Yes, about the accusation against Syria and Iran re; weapons.

[Jay_Esbe]

The claim -of course- is that Iran and Syria are supplying Hezbollah with their weapons being used. Notice the word "supplying": It's used in the present tense.

I make no claim that the weapons being used were not supplied by Iran and Syria. 'Supplied" however is my well chosen word; Obviously, if the weapons are of Iranian or Syrian origen, that's where they came from.

But "supplying"? I highly doubt that. Just as the claims that Saddam secreted his WMD to Syria via trucks in the middle of the night was abject horseshit because we have satellite imaging that would CLEARLY show time-lapse heat signatures of any vehicle making the lengthy trip, so too are the claims of Iranian and Syrian current supply to Hezbollah for the same reason.

In addition to this fact, Israel immdeiately destroyed the air-port, and all the roads into Lebanon.

So it's nothing but bullshit. But I wouldn't put it past them to fabricate the evidence anyway. If they actually had real evidence, it surely could have and WOULD have been presented contemporary with the allegations.

It also wouldn't suprise me to see the old claim about Saddam's WMD being secreted to Syria being ressurected in the coming weeks. If Israel goes into Syria, I would IMMEDIATELY expect them to announce that they had "found Saddam's WMD there", at a time carefully calculated for maximum decpetion before our mid-term elections.

I base most of my prediction about these liars on the assumption that they lie. It's why I'm right so often.

Maybe the comments about supplying versus supply or supplied are just words to describe the source of the weaponry. The important thing from Israel's point of view is reloading. If Hezbollah starts to run low on arms, then the situation could change dramatically, so from their point of view, a blockade is tactically very important as Hezbollah doesn't have the manufacturing facilities to supply themselves with modern weaponry.

Yeah, but it's all too obvious, even for NostraEsbus. :rolleyes:

Not on your life my friend. "Is supplying" is a very clear statement made in the presence of a fact no one has ever denied (supplied). It will be used as *justification* to move into Syria. If the Syrians had an ounce of sense (and I really hate to say this because I don't want to see it), they'd attack Israel yesterday with everything they have. If the Syrian leadership doubts Israel will escalate and start bombing within the Syrian borders, they're probably going to be very sorry; this entire campaign against Lebanon IMO is only part of a stragegy to wage a much larger regional war for all the marbles; the United States bombing Iran, while Israel goes into Syria.

True. I understand the strategy invloved here from Israel's perspective. But I think this thing is going a lot further. Soon.

The real question is why everyone is whining about Syria or Iran providing weapons to Hezbollah.
Hezbollah is a resistance movement that grew out of an illlegal invasion and occupation of Lebanon. It has legitimacy by international law, while Israel stands condemned for that invasion/occupation as well as the one in 1967 and has no rights to cry foul..

So the issue for the whiners is that Israel should be allowed to invade/occupy/oppress whomever it wishes while armed with the latest military technology by the U.S. while their victims are not allowed to resist and God-forbid should not be provided any weapons with which to resist these illegal occupations and Israeli slaughter.

Because THAT is the message out there. If there is anything more hypocritical than that I like to hear it. Morally bankrupt argument if ever I saw one. And because it is it won't stand. The world is getting tired of it and so are the Jews around the world. A violent Israel which does not recognize international law and engages in aggression causing muslims accross the globe to engage in terrorism (in which I do NOT include Hezbollah and HAMAS) has become an albatros around their collective necks. It is going to be the cause of a new wave of anti-semitism and that is not what they need. There is a huge international Jewish demand for Israel to stop this aggression
