#1 These jokers would turn a good $hit into a victory. They got the self-aggrandizement and propaganda thingee down good. Hezbollah will get theirs soon enough.

#2 A straight record is when Islam is disproven daily, like it is, and slugs like you die in cockroach dens. The Bible will stand.

#3 If that is divine victory... then what's a break even or a loss?

#4 If Israel had any brains they would make sure this little set piece gets blown to smithereens while at full occupancy.

"Yah, sure, alla youse cluster up and celebrate yer steenkin' 'victory' whilst we slip you another shiv."

#5 A straight record is when Islam is disproven daily, like it is

I gotta say, newc, how this is one single thing that is totally absent from the West's arsenal. Every day, Islam digs us another gold mine of disinformation and outright lies. Take the Iranian battleship footage or their so-called "new" fighter jet, for example. We need to trumpet these prevarications and mistruths for the entire planet to ~~laugh at~~ hear, in order to begin permanently eroding Islam's credibility on the world stage.

It is a signal failure of the current administration that they do not leverage this tremendous asset and opportunity. As we well know, high context Muslim cultures are extremely sensitive to humiliation. If they perceived their terrorist coreligionists as evoking constant ridicule and belittlement upon them, it might begin to turn things around. Imagine, if you will, the sort of rage those Mohammed cartoons incited and then internalize that aggression within Islam itself. The damage done could be huge.

#6 Ah, the ultimate weapon, the "cartoon bomb." However, I do agree Zenster, we don't use propaganda effectively. We don't even utilize the truth effectively. If the truth about islam were made widespread and well-known, we would not as the Great Satan even have to demonize islam. How about we use the truth bomb?
