Thread Name: BS: Is Hezbollah Winning?
Subject: RE: BS: Is Hezbollah Winning?
Ron:

One of Hezbollah's justifications for the attack was because Israel is still occupying land that Lebanon claims was taken from them even though it was taken from Syria. I don't see how taking more land fixes anything.

Any retaliation that is not premeditated is belligerence which is what the Lebs are claiming.

I think the Christians and non Hezbollah supporters are more pissed off at Hezbollah after the destruction but how would we know with Hezbollah faking the "news" you see coming out of Lebanon.

From what I gather, you can't tell the Hizbollah fighters from the innocent civilians because they don't have uniforms. 90% of the innocent victims might not be innocent. They were told to leave because the shit was going to hit the fan. Even leaflets were dropped. Why didn't they leave if the were not Hizbollah?

Then there is the Martyr thing. They are told their life will never be worth a shit because of the evil enemy. If they die they will help their country, go to heaven and be honored as a Martyr.

I think WWI started when Archduke Ferdinand got assassinated on a bridge in Sarajevo.

They got archdukes in Lebanon? They sure don't have many bridges left.

The only way Hezbollah is won is by bullshitting gullible people into thinking they won.

Let them pound their chest and mount an even fiercer attack and see what happens.
