Jewish Air Force is causing great damage to Hezbollah!

Thank God that Muslims/Arabs, and other Jew haters, are low IQ, cowardly and unskilled!

From the Jerusalem Post:

===> "IAF Commander Maj.-Gen. Eliezer Shkedy said on Sunday that the IAF had only used "a small proportion of its fire power" in its attacks on Lebanon, adding that it was the IDF's prerogative how much of its military capability to use and warning that "the other side should consider all its alternatives."

"Our fighter jets have made over 1000 flights and our attack helicopters over 350," said Shkedy at the daily IDF briefing.

"The results of our operations have been good and the targeting precise. The effects are accumulating and they will be very influential," he said with satisfaction.

The IAF commander explained that Hizbullah infrastructure had been targeted in the north, south and center of Lebanon.

Shkedy added that sea, air and land routes to and from Lebanon had been closed off, severely damaging Hizbullah's ability to operate and blocking all links with Syria."<===

The enormous, but backward and inept Arabs/Muslim world has already lost five wars to the small nation of Jews. Soon it will be SIX wars won by Jews. This time, it will set back deranged Islamic terrorism for decades! A significant and total victory by Jews over Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah will also help the U.S. win the war in Iraq, and help to bring freedom and democracy AND a civilized society to Iraq.

Three cheers to Israel! to the IDF! to the IAF! and to the greatest nation of all times, the United States of America!!!

The IDF will indeed enter Lebanon, or whatever is left of it by the time they are done destroying their military capabilities.

This war has been a long time coming, (as discussed at the beginning of this thread) and the US Marines will soon join in to exact their price for the 25 years of mayhem wrought by the Ayatollah's.

Iran will be pressed to enter to fray or cower down in the face of over-whelming force, both militarily, and politically.

If you saw the G-8 press coverage, you saw a relaxed and jovial George Bush, and a very tense Boris Yeltsin, opps, I meant Vlad Putin, the Yukos criminal.

The world is behind the IDF,

pity the Iranians should they think this is their time.

the US is itching for them to take their shot.

The Syrians are shitting in their pants, because they know the IDF is monitoring every aspect of their movements and the Americans are watching from the bleechers, keeping their powder dry.

The Ayatoallah's better read up on the Gulf of Tonkin because there may be another one brewing.

In and out without a scratch: Israeli raid sends ground forces into Lebanon
MATT MOORE

Associated Press

JERUSALEM — Israeli ground troops entered southern Lebanon to attack Hezbollah bases on the border, but they rapidly returned to Israel after conducting their military operations, officials said Monday.

Israel's six-day-old offensive against Hezbollah following the capture of two Israeli soldiers has been primarily an aerial campaign, but government spokesman, Asaf Shariv, said the Israeli army chief of staff confirmed that ground troops had gone into Lebanon, if only briefly.

A military official, insisting on anonymity, said a small group of Israeli troops had crossed into Lebanon overnight to attack a Hezbollah position but then returned to Israel.

“There was a small operation in a very limited area overnight,” the official said. “That is over.”

Israel has been reluctant to send ground troops into southern Lebanon, an area that officials say has been heavily mined by Hezbollah and could lead to many Israeli casualties.

Israel would also want to quickly withdraw from the area, rather than get involved in a prolonged conflict like its 18-year occupation of southern Lebanon that ended in May, 2000. The bloody nature of the fighting at the that time and the high number of casualties finally forced the government to cave into public pressure to withdraw from southern Lebanon and end the contentious occupation.

In Damascus, meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Monday that a ceasefire and a prisoner swap would be “acceptable and fair” in the Israeli-Lebanese conflict.

Mr. Mottaki was speaking after talks with Syrian Vice-President Farouk al-Sharaa.

“We believe that we should think of an acceptable and fair (deal) to resolve this,” he said. “In fact, there can be a ceasefire followed by a prisoner swap.”

On Sunday, Lebanese officials said that Israel had sent the terms of a possible ceasefire through Italian mediators. The terms were the release of two captured Israeli soldiers, and a Hezbollah pullback to roughly 30 kilometres from the Israeli-Lebanese border.

Mr. Mottaki did not take questions.
