1. Hizbollah is a lot tougher this time around. nt

2. The Israeli thugs thought it was going to be a cakewalk.

They have made a colossal strategic blunder. Their mystique of invincibility is getting punctured--that has very bad long term implications for them.

5. Oh, they probably knew this was going to happen.

It's like the WH, they knew perfectly well Iraq was going to be a quagmire. They went ahead and did it anyway because it didn't affect them personally.

7. I think Hizballah putting up a fight is making more Lebanese take up

arms against Israel, few reports on here earlier this hour...?

3. Hezbollah's been preparing for the last six years.

Kind of like the last twenty minutes of the A-Team when they know trouble's coming and they've got to get ready.

:shrug:

4. Lebanese people will great their Israeli liberaters with flowers and candy

6. Israel blew up the candy factories, just flowers this time. ;^)

8. They Are Engaged In Ground Combat Against A Determined, Entrenched

'enemy'. And difficult terrain. Due to the stone/masonry construction, every house in the Middle east is like a mini-pillbox. Urban areas are particularly deadly.

I'm sure glad we avoided this kind of fighting when we occupied Baghdad.

Oh, umm, ahhh . . .

9. They are losing.

IMO, Israel is resorting to atrocities because it just doesn't know what to do anymore. It seems like Hizbollah is a much tougher enemy than they expected.

10. 'WOW' you say?

Is this a spectator sport?
