1. Hezbollah's support from Teheran
(11.21.11)
... is another good reason for Israel to cut the balls of the Butchers from Teheran. Technically, Iran has declared war on Israel a number of times, and practically it has been waging war against Israel for decades by attacking its embassies and its citizens either directly through its agents, or through the terrorist organizations which it sponsors. It's time to remove the gloves and cut the snake's head. Its tail will wiggle a bit longer but will die too, especially now that its Syrian keeper is history. In the process Israel will suffer and Lebanon will get destroyed again, but this is a price everybody should be ready to pay to rid the Middle East of the Teheran Genocidal Dictatorship and its satellites, and preventing them from acquiring Nuclear capabilities. Time to put those Bunker Busting bombs to good use!
2. not surprising at all
chaim.s 54st. ,   brooklyn ny   (11.21.11)
would not be surprised if the double agent who betrayed them,lives in the white house,
3. lazy media ?
Marcel ,   Florida   (11.21.11)
it's no surprise that this story left out the help Hezbollah has been getting from Russia to find the CIA assets in Lebanon. The western media is getting worse by the day.
4. There's more here than meets the eye
AlanEigenstein ,   North Bergen, NJ, US   (11.21.11)
The US has the intelligence capabilities to overwhelm both Hezbollah and Iran, if we wanted. The fact that the US does not do this directly contradicts the assertion that the US recognizes them as the most effective terrorist organization. Obama key strategy is to use his "persuasive powers" to bring Hezbollah and Iran in line, and an effective US intelligence effort would only make Iran and Hezbollah angry--and Obama will do ANYTHING to make sure they're not angry with us. That's why he's a "strategic genius". Just ask him.
5. To: Chaim at No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.21.11)
Kudos to you! I was thinking the very same thing.
6. 12 assets & Nasrallah is still alive?!
(11.21.11)
what? on the east side of eden were those 12 assets doing?
7. swallowing this story
sweeter than honey ,   far away   (11.21.11)
is as gullible as swallowing the fars (iranian) news agency stories about the Mek (monafekin) etc., etc.. as if any intelligence organisation is not repeatedly issueing false stories, (called news plants) in the hope that an enemy believes.
8. @2 your time line is off, that was in 2003 under Bush!
Nia ,   Israel   (11.21.11)
Yes, yes, the story you are referring to is known as the "CIA leak scandel" or the "Plame Affair" of 2003. What happened was that President George W. Bush and his staff didn't like what her husband had to say about the Bush administration and so they blew her CIA cover. (I really do wish that you people would learn history before running off at the mouth without checking to see if the Republicans have already done what it is that you are accusing the Democrats of doing!)
9. Pollard
Nathan ,   Raanana, Israel   (11.21.11)
I hope they don't spend as much time in Lebanese prisons as Jonathan Pollard has spent in US prisons
10. Cruise and Tomahawk Missile make the best Spies
meir elazar   (11.21.11)
But now that we are out of Libya it would be a great time to start with Syria and cut Hezbollah off from Iranian supplies and support
11. #9 Good idea may be they should trade those
tea man ,   marjayoun   (11.21.11)
for Pollard then when Pollard is in lebanese hands the lebanese trade him for thousand palestinian prisoner what a bright Idea you just inspire Its like free every body
12. Their too busy at home with SPAM blaclist filters
Josh   (11.21.11)
13. Us gave Lebanon $100M to root out it own spies
joe rechtman ,   us   (11.21.11)
stupid do as stupid is
14. All efforts should be-kill their leaders!!
Don Rosenberg ,   Palatine USA   (11.21.11)
Cutting the head of the serpert should be the prime focus. Killing their leaders will keep them off balance and less effective. This should be our policy against all the racist, muslim terrorists all over.
15. I suggest most were double agents taking USA for a ride
Alan ,   SA   (11.21.11)
How do we know that most were Hezballaah Harrys and the US were working with Hezballah unknowingly ... Remember how sloppy were the CIA guys in Afghanistan who all stood in line to meet that Jordanian double agent suicide bomber. He blew a whole lot of CIA operatives and himserlf to Kingdom come...US knows about as much about Arabs andM E as my cat knows about California Surfing. PS Meeting at Pizza Hut in Beirut is a no no!
16. take care dear Nasrallah.
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.21.11)
17. Hezbollah is the future while Israel is the past...
(11.21.11)
Kudos to Hezbollah...
18. All problem with Hezbollah
Oleg ,   USA   (11.21.11)
is because there are two idiots and traitors in Israel politics; Barak, who run out of Lebanon leaving people who supported Israel< I am not talking about ammunition> and Olmert, who had green light to eliminate this threat from the surface of the Earth and who was too scarry to do so. This piece of garbage barely sold Israel to pals according to C. Rice memoirs.
19. Mr. Beautiful
The Lady   (11.21.11)
Any chance Mr. Beautiful sitting in the White House is "quietly" tipping Hezbollah,their clown Nasrallah and etc. etc. etc. off about the US/GB Spy rings etc.
20. # 8 Sorry Chum
Moragh   (11.21.11)
Isn't there a teeny weeny chance that you are the one who errs!
21. @20 sorry old bean #8 is on point
Fiona ,   London   (11.21.11)
22. Maybe the Mossad should open...
Eytan Leibovitz ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.21.11)
falafel joints in Iran and meet its agents there...
23. To 22
Ken Evans ,   Goose Island USA   (11.22.11)
Of course . They should name the Restaraunts - Ramat Foods .. Nobody would ever guess Israelis are eating there.
24. To 23
Eytan Leibovitz ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.22.11)
How about a chain of new Israeli food restaurants in Iran called 'Mossad'...
