Israel beware. Hizbullsh*t does whatever they want and have such a good PR campaign that most of the world has been suckered and will continue believing your country does wrong against Hizbullsh*t and Hamas$ while they are the 'innocent' victims of Israeli aggression. Let it be known that I, and a few others, did not fall for their BS.

Jake T ,   Alaska   (09.14.07)

8. US Claims Hezbollah still smuggling arms through Syria
CArolyn ,   Israel   (09.14.07)
So bring the proof before the UN General Assembly and demand something be done to stop the weapons smuggling. Give them a few days to do something concrete about it, if they fail Put the UN troops on the border with Syria/Lebanon and stop and search all vechicles entering Lebanon,if that doesn't work blow them up!

Either you have a long term memory loss,or you are a just plain idiot like your commander in chief in the white house. Remember what happened to your "Elite Marine Corps" in Beirut 1983? if you dont like what you see in Lebanon,take your perveted twisted excuse for a brain to iraq and make tough statements there.unlike the Iraqi's that your goverment's twisted lies succeeded in creating infighting,thats not gonna happen in lebanon.or you gonna be running so fast like your a$$ is on fire and your head is catching..
10. Arms Smuggling denial???
Rick ,   Bmore, USA   (09.14.07)
How can Hizbullah deny smuggling arms? Do they control a port or airport? Do angels (or demons) bring the arms to them? They cannot rearm without smuggling. To deny this conclusion is to defy logic. Defying logic in this way leads to madness. Israel might arms a drone with air to ground missiles and patrol the border. Hitting a supply train well up in the border mountains would pose an interesting problem to Hizbullah. The secondary explosions would prove that smuggling was occurring. But to complain would be to admit to the smuggling.

15. Big Deal, Israeli violates the same UN resolution daily
Mr. Knowitall ,   Frostbite Falls, MN   (09.15.07)
Since Israel refuses to abide by all UN resolutions, including the one that they claim the Hezbollah militia is violating, Israel is in no position to complain about the violations of others, nor is the US when acting as Israel’s proxy. Also the US is has been smuggling offensive weapons, including those banned internationally, including WMD’s such as white phosphorous, to Israel for years, and it is estimated that over 30 billion dollars in such offensive weapons will be smuggled into Israel from the US over the next decade. Hezbollah is a vital part of Lebanon's defense against Israeli aggression going back to its formation during the previous Israeli aggression and occupation of Lebanon, so it must maintain its capabilities high as a deterrence in spite of the objections of colonial imperialist regimes whose continual violations of the sovereignty of other nations is routine. The US and Israel have no reason to object to Hezbollah's military preparedness unless they intend to once again attack the people of Lebanon.

21. Fascinating
Eric ,   Israel   (09.15.07)
So Iran is the devil, Syria is now on the brink of being a nuke power, and all of a sudden the US has a problem with Hezballah rearming. All this while we are flying around Syria's airspace and the Americans are moving their Navy against the shores of Iran & Lebanon. Oh, and of course, everyone has WMD's that we must destroy. Hmmmmm, I wonder how this ends.
22. Time will tell...
Hamza ,   Jordan   (09.15.07)
Israelis are still very cocky i see. Did you not get a battering last summer by a militia/political group? People bash Syria for fighting Israel via their support for both Hizballah and Hamas. I find that very rich considering all the IAF do is fly their flashy American made jets thousands of feet above the ground. Yes that's very brave. End of the day everyone fights their battles according to their capabilities. Whether you like it or not Syria is a threat. If Hizballah humiliated Israel with the thousands of missiles they showered on Israel, how many of these missiles do you think Syria possesses? Two, three, four times as much? Time will tell i guess...
