Maybe you're like me and couldn't figure out why only small units of Israeli special forces would venture into Southern Lebanon when the stated Israeli goal has been to find and elimnate all rocket and missile attacks. Those initial search and destroy partols were ambushed by Hezbollah, but how does Hezbollah ambush an elite, trained group of special forces soldiers? Yes, it could happen and Hezbollah is certainly trained, but there's more to the story.

Israeli forces trying to root out militant Hezbollah fighters from southern Lebanon have uncovered sophisticated "Viet Cong-style" tunnel networks and encountered fierce resistance they say indicates the presence of Iranian military advisers. In its latest report on the fighting, British-based security and intelligence journal Jane's Defence Weekly cites a "senior defence source" who claims that what the Israeli army is facing in Lebanon is not a militia force but "rather a special forces brigade of the Iranian army".

I previously posted upon Iran shipping back their war dead in a war that the government of Iran claims they are not a part of in any way, but now we learn more about what the IDF has faced in Southern Lebanon and yet again, the hands of Iran are firmly entrenched.

But with all of this in mind, and there's more mind you, there are still certain so-called pundits who claim this is an Arab-Israeli war even though the vast majority of Arab nations have publicly supported Israel and wish Hezbollah would just flee to Tehran. The Iranian hands on this entire mess have left fingerprints all over, but are these fingerprints enough to call it rock-hard evidence? I don't know, but I am not in a position to do anything about it even if they were. All I can do is shed a black light upon those fingerprints.

1 Of course the Mullahs ruling Iran are involved. As I mentioned before Hizbullah is the conception of these filthy subhuman Mullahs. Here is a picture of an anti-tank weapon captured by the IDF. The markings on it consist of the Islamist regime symbol followed by the words "Ministry of Defence and Support for the Armed Forces".

2 Oops, thought I could post graphics. But here's the IDF URL. Right at the bottom of the page there are four pictures one is labelled "Iranian Rocket". In my previous comment I translated the words on the marking.

3 the "vast majority" of Arab governments have publicly supported Israel?
 
What drugs are you on?  This degrades the credibility of everything else you say.  Give me ONE Arab government that has publicly supported Israel.  True, they aren't leaping to Hezbollah's defense, but every Arab government that has spoken to the issue has called for an immediate ceasefire.  That's what Israel desperately wants to avoid, and that is what Hezbollah and the Lebanon government wants. 

What support for Israel are you referring to?  Can you back that up?

4 Yeah Jd,
It is foolish to regard the disagreement between the Sunni's of the Arabian Peninsula and the Shiite's of Lebanon as support for Isreal. These two factions are cut out of the same piece of cloth and are simply competing for market share, so to speak, of Mulim allegiance.

Posted by: Garduneh Mehr at July 25, 2006 10:32 PM (Bp6wV)

5 Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia have publicly blamed Hizballah for the mess. While that's indirect support of Israel, and each has a Sunni majority so their condemnation of Hizballah reflects a fear of growing Iranian influence in the region, these condemnations would have been inconceivable not so long ago.

6 I also believe Iran is driving this and the region towards some point that the nutjob president of Iran believes is his destiny. But here is something to salve the soul. Jim Mcdermot is watching your back.

I am especially troubled by the fact that H.Res 921 goes far beyond
reaffirming our unwavering commitment to Israel by declaring unlimited
support for potential military action anywhere in the region. The resolution
says we: "support Israel's right to take appropriate action to defend itself,
including to conduct operations both in Israel and in the territory of nations
which pose a threat to it." (emphasis added)

I cannot link or blog roll as I am a neophyte. Bear with me as I learn. I saw this jackass on C-span and could not believe my ears.

7 Thanks, Bluto, for helping a brother out. To deny this as even tacit support for Israel is simply negating the facts. In no way did I imply Saudi Arabia, whose top religious figure even issued a fatwa against Hezbollah less than one week ago, was sending soldiers to fight alongside Israel. As much hatred as there is for Iran within the Middle East, and these public announcements are further evidence of this, there is still a deep hatred for Israel. What has happened though, or apparently, is that these governments have sided with the lessor of two evils as they see it.

As far as what drugs I am on, the last time I even took even a Tylenol was well over a year ago if then. But thank you for asking and implying since I didn't specifically spell everything out for you that I must be on medication of some kind.

9 Sorry.

There is a world of difference between Arab countries "supporting Israel" versus not actively condemning Israel.

The Shias hate the Sunnis and vice versa. Most Arab countries hate various other Arab countries.

The one and only thing they can all agree on, is that they hate the Jews. That surpasses any other agenda.

10 This Jewish Arab thing is going on too long by now. I would suggest to put a deadline on them to end this shit in a year otherwise the western community takes over the responsibilities of creating peace! That means palatine/Israel will be under Christian control. Just like the days when it was under Roman control!

Boneheads!

11 Good idea Dan. But who wishes to do the police work. While willing to stick my neck out for America I wouldn't be happy to die for another people. Vietnam was a lesson learned for me.
Only way to control them would be to issue a death sentence for anyone caught with a weapon of any type. Which isn't a bad idea. A quick hearing and boom.
Ah! But the libs, the ACLU, the Naacp, all would be screaming and our liberal Supreme Court Judges would shit in their robes. I think the biggest enemy we have is. WE.

13 It doesn't stop at Iran. The chain is, from Hezbollah, to Syria, to Iran, to China. Thats right folks China is supplying rockets and other weapons to Iran. Chinas biggest supporter? Walmart. Should the Jews bomb China, and Bentonville, Arkansas like they are bombing Beirut?

14 "Most Arab countries hate various other Arab countries."

True enough, but there is more at work here than that. It is important to remember that Iran is NOT an Arab country. It is Persian; though there are Arabs and Kurds who live there, the power is in the hands of the majority Persians.

15 Bomb Bentonville, Arkansas? Forget that, I'm too damn close to there right now. Wait until I get my work finished and I get back in Texas before you give Israel any more targets, Scott. I'm one of the regular commenters here, didn't you know that, or are you just trying to use the war in the ME to get me? Are you jealous of my standing? Haha!

16 To the worthless Arab Muslim who tries pathetically to pass himself off as a white Christian American Abu-Scott El-Islami.
From your conduct it's quite clear that you are a Muslime
For your information I am IRANIAN and I DO SEND donations to the people of Israel my ancient friends and allies.
Go back to your lizard infested desert Arab; go and take your filthy Allah'u'Akbar with you; go and have sex with your camel girl-friend.

17 Right on Charlie: The tie is Islam and not Arab/Persian.
Islamic nuts support each other. Every muslim nation would love to see Israel destroyed. Even those that are supposed to be our ally in the war against terror. It is a focal point that brings them together. A focal point that we cannot remove so this muslim/Jew thing will go on and on and on. I see no end to it short of destruction of one or the other.

No difference to me. Just big pain in the asses for the last 1000 years. You backward shits are a curse on the world. All the trouble in the world today is caused by you monkeys. Never been a scumier people in history. I respect the Arabs more than you.
