Helicopter-borne Israeli commandos raided a Hizbollah bastion on Saturday in what Lebanon called a "naked violation" of the U.N.-backed truce that halted Israel's 34-day war with the Shi'ite Muslim group.
Israel said the operation in Lebanon's eastern Bekaa Valley aimed to disrupt weapons supplies to Hizbollah from Syria and Iran. Both countries deny arming the group.
Lebanese security sources said three Hizbollah guerrillas were killed in a dawn firefight with the Israeli commandos. The Israeli army said it had suffered one dead and two wounded.
Huzah! Hezbollah gets more sympathy from people around the world because Israel couldn't keep it's pants zipped and it's wick dry!
You know, if I had balls as big as Israel's I'd have trouble keeping my pants zipped, too.
Showing a great deal of maturity (well, more than Israel, anyway), Lebanon is responding with hulluva restraint. According to [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5268418.stm|an August 20, 2006 article] at http://News.BBC.co.uk :
Lebanon's defence minister says anyone firing rockets at Israel from the south will be considered a traitor and be firmly dealt with by the army.
Elias Murr's remarks are being seen as a warning to militias, but he also expressed confidence Hezbollah was committed to the UN-brokered truce.
This warning to Hezbo came after the LebGov warned Israel and the UN that any more of this shit from Israel and no Lebanese troops would be showing up at the southern border--in other words, pull any more shit, and the cease-fire is off, bitches!
Why so many swear words in this post? Well, I heard Bush swear, so, I figure if he does it...
Oil needed another boost anyway, maybe up to $100.oo before the end of the year. Keep that mid-east fired up! I think it's all a big game played on both sides for mutual money goals. I for one am ready to storm the field; the whole game is fixed, I think, so how can I even pick any sides here?????????????All sounds like bull shit to me. I rather watch the WWE it's the same thing with all the bookers in the world game having more wealth than God while most people starve on this planet.
ReplyDeleteThose are some very good points, Bob. I'm ready to storm the field, too--though I'll do it in the form of using as little oil-products as I can. Of course, plastic is unavoidable, but I did sell my car years ago in favor of a scooter which has just died on me. So, I'm taking the bus while I save up for a motorcycle that gets 45-50 mpg. How many cars out there do that well, I wonder...
ReplyDeleteI posted on the wrong board, sorry Pete. I know I have a bad habit of doing that.
