1. Quoting Mark Twain, no doubt?

:shrug:

[endarkenment]

2. Not dead yet it seems.

Air war not having desired effect. Ground forces having a tough time in the border region. Israel appears to have misstepped. What now? Up the ante?

4. Air war is having desired effect. Destroy Lebanon.

Misstepped?
Understatement of the year.

3. That's a bit like "Bring it on," isn't it?

[DireStrike]

12. Indeed... basically "please kill more lebanese... I don't care"

What a dick. =/

6. Nasrallah Speaks On Arab TV

(IsraelNN.com) Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah appeared on Al Jazeera television Thursday night, proving that he is alive and well. The interview was recorded but his references to Thursday's events indicated it was done so after the Israeli Air Force bombed a meeting place of leaders of the terrorist organization.

Nasrallah said that the leaders were not in the targeted area. He also reiterated demands that Israel release Arab prisoners in return for soldiers kidnapped by Hizbullah terrorists last week.

He'll soon be a bigger legend like Zarqawi..(he was "killed" many times before he finally died)

15. Rich:

"CNN cannot independently confirm Israel's estimation of Hezbollah's military strength."

No shit.

:rofl:

9. When Do We Get The High Five With Osama Video? nt

[VegasWolf]

10. I guess he is not dead like Israel and Fox news claimed yesterday. nt

[Sam Odom]

11. Remember this guy

[alcibiades_mystery]

14. He's alive

Like Nasrallah.

I'm not sure anyone believes nasrallah's spin on things. The point is that the much trumpeting airstrike on the command bunker obviously missed Nasrallah, so, indeed, on this specific matter, it is the Israelis and Fox News who sound like Baghdad Bob now.

[NaturalHigh]

16. You beat me to it.

I was thinking of Baghdad Bob when I read this.

17. So did the 23 tons of high explosives just move around a lot of dirt?

I hope no innocent civilians were killed.
