JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel bombed and shelled southern Lebanon and sent ground troops over the border for the first time in six years Wednesday after Hezbollah guerrillas captured two Israeli soldiers. The fighting killed eight Israeli soldiers and three Lebanese.
Hezbollah’s brazen cross-border raid opened a second front for the Israeli army. The army is now fighting Islamic militants in both Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, where it is looking for another soldier who was captured more than two weeks ago by Hamas-linked militants.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert called the Hezbollah raid an “act of war” by Lebanon and threatened “very, very, very painful” retaliation. The Cabinet, meeting in the wake of the military’s highest daily death toll in four years, decided to continue the army operation and call on the international community to disarm Hezbollah, according to participants.

While Israel in my opinion here is completely justified in Strikes into Lebanon to hit Hizbollah Strongholds, and limit their mobility, but the ones pulling the strings for Hizbullah and Hamas are in Damascus and Tehran.

Wakeup you fools. Israel and the U.S (puppets of the New World Order) have been after this land for decades. They need to control this land to control the worlds energy resources for the next few decades. This war is unjustified and totally illegal. I Hope both Israel and the USA are defeated in this war (USA is already being disgraced in Iraq) they could have learned there lesson 3 3 decades ago.. you cannont win an unjustified Guerilla Insurgent War.

Aaron:
US is being disgraced in Iraq? Only to shitheads, such as yourself. Our military is doing it’s job and remember asshole, Saddam’s gone! Zarqawi’s figuring out if there are virgins in hell.
Stop the stupidity! Point out Palestine on a pre-47 map.
Tell me why Jordan and Egypt threw the Palestinians off their land? Yes, that’s right idiot, the land known as trans-palestine lies within the boundaries 90% Jordan and 10% Egypt.
Think we can’t win a war? That’s only because we fight with political correctness. Woe to the day we don’t. Superior firepower wins against those fighting with sticks and stones.
And if your referral to 33 decades ago means 33 years (Vietnam) – yeah, we lost. Tell that to the 3 million killed AFTER WE LEFT.
You people are delusional.
Remember – SUPERIOR FIREPOWER AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
Energy resources? Asshole, we’re trying to find alternatives to Oil. Why not complain about Russia and China with controlling/squandering the energy resources.
Man you shitheads don’t have anything right. Stay the hell off moveon.org and
