We Don't Need Help, But Where The Is It?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Hasan Nasrallah is exactly where he always wanted to be.

Getting bombed into oblivion? Robin Wright has always written articles that are slanted to the side of the terrorists. That she writes an article like that is not surprising. Nor boutons linking it.

It's all posturing. Why not target evacution helicopters and ships?

"Getting bombed into oblivion?"

Israelis didn't bomb Hesbollah HQ on the first day. By the time they did hit it, locals say it had been emptied of computers, paper files, telecomms, etc. Hardly bombed into oblivion.

What's amazing is the low number of Lebanese deaths compared with the pervasiveness of the Israeli devastation.

How many Hezbollah have Isrealis really bombed into oblivion, when Hezbollah rockets continue raining into Israel a week after Israel started bombing S. Lebanon?

Any oblivion that Israel creates in S. Beirut and S. Lebanon will be re-built and re-armed by Syria and Iran as soon as the Israelis stop attacking, just as was done in S. Lebanon after Israel withdrew, and as is being attempted when Israel withdrew from Gaza. Iran of course can't lose, with oil at $75+, they have an unending flow of 100s of $Bs to finance pushing Israel into the sea, just as Iranian present recently announced.

What is Robin Wright slanting? What is your "truth" that redresses Wright's "slant"?

As long as Syria and Iran keep financing Hamas and Hesbollah (and Shiites in Iraq), there really isn't a solution.

Had dubya and head not shot the US military'd wad in Iraq (a Sunni country under Saddam countervailing mortal enemy Iraq), there might have been some US military intimidation available to stare down Syria and Iran.

The US military is now tied down and exhausted in Iraq and in no position to threaten Syria or Iran, who are now free, as the REAL axis of evil, to export state-terrorism through their proxies Hezbollah and Hamas.

Nice going, dubya/ head/rummy/wolfowitz, just a couple more years, and you can bequeath the huge pile of stinking you've created to the next administration.

But, could this be Bush's "out of Iraq clause"? What better way to deny failure in Iraq?

"We must concentate our efforts on the growing concern in Syria and Iran, and let Iraq implement the fabulous democracy we have graciously gifted them" says the president in the state of the union address.

Won't happen because Iraq is tumbling toward civil war, if not already in it. This gives the Cons two choices, they can either stay and keep proping up the government troops and thus the Iraqi government indefinitely, or they drastically need to increase the number of US combat troops to fight back the insurgency so that the government and Iraqi defense forces can be properly trained. At least to give the Cons enough time to get the US troops out and claim victory before Baghdad becomes the next Ho Chi Man City (formerly Siagon).

What do you think the chances are of bush sending more troops to Iraq?

I think he should have done that long ago ( when advisors suggested it).

Isn't it possible that the far left would agree with this strategy?
