I wonder how much the last bullet has to do with the all the others:
- The unending spy drama in Lebanon
- The farcical Hariri Tribunal
- Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah’s 7/16 and 7/22 speeches
- The Sayyed’s upcoming 8/3 speech (he is supposed to tell everyone everything they have found out about the spy ring?)
- Then, the day after the Sayyed’s 7/22 speech, the Saudis announced they were flying to Lebanon
- Ahmadinejad was talking today about having proof that the U.S./Israel plan to attack two Middle Eastern countries in the next few months.
Iran and Lebanon or Iran and Gaza? Probably not Iran and Syria. Does everyone else feel pre-war uneasiness around here? The news these past few weeks has been particularly grim, aside from the more macabre everyday stuff that Israel does to the Palestinians, there has also been a not so subtle undercurrent of impending war. I wonder how big Israel will have to lose before they realize that they are never going to win against Hezbollah.
Unfortunately, too many Lebanese will die in the process of us finding out. But, certainly Israel knows that since they last foolishly waged war on Lebanon, Hezbollah has been amassing more self-defense weapons and getting more training. I don’t think Israel cares. A victory to them doesn’t have to mean anything more than a high civilian casualty rate.
