1. but... but... but...

I thought the Lebanese military was going to take up arms against Hezbollah?!

:sarcasm:

2. Well

Looks like that Israeli plan to turn the Lebanese people against Hezbollah has gone to shit.

3. You must think outside the proverbial box

Any major success against Hezbollah would scuttle the objective of occupying Lebanon in order to facilitate the coming attacks on Syria and Iran.

4. gee-- might they have the right to defend themselves...

...against a "terrorist army massed on their border?"

5. It was only a matter of time, I'm not surprised

Israel has been bombing the hell out of them, I guess they feel as if they have no choice.

10. When their country is under attack they can't just stand by...who would/

Israel is bringing in more troops so it all escalates. Lebanon is to be the test ground for Bush's beginning of WWIII, I guess.

Will the world stand by much longer watching this? What are they to do as Bush flings the ME into flames? They know that we here in America with our huge debt and stretched thin in Iraq and Afghanistan plus other areas will eventually go down ....just like Rome. Only ours will be quicker...

6. so what will Wolf Blister and the likes on CNN call the Lebonese army?

what directive will they be getting in this matter?

guerillas? insurgents? terrorists? hizbollah sympathisers?

I don't think 'army' will be used much.

7. All muslims are terrorists
