Just don't F with the Jews

So Hezbollah got caught by surprise?

Better not to wake up a sleeping tiger.

You're correct.
No less an authority than my Gramps who went through 2 world wars and had dealings with what was mislabeled "organised crime" in the '20's and '30's always said,and I quote {with all due respect}"don't f-ck with those tough sheenies,they cut your b-lls off,sonny".

I really don't believe that they, Hezbollah, are surprised. I think that this is well calculated to get the very effect that they are getting. To claim surprise is like saying:

"Gee, I had no idea that guy would run after me when I stole his wallet"

Israel is in a hard position - damned if they act and damned if they don't.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah/Islamic Jihad work towards doing exactly what it has always claimed they want to do - kill all jews everywhere.

I have mixed feelings on this one Peragro.

I think that Hezbollah may have thought that Israel had gone soft. I mean, look at all the concessions recently made by Israel. The Gaza Strip, pulling out of Lebanon, etc.

Maybe Hezbollah assumed that the Little Satan had gone soft like the Big Satan.

Oh wait a minute, we did attack after 9-11. I had forgotten, for a minute there, that Bush and not Gore or Kerry, won the election.

I guess they were wrong about the big Satan too.

I don't think that Hezbollah or Al Qaida are at all media stupid. They play the 4th estate brilliantly or, as I prefer Lenin's name for the 4th estate - useful idiots.
The conservative faction in Israel knew that exactly what is happening now would happen, unfortunatly they were ignored. Hezbollah knew this as well and played on them. Much like Bin Laden played on us during the 90's when we were pursuing criminal actions instead of the war that it was.
Hezbollah knew the response would be devestating to the civilian population of Lebanon, in fact they counted on exactly that. They have no other purpose in life but to kill jews and when they're finished they come after the West.

Hmmm... let's see how much does Israel "control" (read: stolen) as a result of all this? Please. If they kidnapped a roach from Sharon's nostril they would have used it as an excuse. This was NOTHING more than a nice excuse to go on another land grab.

And heck, why not? The US is paying the tab. Did anyone catch the latest about the batch of bombs we sent them?

I see Israel as the fat kid in the playground who constantly gets heckled. The kid sits there and takes it because he's trying to do the right thing - not act out and escalate to violence.

But as the other kids keep picking on him, one day that fat kid is going to stand up and beat the crap out of somebody. It won't be the final taunt that is to blame, it's going to be history of abuse to blame.

Good for the fat kid. Good for Israel. Beat the crap out of them, they deserve it.

That was actually funny. Grabbing a roach from the nose of a comatose man, why would he need a roach...oh, you mean a cucaracha.

Seriously though.

As my Grandmama used to say: "Si no quieres que te den palos por la cabeza, mejor que no saques la cabeza."

Rough translation: Don't be starting nuttin you can't finish.

Or, from Independence Day:

Captain Steve Hiller: [after crashing the alien spaceship by the Grand Canyon] *That's* what you get! Ha Ha! Look at you! Ya ship's all banged up!
[shouts]
Captain Steven Hiller: Who's the man? Huh? Who's the man? Wait till I get another plane! I'm a line ya friends up right beside you! Where ya at, huh? Where ya at?
[Hiller opens the spaceship, the alien screams, Hiller smacks him in the head]
Captain Steven Hiller: [beat] Welcome to earth.


Or more from Capt. Hiller:

Captain Steven Hiller: Y'know, this was supposed to be my weekend off, but noooo. You got me out here draggin' your heavy ass through the burnin' desert with your dreadlocks stickin' out the back of my parachute. You gotta come down here with an attitude, actin' all big and bad... and what the hell is that smell? I could've been at a barbecue! But I ain't mad.

And finally, another line from the same movie:

Albert Nimzicki: I'm not Jewish.
Julius Levinson: Well, nobody's perfect.

Good for the fat kid. Good for Israel. Beat the crap out of them, they deserve it.

If the fat kid built a wall around all the food, water, and usable land and all the other kids couldn't see their family, worship, or work, I think the fat kid deserves the beating.

Either way... they can fight. As long as it isn't with our money.

I *think* (but not 100%) certain that the part of southern Lebanon (especially to the East) is actually quite decent land... And, have you ever scene where they build their "settlements"?? Please, they could live anywhere...

P.S. I didn't even know you had the pic. But yes, I love it. The story behind the banner is classic GWB. First, the White House didn't know about the banner. Then they knew the Navy did it. Not the White House. Then, they admit, the White House HAD IT MADE *FOR* the Navy, tho hang behind the President.

Hehe, they lie about their lies to cover their lies... sad. But, he's the ruler.

Not if Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Syria, Iran and many others are successful.

You know, that is the same argument I make when (what's the word that I am looking for...oh yes "useful idiots -- thanks PERAGRO) keep whining that we went to Iraq to take their oil.

Why not invade Mexico and take THEIR oil instead?

Or Canada?

Invading Mexico and taking their oil would certainly solve two problems:

1. Oil supply

2. Illegal alien situation.

Oh well....

I am pulling for the fat kid in this one.

And if I read any more comments about people threatening to leave the country if Jeb runs and wins...I am going to start sending him money to convince him to run.

I do agree with you on one thing. Southern Lebanon, and Beirut itself were quite beautiful and nice to live in, until Syria and its proxies destroyed the country.

Danny Thomas, Marlo Thomas and the guy who played Cpl. Klinger (Jamie Farr?) in MASH are all of Lebanese ancestry.
