Israel launched airstrikes and sent troops into southern Lebanon today after Hezbollah said its guerrillas had abducted two Israeli soldiers. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert described the Hezbollah attacks as an "act of war" and promised a "very painful and far-reaching" response, The Associated Press reported.

Isn't it funny how the tyrants and bad guys always refer to an "act of war", etc?

They look hard enough they may find WMD's belonging to Iraq.

Charlie,

Are you calling the prime minister of Israel a tyrant and bad guy?

Go Israel !

No, not really, just misread the statement, thought it was the Hezbaloah who were making those claims.

Charlie

after hizbullah terrorists,, from the safety of lebenon, attacked a jewish patrol in israel, killed 3 and kidnapped 2 more israeli soldier, the prime minister called it "an act of war."

when you kidbap a soldier from his own country, that would ne an act of war.

the culprit is lebonon which gives the hizbullah terrorists safe haven and a place to engage from.

israel is now in another war to keep israel alive.

Several Soldiers were killed in the attack that resulted in the kidnapping . . . The attack took place on Isreali soil . . .

"JERUSALEM - Israel widened its offensive against Hezbollah guerrillas on Thursday, targeting Beirut’s international airport and blasting southern Lebanon for a second day, police and airport officials said. Twenty-two civilians were reported killed in the south, local media said."

"In an attempt to assassinate top Hamas fugitives Wednesday, Israel dropped a quarter-ton bomb on a home in Gaza City, killing a couple and seven of their children, ages 4-18."

Those aledged terrorist must be very glad that they are not civilians, huh.

JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Israeli fighter jets bombed Beirut International Airport Thursday, expanding Israel's military campaign against Lebanon's Hezbollah guerrillas holding two Israeli soldiers captive.

All three of the airport's runways were rendered unusable in the airstrikes and a as a result the airport was closed, a senior Lebanese aviation official said.

Israel Defense Forces said it targeted the airport's runways because the airport served as a central hub for the transfer for weapons and supplies to Hezbollah.

My g/f's boss is from Beriut, Lebanon . . . His parents are still there and he is frantic about his frail father . . . He was considering flying them out . . .

Plan B . . .

I strongly support Israel...but we really don't need another war right now.

so....Charlie.....uh, you mentioned that it was always tyrants and bad guys that called things "acts of war."

Now you realize that it was really the supposed "good guys" that said it.

What's your stance now? Do you still stand behind that original statement?

:)

As a rule, yes I do still stand behind that statement!

Charlie

Read "Why Israel Lost" by Richard Ben Cramer. It is an eyeopener for many.

News to me...when did Israel loose?

Read the book Compay, it explains why Israel's tactics have been a losing proposition.

If anyone is wondering where tey stands...
