Re: War in The Middle East
Way too many Joos are getting killed and wounded. It was not supposed to happen this way.
Here is a good political perspective.
It simply was not supposed to happen this way.
And now, they are quite desperate. They have been terrible in conventional combat. They have lost over fifty of their most elite soldiers, with hundreds more wounded, they have lost tens of their armored vehicles and they still have not been able to control the Lebanese Israeli border. They are still getting hit with over a hundred rocketes per day. Their refusal to admit defeat at the hands of Hizbollah will force them to strike the civilian population of Lebanon even more harshly. And the warpigs in Washington are seeking to fight Iran via proxies. This situation, in essence, is where the real danger lies. How much further is Tel Aviv willing to go to satisfy its blood thirst. How much loger will Syria and Iran allow this blood shed and destruction to continue before they get involved? How much longer untill American idiots jump into this fire as well.
Although Lebanon was destroyed, yet again, this military campagin will prove to be a long-term disaster for Israel as I predicted.

Israel Disappoints the Neo-cons
Hear, Oh Israel! Charles Krauthammer is disappointed. Very disapppointed. And he clearly speaks for the rest of the neo-conservative fraternity that has worked so hard to destroy any distinction between U.S. interests and Israeli interests. That’s because, as we pointed out a couple of days ago, the Bush administration sees Israel’s war in Lebanon as its own war, by proxy, against Iran. And Israel is quite simply failing to deliver the knockout blow against Hizballah that Washington is demanding — it can’t be done, of course, but reality has never restrained the neocons from pursuing their fantasies, at the expense of thousands of lives. Krauthammer offers candid confirmation of what many, including Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah, have suspected all along:
Israel’s leaders do not seem to understand how ruinous a military failure in Lebanon would be to its relationship with America, Israel’s most vital lifeline… America’s green light for Israel to defend itself is seen as a favor to Israel. But that is a tendentious, misleadingly partial analysis. The green light — indeed, the encouragement — is also an act of clear self-interest. America wants, America needs, a decisive Hezbollah defeat.
He explains, as we’ve done, that the U.S. sees Hizballah as nothing more than a cat’s paw for Iran, which it sees as its major strategic competitor in the Middle East. It therefore saw the Hizballah provocation as a gold opportunity to strike a blow, by proxy, at an organization deemed an important part of Iran’s own deterrent capability. It is also mindful of the power of the challenge offered by Hizballah to further destabilize the decrepit autocracies in Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia on which its influence in the Arab world rests. http://americaabroad.tpmcafe.com/blo..._u_s_proxy_war
