(CNN) Israel invades Lebanon - ???
 

JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Israel launched air strikes and sent troops and tanks into southern Lebanon Wednesday, after Hezbollah television said its guerrillas had abducted two Israeli soldiers along the border.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert described the Hezbollah attacks as an "act of war" by Lebanon and promised a "very painful and far-reaching" response, The Associated Press reported.

...

The valleys along the Israeli-Lebanese border thundered with artillery fire and clouds of blue-gray smoke could be seen rising above Lebanese positions.

Israeli military sources confirmed a troop build-up on the northern border and said preparations were being made for possible call up of reserve soldiers.

...


"The government will convene this evening for a special cabinet meeting. I want to make clear that the events this morning are not a terror attack but an operation of a sovereign state without any reason or provocation."

The Israeli Cabinet is scheduled to meet at 7 p.m. (noon ET), according to Olmert's office.

"A very high ranking military officer said that if the soldiers were not returned in good condition, Israel would turn Lebanon back 20 years"

thanks for the link.

No opinion, not my territory, but Hrmph

Second quote from jpost.com website.

hahaha israel doesn't give a flying fuck about the missing soldiers. They just
pretend they do and use it as an excuse to invade and attack anyone they
want. :2 cents:

This could be a serious escalation.

It already is a serious situation

And the excuse is served up to them, time, after time, on a silver platter. Their opposition seems to be two beers short of a six pack.

And more than half the time the excuse is whipped up with help of the Mossad. Lets not forget is was the Mossad who was caught recently trying to setup Al Qaeda cells in Palestine. Strange thing for them to do isn't it? Not really, they have a very long history of infiltrating and using terrorist organisations to take out targets for them, and to commit acts that act as an excuse for Israeli actions. There are always enough Arabs dumb enough to carry them out.

Yeah, and by 'attack' what they do is blow up powerplants, bridges etc to make the civilians life hell.

I am going to stab a jew in the face for this.

that's pretty hardcore :Oh crap

uh oh spaghetti ohs

lol. this rocks, I hope it will turn into something serious, isreal has to be stopped

I sure wish the USA would turn their attention to Israel. I thought they had a war on terror going on? I guess Israel committing acts of terror is ok though? hahaha, go USA, go USA!

Fuck USA...go out and stab a jew or an American in the face.

The start of the end

What a fucking turd.. Hezbollah isnt the Lebanon government...

Bluebird of happiness shit in your cornflakes this morning? :1orglaugh

welp, you guys ready? this is it...

Well, there is a Hezbollah member in the Lebanese cabinet. Make of it what you will.

I wonder if a new " coalition of the willings " will be formed to kick-out the invader ....

Let Isreal replay the 1967 war on the middle east. End of problem.

:2 cents:

no israel, end of problem

..........

and do not even bother scream anti semite, cause this board is full of jewish muslim haters, which would love to see the genocide of the all arab countries. you are no better then others

Lol...I dont think all jews are israelis.

:1orglaugh

I don't like the way the conflicts are heading over there... bad timing.

My wife has family there and got an email saying that her Aunt's house was bombed and that the family is okay.

Wrong... no Humans, end of problem!

May I suggest you start by removing yourself?

Just returning the love back, which you gave to this thread... call it karma :1orglaugh

i think thats a shitty sexist thing to do just wait till the feminists have a go back at them for invading ............ OH .......lebanon


soz

The Israeli war of 2006. Fucking great. Guess who's paying for it?

I wonder how they're going to spin this one to get on the right side of history. Oh yeah, a couple troops of theirs are being held prisoner (like they do to thousands of Palistinians). That justifies invading multiple neighbouring countries.

It makes me fucking sick that my tax dollars go to supporting these sick war mongers. I really hope all the Arab nations just wipe these zionists of the planet once and for all. Hopefully this aggressive action will make more people in the US realize that there will never be peace in the middle east as long as Israel is there, and hasn't killed every Arab.

WE MUST END US TAX DOLLAR SUPPORT FOR THIS AGGRESSIVE WAR HUNGRY NATION!!!


Some of their relatives being persecuted 60 years ago does not give these people immunity to international law!!!!!! It's not racist to oppose a nation who launches aggressive military actions as policy as usual, I don't care what race they are.

Good luck to them. Israel would eat the middle east for breakfast.

I suspect that a key objective of this Israeli "mission" is to bait Iran in to some sort of action to defend Syria and/or Lebanon, so the USA will have to take action against Iran to help our "ally" . Since even the neo-cons aren't crazy enough to invade Iran right now, which Israel openly says they want us to, they're trying to force our hand.

My question is, we're the fucking superpower here, why does Israel get away with playing us like this? We need to tell them to go fuck themselves. If Jews in the US get pissed off, they can go fuck themselves too. I'm part Ukrainian, but if the Ukraine were invading neighbouring countries and baiting us into fighting for them, I wouldn't support it.

Religion makes people stupid.

... just like the Americans Iraq ...

Last time I checked, Iraq got their ass handed to em. The only problem is America can't leave.

GO ISRAEL! waste those fucking terrorists from the face of earth...


how would u idiots react if you`re soliders were kidnapped?

GOOD TERRORIST = DEAD TERRORIST!

ISRAEL 4 LIFE!

Well, I will explain to you the basic.

You must win the game, not just innings ...

So to win in Iraq, the USA would have to succeed in beating the army ( done ) , rallying the population ( not done ) and controlling the country and it's assets ( not done )...

In fact, as time goes by, the USA is loosing ground in Iraq ... To cover it up, like in Vietnam, they come up with : we are transferring control to local authorities ... sure ...

Now, this is not just for the USA, all conquerors at one point lost control and fell back to lower than were they started from ;

- Egyptian dynasty
- Greek Empire
- Ottoman Empire
- Roman Empire
- French Empire
- Spain


and more recently the Brits, the French again and the Germans



So If you considered the USA ( btw I tought it was a huge coalition of willings ... :) ) won , then you left before the end of the game ....

hahaha ... the setup:

Condi must be wetting her panties ... :1orglaugh

World War III is coming...
