1. Sneaky Hezbollah Is Hiding Behind the 20 Wounded Xtians! |
|
Obviously, so those wounded people should be super mad at Hezbollah and totally forgiving of the ones that dropped the bombs on them / sarcasm!!

He HATES Hezbollah. Doesn't like Israel either but blames Hezbollah more than Israel.

5. It Seems Israel Is Doing Their Best To Change His Mind |
|
And minds are changing in that direction all over Lebanon, they are bombing areas that used to feed Israeli soldiers during the last occupation! What the hell do they hope to accomplish by all of this? They are pumping up Hezbollah and proving that they cannot disarm, as there is no other defense, there is no Lebanese Army to speak of -- Israel is being a chump IMO, they are losing World opinion and they really can't afford that. Just like we did OBL's bidding by getting rid of Saddam. Isreal & US are both being run by zealots, and dumb ones at that.

4. "Lebanese security officials" have been on a roll recently. |
|
Wait for the dust to clear before believing the numbers. Possibly true, even probably true, but I'll wait.
This morning's news had a 1:40 truth ratio. That's a bit skimpy on the accuracy even for wartime.

7. Maybe the Lebenon Govt. is keeping their Troops out |
|
of the conflict because Israel has told them that if they engage that there will be an all out assult on the country? So far, Israel has not bombed any Govt. facilities.

But they're not evangelical Christians, so they don't count.

10. Unfortunately, you're right... |
|
A few years ago, someone asked one of the "we need Israel to help bring about the Second Coming" fundie leaders how he could justify his opposition to a Palestinian state with the fact that many Palestinians are Christian. Aha, he said, but they're not Bible-believing Christians. When asked how he could tell that, he replied that true Bible-believing Palestinian Christians would support the "Biblical" notion that all the Occupied Territories belong to the Jews alone. :crazy:
