#1 Give 'em 24 to move back in, then wipe the place.

#2 Hezbollah will declare victory no matter what happens. The question is how seriously people take them. Unfortunately, many of our fellow Westerners, who are normally smart and skeptical people, who pride themselves on being able to see through transparent spin of their own ruling parties, suddenly become susceptible, credulous fools who will swallow any piece of Jihadi propaganda, no matter how ridiculous.

#3 It's an Arab tradition to claim credit for just about everything, no matter how absurd. It's a human tradition for the moonbats and morons and symps and Arabs to believe what suits their fantasies.

You can't fix stupid, you can only tolerate it or kill it.

#5 As long as Hezzy has a remaining working mouth, it will declare victory.....like as long as it has one working ass, it will fart.

No doubt -- the press, by uncritically accepting and repeating the Hezbollah lies, helped them win. The press has a major victory on their hands in this one. I'm sure they feel it makes up for their loss during Rathergate.

Reporters are, by and large, scum. They're traitors to civilization.

#7 If there ain't no more hizbillies, there ain't no more rockets on Israel. There ain't no more war on the border. There ain't no kind of victory. You can't make a victory out of abject defeat. Israel needs to accelerate through the green light and get it done. World opinion usually goes with the winner.

#8 Right now, I'd say their claim is not insubstantial.

#9 I wouldn't be surprised if Israel waits 48 hours and then levels the place with artillery and airpower now that the civies are out of the way.

#10 People, the time to declare victory is when Islam joins the worship of Huitzilopochtli, and not a moment sooner.

#11 Well, as long as they don't start worshiping Great Cthulhu, I'm okay with that... but of course, since old mo' actually was a power-hungry fool deluded by one of the masks of Nyarlathotep, it's practically the same thing, isn't it?

#12 Dump Olmert !
What do they intend to do, go back home for a week and then fight and die for the same piece of dirt again ?
Israel, wake up and attack.Take ground, kill every hezby there and drive the people into refugee camps. Repeat until you run out of hezbies or Lebanon. At that point, replace Lebanon with Syria and repeat the process. Anything else is smoke and baseless rhetoric.
And when the EU comes knockin at your door with a stop action decree, ask them who among them will stop you. France ? Ha, keep attacking.
