"We're really blessed in this country to have the Judeo-Christian tradition of wanting to love each other and help each other have better lives and to enjoy life and be good to each other. As opposed to the tradition of some Islamofascist localities where they do the reverse - sending their own children off to be blown up."

    Hilarious! The Notion That the Israel-Hezbollah War Can be Stopped on Demand in a Week

    We've been seeing reports that various people harumphingly expect the Israel-Hezbollah war to stop in a week. This is hilarious.

    From The Guardian:

    "It's clear the Americans have given the Israelis the green light. They [the Israeli attacks] will be allowed to go on longer, perhaps for another week," a senior European official said yesterday. Diplomatic sources said there was a clear time limit, partly dictated by fears that a prolonged conflict could spin out of control.

    This isn't some network TV series that can be canceled at an executive's whim. It can't be interrupted for a special report. It's not a ball game that can be called on account of rain. It's not a water tap that you can turn on and off. This is a real live shooting war. Israel has had enough of having its citizens picked off one by one, and is going to blow the hell out of Hezbollah so that Hezbollah knows the game is over and the rules have changed and that their evil behavior isn't going to be accepted any more.

    When Israel declines to stop the war, since doing so would let Hezbollah regroup and continue killing civilians; when Israel declines to do that, and continues its destruction of Hezbollah, the whole world will be favorably impressed,  and will admire Israel for protecting its people.

    You are totally correct. More so, how's it going to look to the terrorists when they see their fellow brothers being almost obliterated only to be stopped by the world before the job is done? They'll think the same thing if the US retreats from Iraq before the job is done. "OK, the west is full of crap and have no drive to win. They'll make a good show of trying to fight us, but if we hold on long enough, they'll give up and leave. We'll win, and we'll get to regroup and start over stronger from before." Appeasement has never worked in the history of man-kind. The Europeans, of all people, should have learned this lesson. Alas, they have not. Why do they think appeasement will work if they keep pushing it? Appeasement is what has led to NOW. Appeasement has left us and Israel in the unfortunate position of having to fight harder and lose more lives than had they just taken care of Hezbollah 6 years ago and Hamas 15 years ago. Wake up, Europe!! Look at the world!! This is what appeasement has brought us!!

    THE REAL PURPOSE WHY YOUR SONS ARE DYING IN IRAQ.

    6 MONTHS AGO GEORGE BUSH ORDERED THE CIA TO APPLY A COVERT OPERATION TO STEAL IRAQ OIL. THE CIA HAS CONVERTED SEVERAL SUPER TANKERS TO APPEAR AS THIRD WORLD SHIPS, THEY ARE FLYING THIRD WORLD FLAGS AND ENTERING THE PORT OF KHOR AZ ZUBAYR IN SOUTHERN IRAQ. THEY FILL WITH OIL BUT

    THEY DO NOT GO BACK TO THE THIRD WORLD HOWEVER

    THEY GO TO THE PORT OF GALVESTON IN TEXAS WHERE THE OIL IS PUMPED INTO STORAGE TANKS AND UNDERGROUND PIPELINE TERMINALS. THIS IS WHY CIA DIRECTOR PORTER GOSS RESIGNED BECAUSE HE WOULD NOT BE PART OF THIS GRAND PIRACY. THE OIL WILL BE SOLD ON THE AMERICAN MARKET AS DOMESTIC CRUDE AT AN EXHORBITANT PRICES. YOUR SONS ARE IN IRAQ DYING TO PROTECT THIS PROCEDURE AND IN ESSENCE ARE BEING USED AND SECURITY FORCES TO PROTECT THIS OPERATION AND DIVERT ATTENTION FROM IT BY SUPPOSINGLY FIGHTING THE WAR ON TERRORISM IN IRAQ. AND WHAT ABOUT THE WAR ON TERROR. THE ISRAELI SECRET SERVICE ( THE MOSSAD) FOUND THE HIDE OUT OF BIN LADEN MORE THAN TWO YEARS AGO AND INFORMED THE CIA DIRECTOR OF ITS WHEREABOUTS BUT TO THIS DATE HE HAS NOT BEEN KILLED OR CAPTURED, WHY, THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION IS OBVIOUS. MEANWHILE YOUR SONS ARE DYING IN IRAQ SUPPOSIDLY FIGHTING THE WAR ON TERROR AND THEY WILL CONTINUE TO DIE AS LONG AS IRAQ HAS OIL.

    Like the real district manager of BP in Florida would post something exposing his own company's secret.

    "Richard's" IP address belongs to a company in California - unlikely for a guy living in Florida:

    OrgName: Juno Online Services, Inc.

    OrgID: JUNO
