Hizbollah 1, Israeli's 0

fastpat · 08-14-2006, 04:20 PM

In actual fact, it's Hizbollah 2, Israeli's 0, but that was some time ago and most folks don't remember that one much.

Even Charles Krauthammer gave the win to Hizbollah tonight on FauxNews, Krauthammer has been nothing if not a neo-con and one of the Israel amen chorus for years.

Here's Justin Raimondo, an excerpt,

Quote:

"The Lebanese army, furthermore, is urged to take control of southern Lebanon: and, in tandem with this, Hezbollah is to be "disarmed." But who, exactly, is in this army? Lebanon's military recruiters will have a field day, as the ranks of the armed forces swell with Hezbollah fighters. The resolution orders the Israelis out of south Lebanon, and invites Hezbollah back in.

Remember, Hezbollah is not some foreign force, or even an Iranian "proxy," as the Israelis (and George W. Bush) aver: it is a Lebanese institution, by far the best organized political force in the country â€“ and one that now has the overwhelming support of the populace. The Israelis have not only lost militarily â€“ in the sense that Hezbollah fought the IDF to a draw â€“ they have also lost politically, within Lebanon, where they have alienated their former allies by bombing Christian neighborhoods. As the Washington Post reports:

Quote:

"Israel's ferocious bombing has rallied many more Lebanese around Hezbollah, regardless of politics or religion, said Gen. Antoine Lahd, who led a now defunct militia that helped Israeli troops police the occupation zone before they withdrew six years ago.

"Beirut's leading newspaper, An-Nahar, has long been critical of Hizbollah â€“ especially its harassing rocket attacks on Israel before the war began â€“ but it urged all Lebanese to stand behind Nasrallah's group to achieve victory against the Jewish state."http://antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=9533

Once again, some brilliantly astute analysis by fastpaste. And even better, you've reduced it to a simple scorecard! This is especially helpful for those of us who are too dull-witted to follow current events without a Joe Sixpack-esque football analogy.

Bread and circuses for all!

Well, President Bush says Israel defeated Hezbollah.

And not a serious fact to be had in all your posts.

I'm afraid Bush II is living a rather "detached" life these days. Cognitive dyskinesia.

Should be banned for publicly admiting to owning a 914 anyway.

But it woiuld be ironic if he were banned for making his most pithy and incisive political observation in some 1600 posts.

What waste of oxygen.

I thought he was banned(?) Must have been some other dink-smoker.

Hey 914, relax. There might be other wars that go better some day. I mean, not with these leaders we have now- but someday. Maybe. If you live long enough.

Peace, man.

everyone is a terrorist except you, right?

btw, doesn't it seem odd that those who claim to be fighting the "war on terror" always kill 100X more innocent people than the "terrorists"?

I think petulant is a good adjective here, but maybe pussilanimous should be in the mix as well.

How about this, "Pouting, petulant, pussilanimous, pile of pubscence."

Thats an awful lot of p's. Appropriate, tho, for a lot of pee.

Yeah, having the old terrorist buddies over for a barbie tonight. Gonna cook up some goat steaks, knock back some coldies and laugh about the good ol'days when we were "Freedom Fighters" and all extras in Rambo 3.

Looks like he got his wish(?)

Goodness me, someone has deleted all 914s posts in this thread? It surely wouldnt have been 914.

What conviction, what resolution in the face of adversity.

speeder · speeder's Garage

You're right. Take it easy, loser.

EDIT: This was aimed at the post that was directly above before the VW owner deleted it, not the one that is above it now.

I see that the terrorists are saying they "won." If that means they still are in business, I guess they're right. And the media these days seems to want a winner for a "war." Though they have yet to declare there is a "war" in Iraq.

Now, just wait until the next time the terrorists fire some more missiles into Israel. Lebanon will be toast. Victory?

speeder · speeder's Garage

Hey hytem, what would you call a group that kills people like this? Just curious.

fastpat · 08-14-2006, 06:46 PM

I think that each faction set it's goals in public. Hizbollah said that they'd not be run out of Lebanon, and never disarm. Israel said they weren't going to negotiate with terrorists, would run Hizbollah out of Lebanon, and set up an occupied buffer zone in south Lebanon.

Hizbollah met all of their goals, Israel met none of theirs.
