re: #575 McSpiff

You know yelling “BUT ITS OBVIOUS” doesn’t count as an argument right?

Well there are all those pesky facts I keep bringing up… Ohhh you know like:

1. The fence does not go directly to the border specifically so that trees and other things which would prevent the IDF from watching terrorist movements could be removed.

2. The Hezzies are actively hostile to Israel - as todays events clearly have shown - and as if you need any other history lesson. Israel has every reason to need to be able to keep tabs on those monsters.

3. In a routine event, clearing a tree, which the IDF told the UN forces about, the Lebanese opened fire.

4. A Lebanese Journalist was killed and another wounded. Why were the arab press (particularly one from al-akbahr, a hezzie paper there in the first place?) This is a little more evidence that the Hezzies seized the moment to take a provocative action and wanted photos and their own propaganda.

5. The Arabs opened fire and murdered an Israeli officer from across the border. Another is in critical condition. No doubt that is what they wanted for their press releases and home propaganda.

6. Israel returned fire and killed four of the bastards.

7. Almost immediately, the General of the Northern Israeli command mobilized his forces.

8. The Lebanese high command almost immediately began calling Israel asking that things not escalate. There was not so much posturing when they were calling Israel over this. The fact that Israel meant business this time made all the difference.

Remember that post on this very thread?

Or what about pointing out the failures of blue helmets around the world? Bang up job they did in Rwanda don’t you think?

Or the past failures of UNIFIL? You really want to debate that? I would love to.

Either, you can bring facts or stop whining like a sissy.
