Hezbollah's 'Victory' revisited
9/1/2006 10:23 AM

The Lebanese know that Israel bombed easy-to-repair airport runways when it could have destroyed the new airport terminal and set Lebanon back 10 years. The Lebanese know that Israel attacked the Hezbollah TV towers when it could have pulverized Beirut's power grid, a billion-dollar reconstruction. The Lebanese know that next time Israel's leadership will hardly be as hesitant and restrained. Hezbollah dares not risk that next time.

 As the dust settles, the Lebanese are furious at Hezbollah for provoking a war that brought them nothing but devastation -- and then crowing about victory amid the ruins.

Another home run....While many were rooting for hezzy because it seemed like a victory against the war on terror. Many smiled claiming that israel had been defeated by the terrorist when all was said and done this round. It would appear that this may not be the case now. Humm....

 One day, someday, fighting wars while looking over your shoulder to avoid the knife in the back by the media will no longer be in vogue.
