BEIRUT, Lebanon (CNN) -- Israeli warplanes bombed Beirut's international airport and the navy blockaded Lebanon's ports in a sharp escalation of its military campaign Thursday. Hezbollah guerrillas fired scores of rockets from Lebanon into northern Israel in the most intense bombardment in years. The missiles killed one woman and at least 10 others were hurt in the attack on Safed, about 13 miles (20 kilometers) from the Lebanese border, which local officials said not been hit by Hezbollah rockets since 1972. (Watch the rocket's explosion and town chaos -- 1:45) Beirut's main airport was forced to close after Israeli fighter jets hit all three of its runways, leaving huge craters and making them unusable. http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/07/13/mideast/index.html last edited: 7/13/06 8:46:58 AM” 8:37:37 AM 7/13/06 “Lebanese Interior Minister Ahmed Fatfat called the airport strikes a "general act of war," ummmm, is his name Fat-Fat??!! last edited: 7/13/06 8:49:25 AM” 8:48:28 AM 7/13/06 “well duh!” 8:49:30 AM 7/13/06 “"fatfat"? hahahahahahahaha HEY FATFAT!

The enemies of Israel and the Jews openly declared war on them way back in 2000 and have carried out countless attacks and killed thousands with barely a peep from the global community. Now Israel finally dug their balls out of the dusty shoe box at the back of the closet and retaliates and the world throws a shlt fit? I just get how every nation on the planet seems to have a right to defend themselves except Israel.” 9:15:18 AM 7/13/06 “easy killer...i really didn't mean this to be fuego...i really really was just letting people know and exactly who is "throwing a sh1t fit"?” 9:25:17 AM 7/13/06 “israel sucks lebanon sucks get over it” 10:06:52 AM 7/13/06 ““easy killer...i really didn't mean this to be fuego...i really really was just letting people know and exactly who is "throwing a sh1t fit"?” Oh I know you meant no harm for it.

No carrying a strainer with ya!” 10:24:25 AM 7/13/06 “The US is the only power keeping Israel restrained, due to the Iraq negotiations with Iran. Protestations from the Muslim world are of course, irrelevent. Protestations from France and Russia and Tilt and Violin and similar are just simply amusing.” 11:10:47 AM 7/13/06 “One of my favorite quotes ( I don't know who said it) that sums the whole deal up and can not be reasonably refuted.

What a SHOCK!!!! [VBG]” 11:30:45 AM 7/13/06 “Don't forget Daily KOS, the place where at least one TT moonbat goes to for his opinion on world matters. Some gems: Bush, this morning, affirmed Israel's "right to defend itself". Does it really surprise everyone that the US is once more going "Sure, Israel, whatever you say, Israel, want more weapons Israel? " kneel kiss kiss Illegally occupying land that belongs to someone else..is "defending yourself". Like The US government defended herself from the evil indians! Very strong and consistent support for criminal policies for decades. Because we give Israel a blind check and they continue to be antagonists in the region. All we get for our exorbitant investment is the animosity of an entire region. Israel feeds anti-semitiesm and violence agaist us. the Israelis won't settle for anything less that the whole area "cleansed" of Palestinians. last edited: 7/13/06 11:36:35 AM” 11:35:35 AM 7/13/06 “The KOSkids are even more loons than DU. The DUmmies make a good example anyway. ;-)” 11:57:33 AM 7/13/06 “jeeeeez... Who hit whom first? These folks have been at war since God was a child. CB nailed it. An actual news item would be if they WEREN'T at war... Hot... Cold, Luke Cool... whatever. Or as the Long Lost Stratdewd would say...

ETA - by golly, SS, you're right! That's pretty tame for Tilt. last edited: 7/13/06 12:05:21 PM” 12:04:45 PM 7/13/06 “Good News - thanks to John Bolton: http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/07/13/060713195011.0bs4l5nz.html US vetoes UN resolution urging end to Israeli attacks in Gaza Jul 13 3:50 PM US/Eastern Email this story The United States vetoed a UN draft resolution that would have called for an end to Israeli attacks and "disproportionate use of force" in the Gaza Strip as well as for the release of a kidnapped Israeli soldier. [...] Explaining his negative vote, US Ambassador John Bolton described the text as "unbalanced" and was "not only untimely but also outmoded" [...]” 2:38:50 PM 7/13/06 “meangreen...if you read this, i apologize on behalf of all those who turned your thread fuego ;)” 2:53:27 PM 7/13/06 “Interesting snippet from stratfor: It is difficult to overestimate the impact of the soldier kidnappings on the Israeli psyche. First, while the Israeli military is extremely highly trained, Israel is also a country with mass conscription. Having a soldier kidnapped by Arabs hits every family in the country. The older generation is shocked and outraged that members of the younger generation have been captured and worried that they allowed themselves to be captured; therefore, the younger generation needs to prove it too can defeat the Arabs. This is not a primary driver, but it is a dimension. The more fundamental issue is this: Israel withdrew from Lebanon in order to escape low-intensity conflict. If Hezbollah is now going to impose low-intensity conflict on Israel's border, the rationale for withdrawal disappears. It is better for Israel to fight deep in Lebanon than inside Israel. If the rockets are going to fall in Israel proper, then moving into a forward posture has no cost to Israel. From an international standpoint, the Israelis expect to be condemned. These international condemnations, however, are now having the opposite effect of what is intended. The Israeli view is that they will be condemned regardless of what they do. The differential between the condemnation of reprisal attacks and condemnation of a full invasion is not enough to deter more extreme action. If Israel is going to be attacked anyway, it might as well achieve its goals. Moreover, an invasion of Hezbollah-held territory aligns Israel with the United States. U.S. intelligence has been extremely concerned about the growing activity of Hezbollah, and U.S. relations with Iran are not good. Lebanon is the center of gravity of Hezbollah, and the destruction of Hezbollah capabilities in Lebanon, particularly the command structure, would cripple Hezbollah operations globally in the near future. The United States would very much like to see that happen, but cannot do it itself. Moreover, an Israeli action would enrage the Islamic world, but it would also drive home the limits of Iranian power. Once again, Iran would have dropped Lebanon in the grease, and not been hurt itself. The lesson of Hezbollah would not be lost on the Iraqi Shia -- or so the Bush administration would hope. Therefore, this is one Israeli action that benefits the United States, and thus helps the immediate situation as well as long-term geopolitical alignments. It realigns the United States and Israel. This also argues that any invasion must be devastating to Hezbollah. It must go deep. It must occupy temporarily. It must shatter Hezbollah. At this point, the Israelis appear to be unrolling a war plan in this direction. They have blockaded the Lebanese coast. Israeli aircraft are attacking what air power there is in Lebanon, and have attacked Hezbollah and other key command-and-control infrastructure. It would follow that the Israelis will now concentrate on destroying Hezbollah -- and Lebanese -- communications capabilities and attacking munitions dumps, vehicle sites, rocket-storage areas and so forth. Most important, Israel is calling up its reserves. This is never a symbolic gesture in Israel. All Israelis below middle age are in the reserves and mobilization is costly in every sense of the word. If the Israelis were planning a routine reprisal, they would not be mobilizing. But they are, which means they are planning to do substantially more than retributive airstrikes. +-+-+-+- I hope they're 100% correct on the bolded part!” 2:59:46 PM 7/13/06 “Sure enough Mutt. The Moonbats sure have been quiet.” 3:04:29 PM 7/13/06 “I think the only reason the Bush admin is for this is because they are hoping that HAMAS will be thrown out and the PA will step back in. Bush was all for dragging the Jews from their houses and taking their land away to give to the Palestinians and was all talk about "middle East democracy" wbefore the vote. Then after HAMAS won by 80% old Squinty McGee was like, "Oh shlt. The average Palestinain really is for terrorism. Don't I look stupid?". Now that Israel is in a position to fix his fukcup we're once again behind Israel 100% of the way.” 3:19:49 PM 7/13/06 “ ![]() More cheerleading from the rear? Too bad Vaudeville is dead --- You two could take your act on the road.” 3:22:19 PM 7/13/06 “Sorry Tilt, i mispoke because I wasn't sure who you were busting on. last edited: 7/13/06 3:29:31 PM” 3:28:47 PM 7/13/06 “Yep --- You slipped in that post about Bush and Hamas while I was searching for that glorious photo --- [G]” 3:38:05 PM 7/13/06 “Hey Poopypants! --- I hear the OAN site is up again...
