Reply #47: IRAN called the shots on this Lebanon evolution, but I take your point [View All]

They chose the date, the time, and the method. This was all about disrupting the G8 discussions on Iran's nuke program, and shifting the debate back to middle east instability and how it's all Israel's fault.

Plus, Iran got a LOT of their newest, just-tweaked rockets tested against the day that they arm one with a tactical nuke.

Sure, they can pretend it has something to do with Palestine, in desperate effort to ally themselves with an established resistance, but even if every blessed Filistine packed up, said screw this sandbox, and moved to Kenya, happily, there would still be a move to 'push those Jews into the sea'--it's in the charters of all these militias/resistance outfits/terror gangs to so do. It's also in the speeches in the Iranian majlis every other day.

When Jordan, Egypt, AND Saudi Arabia say that Hizb'Allah was OUT OF LINE in attacking Israel from Lebanon, that's saying something.
