U.S. speeds up bomb delivery for the Israelis
Washington, July. 22 (BNA) The Bush administration is rushing a delivery of precision guided bombs to Israel, which requested the expedited shipment last week after beginning its air campaign against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, American officials said Friday, this was published in US daily New York times.
The decision to quickly ship the weapons to Israel was made with relatively little debate within the Bush administration, the officials said.
Its disclosure threatens to anger Arab governments and others because of the appearance that the United States is actively aiding the Israeli bombing campaign in a way that could be compared to Iran’s efforts to arm and resupply Hezbollah.
The munitions that the United States is sending to Israel are part of a multimillion-dollar arms sale package approved last year that Israel is able to draw on as needed, the officials said.
But Israel’s request for expedited delivery of the satellite and laser-guided bombs was described as unusual by some military officers, and as an indication that Israel still had a long list of targets in Lebanon to strike.
So I guess it’s definite that the US is not involved at all in this war, it’s just a supplier or hardware… much like the drug dealer supplying drugs to school kids. Quite harmless really, I mean, the kids should know better than to indulge in drugs, and Israel should be trusted not to over-use its military might.
And in other news, US approves $42 million missile sale to Bahrain, we can use those in the forthcoming falconry and hunting season I guess!

American bombs, Iranian rockets, Syrian ambitions, Israeli intransigence, and Hizbollah’s suicidal politics. Lost in all this is the Lebanese people, being eviscerated for their inability or unwillingness to seize complete sovereign control over their country last year when the Syrian Army was finally compelled to leave.
Can anyone suggest just what rational calculation went into Hizbollah’s kidnapping of those two Israeli soldiers, and how is their rational decision related to the bloodletting of the Lebanese people? How much death and destruction are the Lebanese expected to endure, according to Hizbollah’s pre-kidnap planning?
When one looks at the Middle East, an inescapable conclusion is that every conflict for the past sixty years is the result of someone making a horrific miscalculation…including America.
‘Be free.’
Overuse? There is so such thing when someone wants to wipe you off the face of the map.
Stop shedding your crocodile tears for the Lebanese. The Lebanese army tolerates Hezbollah because they are afraid. Hezbollah puts missles into peoples homes for storage. A Hizbollah rally last year turned out 500,000 people.
The *only* people responsible for Lebanese deaths are the Lebanese themselves. If you don’t want to face Israeli missles, then CLEAN YOUR FUCKING HOUSE. This is war, not a fucking tickling competition. And the object of war is to destroy your enemy.
But keep up your whining Mahmood. If it isn’t Israel’s fault, it’s the US, eh? blah blah blah.
My entire long life, I have always been impressed with the positive correlation between the use of a four letter word during discourse and the low IQ—or at least the poorer education—of the user. Profanity during intercourse can be a lot of fun; profanity during discourse merely reveals an immature mind.
‘Be free,’ Mahmood.
Anon,
You say that ‘the object of war is to destroy your enemy’.
Who is the enemy here? the Lebanese or Hizbollah? And if it is Hizbollah, then why didnt the Israelis have the guts to hit Iran/Syria??? Those two countries have more power/funding/control over Hizbollah than the Lebanese government. And you know that.
The object of this war is to send a very very clear signal to Iran. At the expense of the Lebanese. And the region. With very significant long term repercussions for the whole area. Including Israel.
‘You break it, you fix it’. The US broke Iraq, and is leaving it to slide into hell. Slowly. Israel broke Lebanon (with significat US support) and is going to leave it to slide into hell. In order to contain Iran. Or so they think.
Hizbolla was born after 1982. Who is going to be born in 2006 that is going to create another problem in 2036???
Enough is enough.
Saudi Arabia has just finished a US$ 276 mn deal for spare parts, and there is a US$ 6 bn deal for new weapons expected to be signed in the coming few days. Another deal with France is expected too after the visit of crown prince. However, all this money is not enough to protect us, and any time we would feel any danger we would immediately call our American friends for help. Depressing.
There are conditions that come with purchasing these weapons for
‘defensive’ reasons.
1) Not to use it on the US an any of its allies.
Hence, they can’t be used in any war.
The US President is the ‘Al Capone’ in this scenario.
The countries here, that need protection from outside
and internal threats. pay a heavy cover charge.
We need to focus on self-reliance. Cleaning our house first
is important. Then, developing the weapons to shift the
balance of power. Only then Israel will have no choice but to
accept a Palestinian state and Arab Jerusalem as its capital.
I pray for the innocent souls that have died, will die, the
injured and the ones who will be injured.
Jedi,
You misunderstand. Your questionable history aside, the objective of war is to win. The ‘you broke it, you fix it’ has nothing to do with war. It’s simply ‘you break it’. How long should Israel tolerate this nonsense? One cease fire after another, broken time and time again, and each day Hezbollah gets more money and material from Iran. The suggestion that this would be better solved by attack Iran is absurd. *Nuking* Iran may solve the problem, but Israel lacks the conventional capacity to destroy the Iranian terror machine. And lord knows the international ‘community’ would collectively shit their pants if that happened.
I would suggest that Israel pull back from the border and scurry on home. Then, the next day, when Hezbollah has one of their patented mass murder rallies( funny, you never see those in Israel ) where 200,000 Hezbollah supporters show up shooting guns, adorning their children with grenades and holding up the Quran, they should bomb the shit out of the place. Poof! Problem solved.
I’m only half serious.
The question is when are Arabs/Muslims going to take responsibility for themselves? When 300 million of you are incinerated? Were creeping in that direction.
And duoist, swearing in and of itself has no more correlation with maturity. If you swear *alot*, then it only reveals a limited vocabulary. A better indicator of a weak mind is someone who injects a completely irrelevant comment into a debate, which you’ve neatly demonstrated for us. With a cheesy moniker to boot!
I am surprised by the lack of focus on Iran from you guys. I say surprised not as in , tsk tsk..but ..it’s been talked about on quite a few sites overhere (US). The fear is that Israel, with Bush’s blessings (not the majority of sane people) is going all out to AND is trying to do away with Hezbullah once and for all (which even by a number of Israelis is being disputed as a useless strategy that won’t work) AND to lure Iran and Syria out of their hole as it were and incite their more open participation in order to have a pretext for the US to go to war with Iran. Good grief, I’ve been quite depressed thinking about it. It boggles the mind that the majority of people (and I am talking Americans) are so distanced from it all that they are not speaking up loud enough to pressure Bush and his cronies to demand a cease fire from all parties involved. Having said that, there are worldwide peace protests happening right now, tomorrow up till wednesday.. I am talking from europe, even kuweit, israel, brazil canada, us and australia.. I put it on my site and I found it on beirutsprings.com so .. see what and where you can support it.
Another article I recommend reading is found at http://docstrangelove.com where you can read on the feared readying for a war with Iran.
Anon,
you say “Your questionable history aside, the objective of war is to win”
Not in the middle East. Here the objective of war is to neutralize the enemy. Israel cannot win. It will never ever have secure borders with its neighbours. Not in my lifetime. And not in my kids.
But, Israel/US can weaken whomever they think is strongest. It can try and neuralize/neuter them. Thats the objective of this war. And the target in 2006 Iran/Syria. In the 1980’s, that target was Iran/Iraq.
As for ‘questionable’ history, you make me laugh. All history is questionable in retrospect. Read Ibn’s discourse on 1948 and the creation of the Israeli state. Not something you would find in either Israeli or US textbooks today. History is written by the winners. It doesnt make it accurate.
Ingrid. You are right. This is not about Lebanon. Or even Hizbollah. Its about Iran. And Syria. Hizbollah’s Lebanon is a proxy for Iran/Syria.
The fun continues.
Mahmood: “So I guess it’s definite that the US is not involved at all in this war, it’s just a supplier or hardware… much like the drug dealer supplying drugs to school kids. Quite harmless really, I mean, the kids should know better than to indulge in drugs, and Israel should be trusted not to over-use its military might.”
We support Israel, Mahmood. Instead of selling the Israelis precision-guided munitions which very accurately hit their targets with a minimum of civilian casualties, would it be better if we sold them Katyusha rockets to fire back at Hezbollah whose impact point is unpredictable?
The idea that the violence should be balanced is crazy. The least deadly wars are ones in which one side uses overwhelming force to end the combat. For example, the violence was evenly balanced between Iran and Iraq and as a result the war dragged on for ten years and killed a million people without resolution. The violence between the US and Iraq was wildly unbalanced in favor of the US and as a result the war ended in six weeks with 30,000 Iraqi casualties.
Hezbollah should lose. There can be no peace as long as Hezbollah lives. It’s possible for a Westernized state like Israel to tolerate Muslim states and enjoy peaceful relations with them. It’s impossible for Muslim tyrannies like Iran and Syria to tolerate non-Muslim states nor engage them peacefully.
Therefore, the only way to have peace is for Iran’s proxy Hezbollah to be extirpated. Muslims can make deals with Israel. Israel can not make deals with Hezbollah. Hezbollah can not be negotiated with, can not be reasoned with, can not be trusted to honor an agreement. The only correct respone to Hezbollah is to crush them like bugs.
Furthermore, the peace of the world depends on defeating Muslim fascism where ever it goes on the march. Iran’s agents must be defeated in Lebanon as part of a wider conflict that requires Iran’s mullahs to be defeated and their mullahcracy overthrown. After all, if Iran wins in Lebanon and Israel, they won’t stop there but rather take encouragement to expand elsewhere. Rather than hope for peace in our time with an empty peace agreement, peace will better be served in the long term by aggressively confronting and defeating Iran now in a small scale war, rather than later when Iran gains momentum to launch a regional war.

Ahmed: “Saudi Arabia has just finished a US$ 276 mn deal for spare parts, and there is a US$ 6 bn deal for new weapons expected to be signed in the coming few days. Another deal with France is expected too after the visit of crown prince. However, all this money is not enough to protect us, and any time we would feel any danger we would immediately call our American friends for help. Depressing.”
Here’s a more depressing fact for you, Ahmed: We’re not your friends. You Saudis certainly have demonstrated that you are not friends of America. Everyone in America knows that 15 of 19 Sep 11 skyjackers were Saudis and we know why.
It would be political suicide for any American politician to suggest that American troops be sent to defend Saudi Arabia should it be threatened by some future Saddam or, more likely, Iranian mullahs. No American is going to send his son to defend Saudi Arabia, a state which sends its sons to Iraq to kill Americans in suicide attacks, a state which supports a war of bloody religious imperialism against the world with America as its Great Satan.
The next time you are attacked by your Muslim brothers, call Osama for help. We Americans will be home watching your cities burn on Fox News with a bowl of popcorn in our laps. If I were you, I’d get myself fitted for a suicide jacket.
Steve
“If I were you, I’d get myself fitted for a suicide jacket.”
Why, I wonder whould you want him to do that? So that you will have an opportunity to realize your fantasies of death and mayhem, through the retaliatory strike (it was you, wasn’t it who advocated bombing/nuking Saudi Arabia without any concern or care for all of the millions of regular people who live there?).
Despicable and inhumane. Or on the other hand, perhaps it is all too predictably human. Animals only kill to eat, not for revenge.
Ahmed, I am sure you are intelligent enough to know that while there are many here in the US who are as racist and xenophobic as Steve (the confederate as Ibn has aptly dubbed him), fortunately, he does not speak for all Americans.
Steve, you have got to start using precision guided bombs. Men like Ahmed are our friends, period, and friends don’t agree on everything.
I second Sunrunner.. the loud mouths usually get the floor and speak to the base and agression in some..hence Fox’s (tv) popularity..But hey, it’s good that Steve is here, it reminds us all what we have to overcome…just when we thought we couldn’t be more depressed (anyone hear any horns coming from the sky??hehe)
Ingrid
Sunrunner,
You seem to ignore a lot about the Saudis, particularly their funding of Islamic terror and Sep 11, and their institutionalization of the most venomous indoctrination in hate against non-Muslims, particularly America. My contempt for Saudi Arabia is not due to racism nor xenophobia, but to the belligerent behavior of Saudis who make war on America in the most ugly way out of pure religious bigotry. Every time I see a depiction of United Flight 93 and watch Honor Wainio call her mom to tell her goodbye because terrorists are going to kill her, my outrage at the Saudis and their insane and evil Wahhabism is stoked anew.
However, it is a rather tired tactic of lefties to tar anyone who disagrees with them as racists, rather than do the hard work of thinking, the bane of the Left. It takes a pretty thick pair of blinders to ignore all the terror coming out of Saudi Arabia to claim instead that criticism can only be based on racism. Of course, that is the Saudi view which you promote, that the Saudis are innocent victims of racism and prejudice.
You also repeat the nuke slander which I have debunked before. Your argument suffers when you rely on a lie to make it.
My point is that America is not going to defend a country like Saudi Arabia that is perpetrating terror against it any more than we would spring to the defense of Nazi Germany when Russia attacked it. That’s hardly an unreasonable position as you absurdly assume nor is it some kind of zany position held by a few Republicans hunkered down in a Red State bunker. I challenge you to name anywhere in America where popular opinion favors shedding American blood to defend Saudi Arabia. Pass a poll around any greasy spoon in America asking to defend Saudi Arabia and you’ll get pages of expletives back. I can not imagine that even in New York City that defending Saudi Arabia could possibly be popular. Do you really claim with a straight face that the defense of Saudi Arabia has majority support in the US? What planet do you live on?
Ahmed has a perfectly good point in that all the American military equipment in the world will not ensure the defense of Saudi Arabia. That was proven in the first Gulf War. He makes a bad assumption that America will naturally come to the defense of the Saudis again when the last time we did so the Saudis repaid our defense of them with mass murder in our own home.
The signs of ingratitude and hatred were there, but we ignored them. The Saudis made no effort to thank America for saving their worthless lives but rather made the argument that they did not need to give thanks because they had paid for the effort, as if they were renting mall cops. My friends flying F-117s stationed in Saudi Arabia found the Saudis arrogant and unlikeable. So we are defending Saudi Arabia with our best men and equipment and they have a bad attitude about it.
All my military friends who served in Saudi Arabia found the Saudis to be arrogant and unlikeable if not overtly hostile. One of my friends is a former female enlisted member of the Air Force who served in Saudi Arabia on a base that required her to cross a footbridge over a highway between the main base and the barracks. Every day, the Saudi guard would lift his robe when he saw her and masturbate in public, calling out insults to her. She and the other women complained but Masturbating Mohammed remained at his post. That’s the respect that Saudi barbarians have for the Americans defending them.
My point is that the Saudis are too lazy and ignorant to make good use of the equipment they buy along with the natural handicaps of their dysfunctional culture. For example, Arabs don’t understand the importance of maintenance of military equipment. The biggest deficiency of Saudi defense is that the Saudi military lacks the will to defend Saudi Arabia.
The only kind of fighting the Saudis have a talent for is suicide bombing for Islam. Most of the suicide bombs in Iraq are carried by brainwashed Saudi kids hoping to bag an American for the jihad. Since America is unlikely to save Saudi Arabia next time around and the Saudis can’t make effective use of those shiny new weapons we sold them, the suicide vest is their best bet. The more Wahhabis who kill themselves, the better and more peaceful the world will be, free of their inhuman hate for all things non-Wahhabi. Saudi suicide bombers versus Iranian Revolutionary Guards in a fight to the death is the best of all possible worlds.
Steve
AGA: “Steve, you have got to start using precision guided bombs. Men like Ahmed are our friends, period, and friends don’t agree on everything.”
I dispute the premise that any Saudi is a friend of America and cite Saudi Arabia’s treacherous betrayal and attacks on America as proof. Saudis can not be friends of America while at the same time they are teaching their kids to hate and destroy America in their elementary schools, universities, mosques, and media. Likewise, there is no Saudi criticizing the state support for terror. There’s very little reason to trust Saudis and considerable risk.

Anon: “Your questionable history aside, the objective of war is to win”
Jasra: “Not in the middle East. Here the objective of war is to neutralize the enemy. Israel cannot win. It will never ever have secure borders with its neighbours. Not in my lifetime. And not in my kids.”
Jasra makes an interesting point on the Western versus Eastern ways of war. The Western way of war is to fight pitched battles to a decisive result while the Eastern way of war tends to be more raiding combat that bleeds the enemy but doesn’t kill him.
The Western way of war arises from ancient Greece where city states would lay siege to each other. Armies could do little harm to their enemies sheltered behind city walls but they could lay waste to whatever lay outside those walls. The vulnerable point of a Greek city state was its wheat fields. There is a two week window in which wheat dries out and can be burned. If an army could burn it’s enemy’s fields two or three years in a row, it could starve out the city. To reach those fields, you needed to fight with urgency, cutting your way through the blocking army in a pitched battle. Armies from democracies enjoyed an advantage in such combat by being better motivated and fighting for their own home while armies from tyrannies suffered from a lack of zeal and individual initiative. That’s how the ancient Greeks beat the Persian hordes.
The idea of decisive battles forms the spine of the Western way of war, which leads to Clausewitz and “On War.” The Eastern way of war is best laid out by Sun Tzu in “The Art of War,” which does not favor decisive battles. In fact, Sun Tzu says that if you have your enemy surrounded, give him a bolt hole to escape. Sun Tzu lays out a kind of fluid, never-ending warfare that continues at a low level without any climax. That’s probably a pretty good description of war between warlords in ancient China. I speculate that the Eastern armies did not fight pitched battles because you can’t burn rice fields. They could never completely conquer enemy armies but wear them down by bleeding them in raids and ambushes. That Eastern style of warfare is what we saw in Vietnam, now in Iraq. It also applies to the Musim terror campaign of destroying planes and trains.
Steve
Ingrid You cant expect anything from Steve but typical party lies after all he works for the US goverment and probably is posting as part of his work.
Yes, that’s right, Anonymous, it’s all part of a Big Government Conspiracy. I guess you saw right through it all. Brilliant work!
Steve
Steve, you need to read his blog. A guy who writes and thinks as he does, where he does, is a guy to whom my hat goes off. Your verbal assault was completely out of line and you should apologize.
Mahmood. this article had the potential to start a long discussion, but like many others it fell into another showdown between the idiot steve and the rest. For the sake of keeping some sense into this blog, block him or something, screw free speech, i rather have hitler talk here rather than him, atleast he got a cute mustache.
“Muslim Terror” steve? you brainwashed cunt. with a capital C.
am not even a muslim or an arab. but you still make me sick by saying that.
Steve, last warning.
This is completely uncalled for, callous and irresponsible, apart from it being rude and once again generalising.
We all know that you have a huge problem with (1) Islam, (2) Arabs, (3) their sympathisers, fine. That’s your prerogative. However, please do not use my site as a launchpad for your vitriol and vengeance.
You will find that if you bring your arguments with respect, you would be listened to, however, maybe the majority here are just like me, for the most part I just ignore your posts.
So please, demonstrate some respect for the audience of this site. If you cannot, then please limit your word to your own blog.
Mahmood: “Steve, last warning. This is completely uncalled for, callous and irresponsible, apart from it being rude and once again generalising.

Mahmood, I will wear my welcome out no further. If you prefer to join hands with the lefty multi-cultis and sing kumbaya, have at it. If you think their rosy view of the Middle East represents America, you’re very much mistaken. If you think my criticism of Islam, Muslims, and Arabs is invalid, you’re kidding yourself. If you think the rage of ordinary Americans like me about the assault of Islam on America is not going to play a part in what happens in the Middle East, you’re going to be blindsided by America’s responses in the future.
That said, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this forum and have learned a lot, mostly from those who disagreed with me. It was nice while it lasted but all good things have a beginning, middle, and an end. It’s best to accept each state with equanimity.
Adios,
Steve
Thanks Steve. Good bye.
You mean…he’s finally gone??? Can it be true?
Nah. He’s just really really upset because the fact that the Saudi Government actually came out publicly and openly against Hizbollah diffuses much of his argument that the Al Saud are atill active proponents of terror in the region. The fact that the Saudi foreign minister is meeting Condi to discuss the situation (and not as much Egypt or Jordan) really really upsets him because Steve is realizing that the US government still recorgnizes the Saudi government as power brokers. Perhaps the most significant ones at this stage.
Funny, I never thought I would see the day where the interests of the Sunni Saudi government and the Jewish Israeli government and the Evalneglical US government are so aligned against Shia Iran.(Side note to Mahmood: this is why I say that the sectarian issues are going to blow up long term…)
Steve darling. Its OK. There aint no right or wrong in politics. Just strategic interests. And, it seems like the Americans are playing the ‘enemy of my enemy is my friend’ card. I am sorry that your faith in the moral and strategic superioriority of th US government has been shaken by the outreach to the Saudis.
Hugs and Kisses.
Hohohohoho…… i missed this one…….What the hell is this???
Where are we heading to? Where is the world going to? No more humanity…. no more compassion…..wake up people we have become animals living according to the laws of the jungle.
Do you think this is right?
all this is led by the Americans yes the americans….why did they interfere in Afghanistan? 9/11 my ass
Why did they interfere with Iraq? 9/11 my ass
Why are they supplying arms to Israel, to fight terrorism ha?
well again if you did not see the photos and if you did not see the results, here below posted for your reference….This is war and Israel wanted the war….this is not about the 2 soldiers….this is about destroying Lebanon…..Thanks Thanks thanks….
And what pisses me off more is that people like steve exist on this earth…..racist, extremist and promoters of war…..This is not a Metallica song my friend this is reality….people are dyingg here billions of dollars are lost….and innocent lives are lost.
Please check the below website and judge for yourselves, the massacres, the crimes, the hatered, the revenge, as if they are taking revenge from their holocaust…..for gods sake someone understand…..It is getting reallly discusting living in this world….with people such as Bush, Blair and Kofi Anan, who resulted in the rise of the Al Qaeda and the Hezbollah and the other ‘terrorist organistions’
Enoough is enough…..

Thanks for everything Israel, US and Arab countries including the palestinians who have also turned their backs to us….The lebanese……I think this is it it`s a do or die…..Inchallah it will be a do!!!
Damn!!!
Ramy, calm down. You’re not helping the situation by your hysterics. Please.
mahmoud,
how can you calm down when the world is blinded by the media, the false media….I don`t know how? People are talking about the Lebanese as if they are flies and it is ok to kill them….
Man this is personally touching my inside…hope you understand…really man…everytime i hear the name Marwahin (where the massacre took place),tears come into my eyes.
Hizballah guerillas have families and kids and cousins and friends…but they have a belief and a commitment but the Huge Media and Public Relations campaign against the Arabs and the Hezbollah have formed these extremist opinions against us….
You know, i came across this….it is kind of funny but its true aside from the war, there is a media war. Finally the Arabs are standing up and using this tool to communicate their point of view…..and we should be asagressive as the west is becuase we have to catch up on the last i don`t know how many years when we did not utilise this very effective tool that the West is using against us….
check it out:http://www.alarabiya.net/Articles/2006/07/23/25952.htm
It seems that this is the most blogged war….
Take are….and keep it up……
Ramy, I know how painful this is. However, as a PR man yourself, being hysterical and too passionate clouds your arguments and discounts people taking note of your points. I implore you to be objective and as much as possible less hysterical.
Well, at least he was decent in his good bye and checked out himself. I went to his site and was really disturbed at the tone and disrespect. Mind you, it’s the same one I have found in other sites of those who are left wing or whatever you want to designate that. Emotions and passions can get the better in all of us, but one’s outlook as a whole will definitely taint it by coming out at every turn. However, as you said, Steve can keep those words for his own site, that’s his prerogative and that is what blogs are for. It is a shame though because it is always good to have ‘the devil’s advocate’ around for discussing sensitive issues. But, it needs to be done with respect otherwise no discussion can go forward and no one can learn from another person’s opinion.
Ingrid
agreed Ingrid, I would add that if you encounter a broken record then it will serve you well to at least kick the deck or move the needle a bit. if the same segment plays again and again, it does fray the nerves and is annoying as you don’t get to hear the rest of the record which might be a lot more interesting that that endless loop!
JASRA: ‘You break it, you fix it’. The US broke Iraq, and is leaving it to slide into hell.
Iraq slid into hell when Saddam took power. While it’s undeniable that the US made major mistakes in the invasion, what’s going on now has more to do with the culture of Iraq than anything the US did or didn’t do..
INGRID : “It boggles the mind that the majority of people (and I am talking Americans) are so distanced from it all that they are not speaking up loud enough to pressure Bush and his cronies to demand a cease fire from all parties involvedlâ€Â
Because Hezbollah is the same crowd that killed more than 200 American Marines back in the 1980s. Because Hezbollah’s fellow travelers are terrorising people all over the planet. And because there are so many conflicts and traumas going on in the world, that after a while people get insensitized to death and destruction, unfortunately.
Oh I see, then we should look back at everything every country has ever done to another to have reveange on the future? Ok, then maybe Japan should hit the U.S. with nuclear bombs, since America did it 60 years ago.
W,
Hezbollah isn’t a country.
Well, it is so easy to label Hizbullah as terrorist group. To me, anyone or country that kill innocent human are terrorist. I think Presiden Bush is a terrorist simply because he choose to kill innocent people when he has other options. Same goes for Sadam Hussein, Israel PM and many scoundrels that we are better off without. It fills me with great sadness when I see picture children killed by Israel bombs. I am sure its same ugly sight in Haifa. I wish all this war mongering leaders (can we do something to these people, like hang them) perish from this face of the earth. History will repeat itself. The muslims used to be the mightiest and most cultured, now the americans, and there will be others next. I pray for peace, for war there is no winners, all losers.
Mahmood!!
I was going to tell you this earlier, as per my plans for Steve-The-Confederate.
While I thank you for banning that waste of skin, what we can do is actually utilize his bloody legacy to show just how blood-hungry and illogical his right-wing creed is.
Here is what I have in mind:
Place a link on the top right-hand corner of your blog, in nice, big, bold, red and white letters. It would say this:
“True face of the American right-wing”
Underneath it, we would have a short list of say about 5 to-the-point quotes by Steve-The-Confederate himself. Among them would be the (paraphrased from various history of posts):
1) “I hope to see Saudi civilians die en masse”
2) “Every single breathing Muslim is responsible for Sep 11”
3) “Muslims are blood-thirsty and imperialistic, because of Islam..”,
etc, etc
If not quotes, then links to the quotes, so that people can get the context too.
Since Steve-The-Confederate seems to really really think he represents the American right-wing, then great! Place the above on your blog, so that any visitor will now know what the American right-wing really stands for.
I say this with a touch of humor of course, but I hope you give it serious consideration.
Thanks mahmood! 🙂

heh, we have another powerful tool called “Search via Google” which is quite powerful actually… I know people would find that facility quite useful!
