#1 Hey! Anybody noticed that we haven't seen our old buddy Levant around here lately? Guess he got tired of having his head (and other body parts) handed to him on a regular basis, particularly now that Israel is soundly kicking Hezb's butt. AMF!

#2 lotta hand-wringing. As if Mugniyeh can turn the tide by himself. His appointment signals desperation, rather than Debka's take

#3 Mugniyeh's career could be short-lived. No loss to mankind--actually a great improvement if he does get one dropped on his head by the Israelis. Mugniyeh was linked to Saddam Hussein as far as I can tell. Mugniyeh is AQ. Thought there was no love lost between Bin Ladin's AQ and Nasserallah. Goes to show there are linkages between these terrorists organizations that was and is being denied in the MSM. As is said, blood is thicker than water. All of these groups are terrorists and need to be regarded as the enemy. Nasserallah said he had no issue with the U.S. There should be a movie made along the lines of algore movie entitled "A Convenient Lie." The terrorists would lie to their mothers if convenient to their end goal which is the end of the West. I have heard the MSM refer to the islamofacists as "rebels and insurgents" and believe it or not "freedom fighters." These people are murderous thugs. They are the worst of the worst and should be treated accordingly. The true freedom fighters are the found in the West. The islamofacists enslave countries like a cancer rather than liberate them. The islamofacists create nothing but chaos and destruction--they destroy everything and build nothing. Darkness falls around them wherever they go.

#4 Poor Mr. Levant ran out of steam after mocking my luxuriant moustache, mac. And oddly enough, he'd somehow got the idea that I might want to dance with him at some imaginary party. Very confusing -- perhaps he'd taken some of the drugs his daddy was transhipping from the Bekaa for Cousin Bashir? I did wonder how a Syrian boy with such good English got internet access to the West...

#5 Rockets on Haifa Launched from Kana
22:42 Aug 06, '06 / 12 Av 5766


(IsraelNN.com) The IDF has stated that Hizbullah terrorists used the village of Kana as a launching site for the deadly rocket attack on Haifa Sunday evening. Air Force planes destroyed one of the rocket launchers.

More than two dozen people, including children, were killed in the village more than a week ago when Israel bombed Hizbullah terrorist sites in the village. The IDF has released aerial photographs showing that terrorists used the village's buildings as a cover for trucks carrying rocket launchers.

#6 Stop lying "trailing wife." All of your readers can check the earlier post where you most kindly requested me to be on your dance card on the Halloween ball that you Rantburgers hold yearly. And all of your readers can also check the post where one of your writers talked about your problem with facial hair. And here are some excellent sites for you to post your verbose articles on...fasthorses.com, adiorondackracetrack.com, hairybears.com (Children's series by Enid Blyton), selfconfidencebooster.com (This is a sight for unattractive women who also have extensive political/historical knowledge-I mean lady nerds).

As for the war-today was another day for massive "Israeli" casualties-16 dead and over a 100 injured and many more in shock. Don't get decieved by the low number of deaths on the "Israeli" side and the high number of deaths on our side. I consider western weapons "sissy pant" weapons. They are great for us. Tons of explosives causing us painless death and instant transportation to the next life with its awesome sensual pleasures. Yaaahoooo and Thank You!!!
As for our weapons-our rockets and missiles have their warheads filled with ball bearings-these are, upon impact, shot out at incredible velocities over hundreds of meters, ripping open testicles and eye balls. They leave their victims alive but in the MOST EXCRUCIATING PAIN. No wonder millions of "Israelis" are running to bomb shelters, and hospital wards are full of shock victims. They are dead scared as if a killer is always stalking them. Hardy Har HAAR HAAAAAAR HAAAAAAAR!!!!!

#12 The poor, deluded thing is posting via Syria, Redneck Jim. Definitely Mossad territory... or just straight to the IDF Intelligence boys. Perhaps when Oldspook pokes his head in he can give one of his old friends a heads up.

I wonder what I said that hit such a nerve. And so quickly after I posted, too, y'all will note -- he must have been lurking here for days, hitting Refresh at frequent intervals... the last sentence in my post perhaps?

Mr. Levant, the readers here can indeed read the archives to see exactly what was said. Which is why I'm not worried, and you should be; big talk and windy insults do not pursuade here like they do in your part of the world, a critical detail you've not managed to absorb along with your extensive English grammar lessons. Perhaps Cousin Bashir's government will survive long enough for you to learn to live in the bigger world.

#14 When Levant dies, he is going where there is awesome sensual pleasures. The problem, bubblehead is you will be dead. When you're dead, can you see ? Can you hear ? Can you taste ? Can you feel ? Can you smell ?
I think most would agree with me that when you are dead, you will smell. I also think that you are far too stupid to understand what I'm writing. Allah sucks, live with it. You see, I can write about Allah and this god of yours does nothing about it. He, Allah is powerless. He like Mohammed is a fake and you are too stupid to figure it out. Death will be a step up for you won't it ?

#15 Oh, I hope not, bombay. Normal men do not fixate on other people's wives; they form a healthy relationship of their very own.

wxjames, only successful jihadis go to that Paradise, and Mr. Levant shows no signs of qualifying. Besides, he's an Alawite, and everyone knows they are damned heretics.

#16 Hey Levant. Have you ever wondered why those 72 virgins you have your heart (or whatever) set on so much cannot be 'deflowered'? Allan has promised you that they will be 'forever virgin' didn't he?

Do you think maybe they cannot physically be deflowed because -- some vital piece of equipment is missing? Has Allen promised you they would be 'complete'? That you would be complete and functional? Has he promised you viagra? No?

Hmm.... sounds like that might be hell for a person as fixated on 'sensual pleasures' as you are.

#17 Oh FFS Levant, get a grip. In other words try a bit harder...and I quote;

Quite apart from sounding like some bad mixture of Yosemite Sam and Marvin the Martian, you are missing the point, which is; Hizbollocks are having theirs handed to them on a silver platter, the Israelis are being giving the green light by the US (at last), the Syrians can't find their arses with both hands and are realising that they've bought into a bigger game than their mortgage can handle and the Iranians are still waiting for some dork to come out of a friggin well!

And there's still the carrier groups...where are they?

Got any thoughts?

#21 Levant must be very proud. Like the mortars fired by Hizb'allah into Syria, their rocket aim is just as good. It seems Levant's heroes can no more hit Jews than the Syrian army, but they are quite proficient at killing fellow Arabs. Israeli Arabs: Finish off Nasrallah

Perhaps Hizzbie's aim will improve if Bashir gave each and every one an eye exam.

#23 "Don't get decieved by the low number of deaths on the "Israeli" side and the high number of deaths on our side."

We aren't: it means you're losing.

"Tons of explosives causing us painless death and instant transportation to the next life with its awesome sensual pleasures."

Headed for Pimp Daddy Allah's Cosmic Whorehouse In The Sky, are ya? Don't forget to take condoms (hint: they're NOT virgins).

"Yaaahoooo and Thank You!!!"

You're welcome, Idiot.

"As for our weapons-our rockets and missiles have their warheads filled with ball bearings-these are, upon impact, shot out at incredible velocities over hundreds of meters, ripping open testicles and eye balls."

That's true enough, in principle; except your rockets seldom manage to hit anything. In four weeks of fighting, and after firing some 3,000 rockets, you've managed to kill barely three dozen Jews. Why? Are you too stupid to aim at something?

#24 No, no, they are aiming just fine. The Zionist pigs with their American allies are using space ray weapons to re-aim the rockets on Arabs in the area. Damn, don't you know anything?

#25 Don't get decieved by the low number of deaths on the "Israeli" side and the high number of deaths on our side.

We aren't. You're succumbing at a much greater rate. The Arab fixation on past greatness also seems to include desperately clinging to ineffective, outdated technology and warfare strategies.

I consider western weapons "sissy pant" weapons. They are great for us. Tons of explosives causing us painless death and instant transportation to the next life with its awesome sensual pleasures. Yaaahoooo and Thank You!!!

They are "great for us" too. You die in large numbers and we don't. And good riddance to you, as well. It must do wonders for your legendary detestation of humiliation to have such effete "sissy pant" weapons blowing your collective @sses straight to he|| while we sit back and have another cold beer.

#26 Besides, this needs to be pointed out to at least one of them that can read (I assume he's one of them, as the defence of them is so strong)

Your heroic martydom tactics are actually useless. Your motivated poplutation, the ones that can actually make a difference, and would make your future leadership are sacrificed early.

This leaves the bottom of the barrel, cowardly masses, to um, hold the tourch. Good job.

Problem is, once the West truly has enough (not like today's turning over when bit by a mosquito and going back to sleep), we'll pull out the stops and it is peace out big time.

Imagine a Japan back with divine wind tactics, only this time on our side. Or America willing to firebomb, or even nuke again - you think we are evil colonialist empire now, just wait.

Give up, it is your only chance to actually meet your salvation.

#30 I for one am truly pleased Levant appears on RB and makes comments like the last. Besides the obvious that someone of his persuasion should be carrying a weapon and doing Lion of Islam tasks (I mean the heroic things they talk about, not the actual hiding behind women and children and pretending to be civilians when not backshooting). We are arriving at a tipping point in the world, and not a moment too soon. War with much of Islam is upon the West, and most of our compatriots are either asleep, ignorant, too frightened to act, or a combination of the three. The islamic fifth column is already here, and it is going to be damn hard to root it out without some outrage. So rant on you dumb Sh--head, wake my nation up, actually get us angry, and then watch the mass transit system we set up to send you and yours to your moonbat, B.S. god.....

#31 Levant, before I was being flippant, now I'm serious.

Read what bombay has said - the West is not as weak as you think, and unless things change, there will be carnage. Example; read up on the Rand corporation, and Herman Kahn, he wrote a book On Thermonuclear War where he envisaged a winnable general nuclear war with hundreds of millions of deaths (some people don't like him because he thought 'the unthinkable', but his reasoning was sound). By the way, Donald Rumsfeld and Condaleeza Rice amongst others have been associated with the Rand corporation... Also, the United States has plans for fighting almost every conceivable war, and you can be certain that those plans have been changed since 9/11. My point is, the West has had 60 years of living with the ability to kill everyone on the planet, and has come up with various weapons systems and protocols to ensure that ability would always be available. At the moment, ability is not married to intention - pray it remains that way.

Do not be taken in by idiots screaming 'no blood for oil', the West is not weak, and if necessary it will coldly and clinically do what has to be done.

You would be well advised to pass that message onto as many people as you can, because time is running out (eg see the other post today about a Pak scholar ruminating about 'pious men in beards' and nukes in the US - this would be a marrying of ability and intention and it would be...unwise)

If this carries on, that old joke about Arabs and Star Trek might be seen to be quite prescient.

#32 I had to look it up.

"
The Saudi Ambassador to the UN has just finished giving a speech and walks out into the lobby where he meets President Bush.

They shake hands and as they walk the Saudi Ambassador says, "You know, I have just one question about what I have seen in America."

President Bush says, "Well your Excellency, anything I can do to help you, I will do.

The Saudi whispers, "My son watches this show 'Star Trek' and in it there are Russians, Blacks, and Asians, but never any Arabs. He is very upset. He doesn't understand why there are never any Arabs in 'Star Trek.'"

President Bush laughs and leans toward the Saudi, and whispers back, "It's because it takes place in the future...."

#34 there's still the carrier groups...where are they?

If you mean the US carrier groups, it appears the navy hasn't been updating its status of the fleet page quite as often as it sometimes does. No doubt they're out and about on training missions or such.

Uh huh.

can we track his IP address

Yes, of course. But there's no need to pass it along to authorities. As TW correctly points out, in Syria connections of that particular sort are monitored by several agencies already. If Levant manages anything other than his adolescent neener-neener taunts, it is already known and if now, well then his hot air here is the (rather unimpressive) biggest achievement.

#38 I have a friend in Israel, someone I trade postage stamps with. He's a colonel in the Israeli Army, and some kind of judge. We haven't discussed his duties... He knows I worked in Air Force intelligence, and sends me tidbits from time to time. It's interesting just what Israel DOES know. They're not QUITE as far-reaching as NSA and a few other places, but they do keep close tabs on the Middle East. I doubt they have to read Rantburg to keep tabs on what "Levant" and any other arab on the internet say.
