i think wqe should burn beruit to the ground if hizbulla fires one rocket at us... and damascus as well.

Empty words by hollow diplomats, at the service of a has been world power that no one is listening to.

you've done a great job at doing NOTHING to stop Hizbollah, Hamas, North Korea, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, and Iran from arming, selling weapons, building new weapons, and creating weapons of mass destruction! great job! At this rate, WWIII is just around the corner...

If he were so mighty mighty he'd be out and about on walkabout not hidden in a safe cave!

report: Israel can wipe out all Lebanese army bases in less than four hours... Israel can turn Lebanon into a parking lot in hours... Does anyone have any doubt?

Do you realize that Obama has MAJOR issues inside the United States to deal with before going after Hamas, Iran, Hizbullah and North Korea! Like a stagnant economy. Unemployment. The United States does NOT have teh resources to be the world's policeman anymore. Israel will increasingly have to fend for itself - which is a good thing because now Israel may finally be able to take care of business unimpeded, unlike with Clinton in the 90s with the US hovering over every decision Israel made. Maybe North Korea will sell Israel weapons, too. They probably just need to outbid the bad guys.

No Billy boy there is no doubt. Now that the Likiweaks have exposed the Arab duplicity in wishing to end the influence of Iran including its satelite hamas and hezbollah, be assured that when war starts and it will Lebanon wont be left as a parking lot. Thats part of modernity. Cedarland will return to the stone age in less then 4 hours No one would give a pigs manure. Does anyone have any doubt?

my dear israelis pls be reminded that next time israel decides on a new northern endeavor, it's not gonna be a walk in the park.... and when i say a walk in the park i mean 2006... we're gonna give you a taste of your own medicine... you're gonna feeeel the horror our children have felt for 30 years.... and remember, ben gurion airport for beirut airport, TA for Beirut, and 1 israeli life for 1 lebanese life... so bring it on...

you will know war and death if your hizbulla fires one rocket. 2006 was nothing. beirut will burn. 50,000 lebanese for every 1 israeli... got it!!??thug!!

Aren't these the very same issues that Franklin Delano Roosevelt had to battle during his presidency? Yet he found the time to put an end to arguably the greatest evil facing the world (at least until the advent of the Islamofascist Republic of Iran, which the United States could have -- no, SHOULD HAVE -- nipped in the bud, right there when Iranian so-called "students" invaded the United States Embassy in Teheran, which is tantamount to invading the United States. Well, Roosevelt recognized the wisdom of putting an end to the evils which were Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. Seventy-six million lives were lost in the process, but good triumphed over evil. That would not have happened had the United States not entered the war. By the way, North Korea's weapons systems can reach the United States. Thought you might want to know that. Al Qaeda's weapons HAVE already reached the United States. Isn't it better to destroy an evil before it destroys you? Roosevelt recognized that a long time before nuclear weapons came into play. What a pity that successive American presidents -- especially Carter and now Obama -- continue to fiddle while Rome burns? And what makes you think that the United States would emerge unscathed from any conflict which they have failed to stop WHILE THEY STILL COULD?

You're not all that erudite. Sorry.

BIG talk from a country who will disappear into a large glowing cinder if Israel so chooses. Be careful. Whatever in the world will you do when Israel decides to take you clowns seriously -- you do, after all, sit on our northern border -- and launches against Lebanon? WHATEVER WILL YOU DO? You would be well advised to tone down your stupid rhetoric and your baseless bravado. It's not a good idea to manifest yourself as an existential threat against an extremely sophisticated nuclear power. The best part: no one will come to your aid. Lebanon is a thorn is a great many sides. Don't delude yourself into thinking otherwise. Airport for airport? Tel Aviv for Beirut? One Israeli life for one Lebanese life? Don't make me laugh! Israel can obliterate Lebanon -- and your big mouth -- in a nanosecond. For your sake, keep that in mind. All that said, thank you so much for your extremely amusing post. May I echo you? "Bring it on." Too bad you won't be around to appreciate the outcome.

Israel will have no choice but to eradicate the population base of iran, syria, lebanon. That will be the war to end all wars in the middle east.

We knew this without Wikileaks no news here, we knew Syria,Iran were supplying arms to Hezbollah all along. This time around(should there be another one) Israel will not hold back,it will flatten southern Lebanon no matter what the UN or Eu says. Just like the US should have done in Afghanistan tribal areas ! Just like they should also so do to destroy the Somali Prirates in Somalia !

You saying BEN GURION AiRPORT FOR BEIRUT AIRPORT,T/A FOR BEIRUT,ETC,. You may be right in one or two,but at the end all OF BEAUTIFUL LEBANON will be in rubble. One advice for you,do not underestimate the JEWS OR ISRAEL.

Obama would be more convincing condemning arms sales if it weren't for the fact that in the last two years the US has increased the world-wide sale of weapons to new records. Apparently, the hypocrite Obama is more concerned about cornering the market for death than he is about peace. and #10, stop crying like a baby, you seem to forget: it was Lebanon that started the 2006 war with an unprovoked attack on Israel.

The Lebanese like to think that it was Israel, not Hezbollah, that had a "new northern endeavor" in 2006. Christopher - you Lebanese are slaves to Iran and its puppet Hezbollah, who are both willing to fight to the last Lebanese Christian (like you), Sunni and Druze. In 2006 Hezbollah made an unprovoked attack on Israeli soldiers and civilians - and you Lebanese paid a terrible price. We Israelis have developed a very very very low tolerance for aggression from Lebanon, which has been the root cause of every Israeli attack on your country for the past 40 years. For years you were plagued by the Palestinians who tried to fight Israel from your soil. Now you are plagued by Hezbollah who want to take over your country. We're not worried. We can defend ourselves as we always have. Just like in 2006, any military action by Hezbollah is seen as aggression by Lebanon, and will be retaliated against in force.

before Lebanon and Syria are obliterated.

The likes of Livni will protect israeli civilians .She is well prepared ,sniping at Netanyahu every day .Israel is about as prepared as it was prepared for the carmel fires...

actually Hezbollah missiles can reach anywhere in"Israel" .

Mea culpa. I misinterpreted your post (this is what happens when I start reading posts before I've had my first cup of coffee). I do apologize. You ARE erudite, in an extremely compelling Oz sort of way ....

There are plenty of forrests in Lebanon, though. And plenty of incendiary bombs in Israel capable of reaching them with very little trouble at all. You REALLY need to learn to keep your predictable stupidity on a leash. Don't you EVER get tired of being humiliated?

If Obama has major issues inside the US to take care of, before worrying about foreign affairs, then why the hell doesn't he get of our (Israel's) backs, stop whinging about settlements, stop trying to appease the Palis and stop trying to force ahis version of a peace solution on us. There's plenty of quiet cooperation between Israel and the Palis that hardly ever makes the headlines, but shows that both sides can achieve some sort of peace in our own way in our own time. By all means, let Obama keep stop meddling in our affairs.

On any given day there are hundreds of Arabs in Tel Aviv, let alone thousands in nearby Yafo. But I'm sure they don't mind dying for Nasrallah.

dealers only meet the demand... everybody gets something they want. All the hand wringing and gnashing of teeth on this news blog will never shut down a working and lucrative economic model. Excuse me now... I have to go and feed the cats.

or do they already pay you per post which and so you aren't just living on ynet you are living off ynet?!
