[...] Anyway, one last point about the alleged ambulance attack. Zombie makes the shrewd point that if Israel really had crossed the moral rubicon and decided to bomb two ambulances just for the murderous fun of it, why would they use a low-yield, non-explosive missile? Why not just torch that sucker? (Possible answer: because low-yield, non-explosive missiles were the only munitions the drone was armed with, assuming that it was a drone that attacked.) But that logic applies if the incident was staged, too. If the Lebanese paramedics or Hezbollah or whoever had made up their mind to fake an attack on the Red Cross at Qana, of all places, why not torch one or both of the ambulances and make it really spectacular? Hezbollah would have paid for a new one. There’s no shortage of dirty mullah money to be had. [...]

Thank you Drifter. I really appreciate it.

Don’t like coming off as a prude or Mr. Etiquette Nanny, but I think this is too nice a place for such language.

My bad. I apologize. Will not happen again. I assure you, and I do believe that you should be able to have your mother read the comments…

I shall repent my ways with the language.

I really wish certain people would try to control their language.

Might as well go over to the DU if I felt the need to read gratuitous profanity.

I can understand the irritation… the rage even, but the indiscriminate use of such words on a public forum like this makes everyone there look bad.

Bad enough when the token liberal does it, worse when it is someone I often agree with.

I wouldn’t mind it at all if we were talking privately, but I’d like to be able to have my kids (or my mother) read the comments here; However, I don’t want them to see that kind of stuff…. So they don’t get the benefit of your ‘wisdom’.

I’m probably overstating. If Middle East analysis was my forte I wouldn’t spend so much time hanging out here. The point is they will be more dangerous later than now, unless “progressive” opinion is somehow 180ed by them chewing and swallowing Israel. Doubtful.

…and then face us with closer-to-equal power in terms of force.

Uh huh. Give me a break. You mean after they take Russia, and all her nukes too? This isn’t a video game.

Hey, like in business, if its viable, then it survives, no?

The question is whether you want us fighting jihad now, when its target is still–barely–Israel, or after they’ve taken Israel, consolidated their grip on the other nations of the area, developed nukes, and then face us with closer-to-equal power in terms of force.

It’s harsh, especially on Israel, but if you want to talk about self-interest, ours lies there. It’s a shame we’re not promoting it by helping Israel do whatever is necessary to destroy these puppet groups and cow their sponsors back into their unstable little holes.

I’m just worried that Iran’s not planning on USING a nuke on Aug 22nd, that special of special days when mohamed went flying off on a flaming horse or something. THAT would sure be (a powerful) responce that ahmadinejad promised to the UN resolution of no nukes.

The U.S. and Israel are said to be allies, but it seems that the test of an alliance is that so-called allies actually fight together.

Sorry, but I have to qualify my last post. Let me put it this way. Israel broke it, let them fucking fix it. What are we talking about. Let them compete with the Iranian madman. What the fuck has this to do with us? I just knew we were going to have to pay for their excesses, both military, and political. Isn’t it time they fend for themselves? Hey, like in business, if its viable, then it survives, no? Shit, this really pisses me off. Calling me an apoligist for Hezbollah. Gonna take them words back there Allahpundit? Now you can see what it is that worries me. Nothing to do with defending the rabid. All to do with not trying to defend the indefensible. Maybe about time you started seeing Israel for what it is, namely a foreign country with interests of their own.

And don’t you think that when they think that their interests are better served elsewhere that they won’t just spit us out and move on. Every man for himself, and fair enough. But let us be the same, is all I’m saying.

ya, right, what a load of shit. This is what I've been saying from the begining. Check it out. And Allahpundit assumed Israel was going to pay for their shit. Once again, we pick up the pieces. What a major clusterfuck!

Watched Bush’s press conference earlier… he looked distracted, and not very happy about what was good news on the economy.

Bush, being a reasonable person, tried to deal with folks as reasonable… he just does NOT understand the mindset in the Mid East, and its biteing us on the butt.

Add in our own lefts attacks, and UN incompetance and double dealing… and Israel is in trouble.

Clean and jerk, Hezbollah style;

A funeral worker raises up the body of a child for mourners to see, at a mass funeral in Qana, southern Lebanon Friday, Aug. 18, 2006

Now that's gratuitously freakish strength.

It looks to me as Iran planned the whole thing, from the initial kidnapping to the disbursment of funds.
That many people on the receiving end and 150 million bucks in cash takes some advance planning.

Wake up world, Iran is playing you like a string puppet.
