I wasn't suggesting anything Gbaji.

I was merely pointing out that certain posters on this thread and other similar threads around the place are all, 'yeah yeah...bloody aarabs, at it again. Wont hurt us over here tho, nice an' safe in the USA, WWIII! Bring it On!!".

Of course someone supplying Hezbollah. My point is that we are, some of us at least, being completely blasee about a very dangerous situation, that if it escalates, a thing we should all dread, at risk of more 9/11's. The perception in the arab world is that the USA is again suppporting State Sponsored terror, or at the very least not condemning it. Again.

Of course Iran is supporting Hezbollah. it's their way of propagating the war with Israel without getting directly involved. Once direct involvement does happen, of course, that is the real sign. It may not be Iran though; Israel might jump the gun and fire first.

Its said that Iran supplied Hezbollah with multiple missles that were shot into Isreal. However, I am unaware if that has been confirmed yet.


Let me ask you something. Israel has US tanks, warplanes, and helicopters.. So, with that in mind, do we get held responsible for what ISrael does? (oh yes, I have left out details for the sake of simplicity)

No, Iran hasn't jumped in yet. When they fire weapons themselves, THEN they have jumped in.

Those "missiles" are simple unguided tube rockets with a bomb strapped ont he other end. No guidance, fuelled by a simple black powder rocket motor consisting of a welded steel or aluminum cylender with a nozzile plug at one end, and maybe a few fins slapped on if they are feeling particularily motivated. The only reason they are hitting anything at all with them is they are fireing them into rather target rich evironments.

Apparently the missle that struck the Israeli boat was radar guided, provided by Iran via Revolutionary Guards operating in south Lebanon.

Go Israel, go. Kill every last one of those Muzzie bastards. You guys have had six years to get ready for this opportunity. Now it's time to make the best use of it.

Yeah...um Totem I think the **** rally is down the street.

It is a very dangerous situation, seriously if this escalates further and America comes in and losses even more man power then other countries might decide to settle old scores elsewhere.
I know it is hard but in reality the only way to stop this from happening is for Israel to turn a blind eye for a long time to wear down the support for these groups. Or maybe have special forces operate and assasinate high profile targets.

If this tit for tat keeps going it will never end

This will be fun watching Totem tear you a new ***.



As far as the topic goes, looks like Iran, Syria, and Israel will be having glass figurine sales soon.

Why will he tear me a new one? Is he going to let us all now exactly why all muslims should be killed? That would be interesting, if he can more power to him. But if he is just going to call me names, I think I am old enough that it won't phase me.

If I think that a call for Israel to kill all the "Muzzies" is a ******, xenophobic, inane, red necked, stupid, intolerant statement I will say so. If you have a problem with me calling him a ****, feel free to replace it with KKK or other white power movement.

I could be wrong, but didn't ****'s typically go after Jews? Smiley: lol

I see that Syria and Iran have taken the radical stance of saying "We think Israel should stop attacking and agree to exactly what Hezbollah asked for on Day 1"

I'd have to say Syria co-owns Lebanon with the U.S.

If they *want* to assure Iran steps in and WW3 ensues...then yeah. I'd imagine that Israel's self-preservation includes not touching off Global Thermonuclear War.

That brings up a good point, actually. They should settle the whole matter with a good game of chess.

I just feel that Isreal is making a rash decision. Essentially being bombed will do that, but I believe everyone we dont want to see involved are gonna make their pressence felt. The middle east is gonna be entirely ravaged with chaos and war, and America is gonna be thrust in the middle of something we cannot deal with (having a preoccupation in Iraq at the moment). I just see the everything falling apart at this point. Not even with the middle east itself, but with Iran and N.Korea. Everyone seems to be pushing the limits as of late, and something has to give somewhere. Its true we can only speculate, but the turmoil seems to be growing quite immense.


Having a preocupation with Iraq? Strategically speaking, having 150,000+ soldiers already in the region, with airbases setup, navy in the waters, is a bad thing? If an all out war breaks out in the ME, I can't think of many better a position for us to be in.

Iran is the current threat, and we have air bases in Iraq we've been using for operations there that are how many miles away from Iran? If you want to bring North Korea into the picture, sure, they could be an issue. But it's likely they are just flexing because they realize the US is a bit preoccupied elsewhere, and are looking for handouts. It could also be they want to nuke South Korea, but what can really be done about that currently besides allowing Japan to engage them.

I don't know, it's definitely a stressful time for sure. But given our definite strategic advantage, barring involvement by the Russians or the Chinese, imagine what the outlook would be if you were an Iranian citizen? Watch Afghanistan and Iraq turned upside down, and your crazy president is picking a fight with the very same military. I feel for the Iranians, it is my understanding that the majority of them do not want to engage in any further conflict...but loony leader might just take them there.

How about nuking the whole site from orbit?

It's the only way to be sure.
