Nadine, you very well know there is no inconsistency. The point was not whether Israel won or lost against Hezbollah. The point was that Hezbollah was a rag tag Army in comparison to Syria, Egypt and Jordan, and Israel would have a more difficult time confronting "real" armies unlike the Hezbollah and Pals. And since YOU, not me, were touting that Israel won against Hezbollah, I replied as follows to show you what Israel did when a real army (as opposed to Hezbollah) was involved: "If you noticed, the US had HOPED Israel would have marched to Damascaus where the "real" Army resides and helped the USA fight "terrorism". Did you notice that the Israelis REFUSED ???????? (to the consternation of the neo-cons in DC, I might add) As I recall Israel even "announced" publicly that they would not go into Syria - why - ??????? Because the cost of blood was too much to bear and the cost of getting hit by "real" bombs/germ warfare inside Israel was tooooooooo catastrophic to consider- it was fear of a real war, and they wanted to make sure the Syrians did not make a mistake and think they were attacked which would have allowed Syria to retaliate against Israel." Also, I told you why America sends billions to Egypt and Jordan, because in a previous post you said Israel was not the only country getting the billions. Here's my reply: "Now don't give us a laugh and tell us the Israelis would like America to unleash Egypt and Jordan on them since that would happen if America did not provide the billions of dollars to Egypt and Jordan. If that happens you're asking for the junkyard dogs not to bite, they are still snarling Nadine, it's just that America is providing the beef to control their appetites. As I said, you better salute that American flag because it keeps Israel safe and it requires a lot of American blood and money to do so."
