I find it amazing what contortions the left will go to, in order to justify opposing Israel (and the US, by proxy). The party that was supposed to support human rights, women's rights and homosexual rights will side with a party that ABHORS ALL OF THAT, just to get at least a little dig in at conservatives and Bush. What total hypocrites.

Hey Jack., everyone knows that the French eagerly turned over the Jews to the Nazis. the French still are a bunch of anti-semites. And Chirac is a corrupt con man lining his pockets at the world's expense. The French are good for nothing cowards and the whole world knows it. Ever wonder why you are not speaking German?

BOY olmert will be the one to learn the hard way. IDF has been bombing south lebanon for 15 days from the air , and they can't even hold a battle one day without sustaining 15 dead ! WOW seems like fear is kikking in now !

no one isinnocent no one will survive(that is pissant terrorist)cant even spell it. h is end is now--get smart--forget hate--live your life--

The problm is Arabs have their heads shoved so far up their rear ends that they can't smell anything but crap. Go Israel! Don't stop with Lesbianom, but go right through Syreradia and Urun (Iran) as well!

The old Middle East of capitulation and endless talking without any real change is in the beginnings of it's death throws. We are witnessing this sea change and as usual, the euro-pee-ons show their dislike of the Jews by asking for a "quick fix" which of course never fixes anything. The status quo is somehow, in a sick way, comforting to these euro-pee-ons, firmly ensconced in the ivory towers of their socialist yet exceedingly decadent societies. I say "Bravo!! Mr. Olmert" Do the world a favor and put these murdering scumbags out of business. Make a euro-pee-on cry in their warm beer.

If Mexico, or a militant group within Mexico was firing rockets at San Diego, what would the US do? If France was firing rockets at southern English cities, what would the British do? Everyone opposed seems to simply accept that these radical muslim attacks are a way of life and must be endured. Israel, as a soverign nation, has the right to defend itself against attacks. That's what they're doing, nothing more. Just becuase they're jews does not mean they shouldn't defend themselves against groups that have called for their extermination.

Thank God you were not around when your country was under attack. The art of giving up was perfected by the French....not the English. How easily you discount the value of defending your own race. Several times in history your country has been attacked. Justly or not your ancesters boldly defended their county and their race.. You have no right to prohibit other races from the same. The Jews are against a group of people who openly embrace the death of all Jews. Are you among them?

I was at the 1972 Munich Olympics and saw first hand the depths of the PLO's indiffrence for life when they murdered your athletes and the World found a way to excuse that. Don't let the world press change your cource of action one byte. As an American Military Veteran I applaude your course of action in Lebanon. My only regret is that Israel won't go after Hizbullah in Damascus. The day will come, when the USA and Israel sign a Mutual Defence Treaty and then and only then will the radicals who are seeking the disstuction of Israel have to go find a new cause to support or DIE....

Israel has done more damage to itself and the US in this two weeks then any time in their history. Not only is world opinion against them, but Hezbollah, a pretty well-trained bunch of thugs, is man for man kicking their azz. Disaster. And if Damascus is not taken down the whole thing was for nothing.

you have got to be kidding! Displaying weakness, like resigning, in face of Hezbollah mischief, is akin to giving up to Iranian mischief. Olmert did the right thing. Hammer the bastards of Hezbollah before they get new ideas and cause further mischief.

Whatever Kofi says, Israel should do the opposite! Don't give up the fight. The world is behind you. Max from New York

Obviously this is a war between a Loving God and Demonic entity. Islam has shown itself to be representative of malevolent intent. Israel is just defending their families and citizens from this killing malevolence. At the same time, Islam does nothing to denounce the killing factions that caused the same terrorism that resulted in the World Trade Tower killings. The world is tired of this malevolence. It is time to end all Islamic malevolent violence that threatens the World. So, I personally see this war as the age old conflict, Good vs Evil. Islam has shown itself to be this demonic evil. Wake up citizens of this Earth, this is a World war! Only the loving God that is not of Islam will prevail. Bush is the chosen one to represent the U.S. in these times of Islamic malevolent killing of children and anyone else that gets in their way. Only demonic entities would take this stance. Again Citizens of this Earth, WAKE UP! If you are not of Islam, your are not worthy of living as far as Islam is concerned. So, if Islam wins, you are next target!

I like how you wrote "OUR PRISONERS," instead of "Their prisoners."

Hezbollah are thugs. They should be rooted out and killed. They are of a piece of Iran, Syria, and the rest of the people in the region who are fanatics.

It's apparent to me that Rick from London has no concept of war or how battles are conducted, I'll bet he knows alot about white flags and crying.

If the UN implemented its own passed resolution 1559 two years ago and enforced it, there would be no current war between Hezbollah and Israel. Hezbollah is at fault for provoking this war and the UN needs to recognize it and learn that their lack of enforcement allowed it to happen.

Your efforts here will work about as well as those of Tokyo Rose did. You'll get your a** kicked, you can trust me on this.

Right on #23! This is the time to stop grumbling and get behind Israel! WE MUST SUPPORT GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE! Read the Bible. Pray.

Memo to Hizbullah: Israel is not George Bush, they fight to win and are allowed to win.

Who are u kidding the lebanese terrorists, if israel let them go they will try to kill the jews again. Israle should kill the terrorists instead of putting them in jails and spending lot of money on them for feeding and building cells. Finish it off.

Israel should use Flame Thrower in close combat. or napom bombs on the hill sides where Hezbollah is dug in. and if they don't have them, the United States should send them to Israel. God Bless Israel

Hi We're France.....We Surrender!!

the G-dless beliefs of uneducated freaks.

Well, Iraq mess was a good example to show the US power in an asymetric war. Are you really a millitary guy?

Israel has every right to defend itself with force if it's citizens are being kidnapped on their own soil. And I think we, the US, should continue to support them in doing so. They're in the middle of a viper pit in the Middle East and they need help, not criticism. The Lebanese people need to make a choice, Hizbollah or their own country.

Hey #24. You said Olmert better "get his troops back across the border before Hizbulluh gets serious." Well yeah, because, you know, Jack from France is coming, and he's foaming at the mouth. YOU might want to head down to the border and help old Jack. Be sure to stand real close to him. But don't block that sign he'll be holding that says " I AM HIZBULLAH ".

Hey Jack, where did you go??? Have you surrendered???? Did you raise the WHITE FLAG???? I'm just asking!! TURNED TAIL AND RAN DIDN'T YOU???? YA GOTTA LOVE THE FRENCH!!! Oh,,,your not French???Just living there awhile until your terrorist cell can get their shit together and blow something up???? Well hold on a minute Jack!!! Don't blow up anything in France!! France is your friend Jack!!! They are helping you mame and kill innocent people, especially Jews!!! You need to move across the border to Spain,,,,,no, no, wait a minute,,,,,Spain is also your friend !! I KNOW!!!! Jack, I know where you should go! OH, THIS IS EXCITING!!!!!!!! Head to Lebanon and go as far south as you can, RIGHT ON THE BORDER WITH ISRAEL!!!! Thats where all the Jews are Jack!!!! Stand right on the border and be sure to make a BIG sign that says " I AM HIZBULLAH ". Someone WILL find you.

Hezbollah must be eradicated. Good job so far Olmert.

We are behind Olmert!
