More on the Israeli/Hezbollah War
From the blogosphere today:
The Saudi's bust up a pro-Shiite/Hezbollah rally.
Intelligence Summit lists the latest battles of the war.
From Captain's Quarter's is an analysis of the Israeli attack on the port of Tyre: "While zealots may fight with surprising tenacity and insane levels of self-sacrifice, they cannot conduct complicated operations such as these raids, and therefore have little hope of ever beating Israel militarily. That, plus the advantage of Israeli air supremacy, puts Hezbollah at a serious disadvantage in open war..." And it seems that the Hezzbollah terrorists are having several Baghdad Bob moments lately.
This Powerline post has more on the traveling mortician of Qana. A Powerline reader spotted the same guy on Fox News at Tyre this morning. Also in this post, a quote from YnetNews.com about the
lyingmisleading (and that's putting it charitably) Drive By Media (MSM): "As usual, most of the international media are doing a cover-up job on what was a heroic Israeli commando raid into the heart of the Hizbollah centre in the coastal town of Tyre in Lebanon. According to CNN and Sky reports Israel tried to land a couple of helicopters full of soldiers but were driven off by determined Hizbollah fire, leaving many Israeli soldiers wounded and one dead...The actual event was that elite Israeli commandos stormed a building in the Hizbollah stronghold of central Tyre. The building was the command and control centre that directed the fire of long range missiles into Israel, including the rocket that hit Hadera on Friday night. During the raid, the Israelis killed senior Hizbollah commanders and left with important intelligence material...Doesn't this sound a little different from what you were told about this event by your CNN, BBC, and Sky reporters?"Michael Barone notes on his blog, that more Republicans than Democrats support Israel (HT: Powerline).
My comment? Go Israel, GO!!!!!!
UPDATE: more important blog posts-
Atlas links to a 1968 editorial, written "the brilliant marketing tool of the imaginary "Palestinians" came into vogue". Pamela, AKA Atlas, notes: "And we here are 40 years later and the holocaust may very well be upon us."
Victor Davis Hanson has an important piece in the Washington Times today, It's Not Just About Land: "The answer boils down to Islamists feeling their reputation is at stake. Words like "honor" and "pride" are evoked-- in the sense they need to be regained -- by every insecure radical in the Islamic world, from al Qaeda's Osama bin Laden to Hezbollah's Sheik Hassan Nasrallah and Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Fist-shaking crowds, fiery mullahs and terrorists all boast of not giving an inch to infidels, and restoring the now sullied honor of the Islamic people. Why their hurt? For about the last half-century, globalization has bypassed most of the recalcitrant Middle East -- economically, socially and politically. So there are now few inventions and little science emanating from the Islamic world -- but a great deal of poverty, tyranny and violence. And rather than make the necessary structural changes that might end cultural impediments to progress and modernity -- such as tribalism, patriarchy, gender apartheid, polygamy, autocracy, statism and fundamentalism -- too many Middle Easterners have preferred to embrace the reactionary past and the cult of victimization..."

And on the disgusting Drive By Media (MSM) front, LGF links to an article in New York Magazine declaring that Israel is a mistake.
