"I watched in horror as this maniacal speech unfolded in which Nasrallah actually threatened the Israelis with releasing chemical gas from local factories on civilians in Haifa. Despite fighting them for all those years, he clearly does not understand the Israelis' psyche or the trauma of the Holocaust. A threat like that. The Israelis don't like being caught in a quagmire any more than the next person, which is why Nasrallah could get them to leave southern Lebanon. But his victory appears to have given him megalomania, and he has now gone too far.
Hizbullah's attacks on Israeli civilians are war crimes. The killing of the civilians in Haifa at the train station was a war crime. And threatening to release chemicals from factories on civilian populations is probably a war crime in itself, much less the doing of it.
Obviously, I do not accept that Hizbullah's actions justify the wholesale indiscriminate destruction and slaughter in which the Israelis have been engaged against the Lebanese in general. But they do have every right to defend themselves against Nasrallah and his mad bombers."

"It is a little window into the superficial, one-sided mind of the man, who has for six years been way out of his depth.
I come away from it shaken and trembling."
Horror and shock everywhere. Let's hope that the people in charge know what they're doing...

intentional irony, yes.
(speaking of irony, can anyone see any irony in this: "See the irony is that what they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this s--- and it's over,")
watching these guys reminds of watching a game of say, soccer, with an anxious ten-year old supporter: "why don't all the players just move forward and then kick the ball long???"
oldschool: somebody just go ahead and tell him that he's been the dupe for six years now and stop pretending to be in charge
like he'd listen or even care. a-heh heh heh. (who cares what you think?)
