#2 How soon before Hez starts keeping their head man a secret... or tries to?

#3 These days, being chief of Hezbollah is sort of like being as Supreme Court justice in the US = a lifetime job.
The difference is the justices live a lot longer.

#4 I think we're at the stage when Hez announces the janitor as new head honcho while the real head walks around with a broom.

#7 You bet on an event: What takes longer, the event or a cabbage to wilt.

So will Safieddine last longer than a cabbage?

#8 A good question. It depends how many other projects the IDF and Mossad have coming to a bpoil at the moment. And whether they want to catch him alone or go for the dramatic efficiency of a group again. They must have limited ammunition, etc, while they clearly have nearly unlimited targets… and they clearly know exactly where all those targets are. Seriously — who had get PFLP Number 1 in Beirut on their card, not just for September but ever at all? Honestly, it’s beyond my ability to calculate.
