Sorry But I have reply again. Israel, based on Nicole post earlier would only fight the "small and helpless" children. Nicole's post "so it is okay to kill children in Beirut and Quana." So what is your Idea, what should Israel do? wait till they grow into the bearded terrorists? Why not kill them now? While they are small and helpless Other Arab nation might notice and decide not to play host Hamas or Hezbollah. Of corse if they care about their kids (if not it is just a waste of bombs)

I have been right here all along asshole. Ask Sarman, we have chatted amicably today. Your credentials are very well known to this thread and others and your racism is clear in your post. Go to hell and back on ignore.

I heard that Hezbollah is the most disciplined organization around. There were no leaks and no infiltrators so Israel's intelligence had little information. They didn't know what to expect or their info was outdated. That's Israel's excuse. Bushies have no such excuse in Iraq.

Hizbullah didn't "stop" Israel, though they will claim it - Where are the Israelis? Still in Israel? No, they hold Lebanon south of the Litani, that's Hizbullahland. The problem with fighting Arabs is that they are masters of claiming defeats are really victories, like Egypt did in 1973, so you have to smash them unequivocally in order to register a defeat, which Israel didn't manage to do. Doesn't mean that Israel lost in any conventional military sense. Hizbullah lost much infrastructure, tunnels, rockets, rocket launchers, and trained fighters, many times more than the Israelis, probably. Hizbullah isn't hiding its casulaties because the numbers look good. Debka, an Israeli source which is usually full of worry & doom and gloom, reports that Iran is hopping mad that Nasrallah wasted all those nice rockets Iran had given him over a stupid war about captured Israelis. Iran had counted on the deterrent force of those rockets to prevent an Israeli or American strike on its nuclear program. I know you keep hearing that Hizbullah is still shooting Katyushas, but Katyushas, though easy to hide, can't hit anything except by luck. The medium and long-range rockets, the rockets that could have hit Tel Aviv, are out of action, because Israel concentrated on bombing their launchers. You just haven't seen the pictures because Hizbullah only allowed journalists to take pictures of civilian buildings, women and children.
