As I posted below, Hezbollah could end their suffering at any point by taking one more unilateral step: release their hostages. It seems the Palestinians in Gaza have come to their senses and are ready to end the fighting by taking the same unilateral action: All groups in Gaza, including Hamas, would now accept a […]

The Washington Post publishes a big liberal whine today about how the Israeli response to Hezbollah has been disproportionate. No where in Eugene Robinson’s opinion piece does he face the fact that the response could be ended just like it was started, through a unilateral action by Hezbollah. If Hezbollah wanted the pummeling to end […]

As I posted last week, Hezbollah is all alone and will have to fend for itself. The latest indications are in a series of articles and commentary out today that highlight how badly Hezbollah (and possibly Syria and Iran) misjudged the possible responses to kidnapping two Israeli soldiers and the ensuing battle between Hezbollah forces […]

Kerry is affectionately known in many circles as ‘Lurch’ from the Adams Family because of his gangliness (I am guessing here). Lurch could communicate loads with a simple ‘arrrggh’ or ‘aahhhh’. Kerry is not so gifted. He stumbles and bumbles and can muddle the most simple of subjects – like voting against the war before […]

What a week. The most amazing sea change in the ME is how alone Hezbollah is. Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia have wisely decided they are not going to spend their people’s blood and treasure because Hezbollah decided to kidnap two Israeli’s who were simply patrolling their side of the border. Why should these countries […]

Yep, more meetings today – all day! I won’t bother to link to them, but Kofi Anan’s comments that Israel is being excessive are ridiculous. Anan and all the bleeding hearts wish the pounding of Hezbollah would stop, but they do not admit it can stop immediately. All Hezbollad has to do is free the […]

It seems that US authorities are truly concerned Hezbollah is attempting to activate cells here in the US (probably in concurrence with Iran and possibly Syrian elements). Operatives of the Lebanese Islamic terrorist organization Hezbollah, the same group presently firing missiles into Israel and labeled as one of the most dangerous Islamic terrorist group in […]

Since 9-11 one of the most common phrases is “connect the dots”. Well here are some dots to connect: An Israeli airstrike in Lebanon on Monday destroyed at least one long- range Iranian missile capable of hitting Tel Aviv, military officials said. Israeli aircraft targeted a truck carrying the weapons before they could be launched, […]

Iran sent its Foreign Minister to Syria to discuss the situation in Lebanon. Hezbollah is getting pummeled and I am sure they are looking for support and help from the closest ally – Syria. And I would guess Syria is in no mood to be seen aiding the terrorists in Lebanon striking into Israel in […]

Seems the Iranian President was not kidding when he said he would attack Israel if the West messed with Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Israeli officials charged that elite Iranian troops operating in Lebanon were involved in the Hezbollah offensive, and were responsible for firing an Iranian-made, radar-guided C802 missile – not the unmanned bomb-laden drone originally […]
