Just Curious - If Any Americans Get Killed In Lebanon By The Israeli's....
how will the U.S. deal with that? Also - if any American's get killed in Israel by the Lebanese/Hizbollah how will the U.S. deal with that?

Do you think the answer is the same for both?

1. CBS said we can't get our civilians out because...
the amphibious craft we need to do it are too busy in Iraq.

Remember: We have our troops running around in Duck Tour boats, miles away from any body of water, because we're fighting with the army we have... not the army we need or want.

2. No
the response wouldn't be the same. The US considers H'zbollah a terroist group and Israel an ally. The response in any case, whether it's Americans in Lebanon killed by Israel or Amdricans in Israel killed by H'zbollah, would be verbal.

6. In the case of Hezbollah......
....killing Americans would be murder, coldblooded and calculated. If Americans get killed by Israeli Soldiers it would be an unfortunate, accidental casualty.....I can hear Bush now.......
