The next Middle East war – Israel against genocidal Islamism – has begun. The first stage of the war started two weeks ago, with the Israeli incursion into Gaza in response to the kidnapping of an Israeli soldier and the ongoing shelling of Israeli towns and kibbutzim; now, with Hezbollah’s latest attack, the war has spread to southern Lebanon. Ultimately, though, Israel’s antagonists won’t be Hamas and Hezbollah but their patrons, Iran and Syria. The war will go on for months, perhaps several years. There may be lulls in the fighting, perhaps even temporary agreements and prisoner exchanges. But those periods of calm will be mere respites.
The Chief has always figured that there could be nothing as far as any lasting resolution of the Jihadistan Islamofiascist terror war is concerned as long as Hezbollah, and Ham-ass were going concerns in Paleswine and Lebanon.
Both are convenient front-men for Syria and Iran, who are truly part of the axis of evil (in spite of Bush’s neglect to include Syria in that initial list.
Here’s hoping that Israel takes names and kicks butt over there! If so it couldn’t happen to more deserving folks.
from the London Telegraph:
Israeli forces bombard Lebanon
Israel imposed a naval blockade on Lebanon, bombed its airports and threatened to sever the main road to Syria yesterday as fears grew that the military confrontation in Gaza and Lebanon could develop into a wider regional conflict.
Definitely no more Mr. Nice-guy!
Civilians fled on both sides of the Israeli-Lebanese border and the Hizbollah militia responded to Israel’s intense air and artillery bombardment with volleys of more than 80 rockets into northern Israel. Two rockets were said to have fallen as far south as the port city of Haifa for the first time.
What a concept. A nation is attacked across its border, and then acts forcefully to defend itself and its people. The Chief hopes someon in Washington is paying attention, and perhaps may even learn what to do.
