I think it's a start. Hezbollah started acting a bit legit by actually participating in elections. If they were to intigrate their people into the Lebanese army I think it would do more for the cause on both sides of the border.

I still don't agree with their basic philosophy but it sure don't hurt to be able to talk to someone at a table instead of across a battle line.

Have a good one!:thumbsup:

I agree with you on that one, the major concern and first thought that came to my mind was where their loyalties would lie

That's true, they'd be in perfect position for an over throw of the government but it has to start and hopefully stop somewhere.

I'll lay a bud out that says Rice made that suggestion so that Hezbollah troops begin wearing a frig'n uniform and are easier to target!

If you had 3.9 million plants growing...would it bother you if I ripped out 510 of them?

Considering the sheer amount of death that occurs on Earth each and every day...wtf are people making such a fuss about?

Israel got fuk'd with. They decided to not take that sort of shit anymore.

Who in the thread claimed Hezbollah is a by-product of Israel's occupation of southern Lebanon? lol...thats funny. I s'pose Israel went into southern Lebanon in 1982 for what...loks and bagels?

Get a clue folks...no seriously...go have a look at Hezbollah's flag and get a fukn clue.

And in war...if you're sleeping with the enemy...you're the enemy too.

I've had it with the 20 days of the one-sided whining for poor Lebanon. pfft!

They've a cancer in their nation...a malignant one at that!

Lets cut that malignant tumor off the ass of society...........

MILITARY APPLICATIONS

White phosphorus munitions are primarily used by the U.S. military to make smoke screens or mark targets as a signaling mechanism, but also as an incendiary weapon, the Pentagon said. It is not considered a chemical weapon under international conventions. It is a colorless or yellowish translucent wax-like substance that smells a bit like garlic. The substance ignites easily in air at temperatures of about 86 degrees F (30 C) and its fire can be difficult to extinguish. It commonly is dispersed by high-explosive munitions.

PENTAGON'S VIEW OF THE WEAPON

The Pentagon says white phosphorus is a conventional munition that is not outlawed or illegal or banned by any convention. It states that it is legal to fire these weapons at enemy fighters "out of military necessity and in accordance with the rules of proportionality." In the November 2004 Marine-led offensive in Falluja that involved fierce urban fighting, the Pentagon acknowledged using white phosphorus weapons against enemy fighters in a what they called a "shake-and-bake technique." Shells containing white phosphorous were fired at insurgents in foxholes or other covered positions to smoke them out and they were then hit with high-explosives artillery rounds.


INTERNATIONAL ACCORD

The Convention on the Prohibition of Use of Certain Conventional Weapons went into effect in 1983. Protocol III of the convention prohibits the use of incendiary weapons against civilians. The protocol also forbids their use against military targets within concentrations of civilians, except when the targets are clearly separated from civilians and "all feasible precautions" are taken to avoid civilian casualties. The United States is a party to the overall convention, but has not ratified the incendiary-weapons protocol.

Mate you are obiviously a right wing narq extremist - what are you a rascists sticking up for the criminals in Israel?:thumbsup:

I don't have any problem with white people, but I don't care for the KKK. I have no problem with Muslims, but I don't care for Hezbullah. Basically the same thing, except one group hates 'niggers' and the other group hates 'kikes'.

Not sure I ever understood the phosphorus weapons stuff. I guess they're saying it's better to be blown into small pieces by high explosives than be killed by phosphorus. Personally, I wouldn't want to die by *either* means; dead is dead. I guess they don't want to outlaw every means of killing people though, because then we'd be stuck with...peace.

Phosphorus is the new mustard gas.
