege to the government building, trapping the prime minister and cabinet ministers inside. Roadblocks were set up by Hizbullah members in what can only be described as coup d'etat.

The Lebanese army had to call Nabih Berri, and the Saudi King had to intervene through his ambassador, to "partially" remove the siege. Hizbullah "tents" are still on the roads, isolating the government building.

#13 A few well-placed car bombs as that rally could have shifted Lebanese demographics rather seriously.

#16 Hezbollah leaders had asked people not to wave the yellow flag of their movement, which features a fist holding a Kalashnikov rifle.

Hmm . . . .

#17 Islamofascism is on the march.

Democracy is on the retreat.

Western misperception of the Muslim concept of "freedom" is the enemy's most dangerous weapon.

#18 "Western misperception of the Muslim concept of "freedom" is the enemy's most dangerous weapon."

You sure got that right Sneaze--along with Western misperception of Muslims, period.

#19 Iran already has a major gateway to Israel, Tholumble Crealing1920. But, with "prowestern" Seniora gone, Israel will be able to do something about it (last time IDF had leg irons & one hand tied behind the back because George II wanted to preserve the Chedar Revolution)
