$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'N')asrallah regrets war in hindsight

Hizbullah's secretary general said Sunday that had the resistance known, "even 1 percent," that Israel would respond in the way that it did to the July 12 capture of two Israeli soldiers, the group would not have carried out the operation.

Several similar incidents (soldiers captured/prisoners swaps) had happened before (between 2000 and 2006). There was no way they could predict that Israel would use that as an excuse to wage a total war this time around.

Some (eg, the war nerd) believe Hisballah lured Israel into waging the war by capturing the soldiers, as they knew they were ready to defeat them on the ground (which they did)---but I doubt that was the case.

I'm still struggling to understand how one could consider what Lebanon suffered a victory?

How many more victories like that do you want to endure?

Not to say that Israel accomplished much either, but they suffered negligible damage in the process.... And yes, I still have a really, really bad feeling about where this is going in the medium term.

Dang... I'm posting to Open again. Grrrrrr.

Question still stands though, how many more victories like that do you wish to participate in?

Its not a victory by any stretch of the argument.

But I do think that some Lebanese can take pride in the fact that about 3000 Hezbollah guerillas confronted 30,000 soldiers of the mighty IDF and held the field at the end of the day.

God damn that beautiful bastard. First they win the war, then they win the people. Not only is Hezbollah not responsible for all that damage but he is apologizing to the Lebanese people anyway on behalf of his adversary. That's class.

Hezbollah is the new flagbearer for every pissed-off arab in the Middle East. Learn to respect them.

1-Hisballah is not a division of the Iranian army. That's American propaganda.They have not fought a single war for Iran; every single time they fought a war against Israel, Israel invaded Lebanon first. They are a resistance army proptecting the sovereignity of the Lebanese territory.

2-Both Iranis and Arabs are mostly Muslim. All Muslims are considered a single nation in Islam.

Ask the Israelis. Ask all the analysts from both sides that have claimed so.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'H')ow many more victories like that do you want to endure?


That's irrelevant. They still won *this* war. Hisballah was not disarmed; there's no effective buffer zone protecting Israel. Those were their aims---by your own admission. Thus, they lost.

Moreover, we don't need another war. All we wanted in the first place was to get the prisoners back, to push Israel to negotiate about Shebaa Farms, and to keep Israel out of our territory for good. The UN resolution that Israel granted us covers all that.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'N')ot to say that Israel accomplished much either, but they suffered negligible damage in the process.... And yes, I still have a really, really bad feeling about where this is going in the medium term.


Negligible is a relative term, isn't it? Do you know how much money they lost by having Haifa frozen for 1 month, and in exchange of no political aims? Also, their political face has been damaged greatly both among their people and among the other governments of the world. By the end of the war, both Israel and the US had to put up with a resolution that contradicted every single thing that they wanted to achieve. That resolution was achieved thanks to the pressure of the Arab League that pressured France to confront the US. So by the end of the war you had France and the Arabs against Israel and the US was unable and probably unwilling to continue supporting Israel's failures.

As for the future, Hisballa's policy right now is to restrain itself until the international forces are in place. They won't fall prey to Israel's provocations, and they've been a few already. They want to show the world who is the real aggressor here. And if they don't atack Israel and the international forces are here, how is the IDF going to disarm Hisballah?

And if Hisballah doesn't atack them first, how will the IDF create a new excuse to atack Hisballah in the future when the international forces are observing their every move in Lebanon?

Oh please. You're the only person in the world that still believes this was about the 2 soldiers. That was an excuse that the IDF used to atack Lebanon because they knew Hisballah was much stronger politically and they were afraid Iran would atack them through Hisballah in the future.

It was a preemptive war by all means, and they failed.

Ummm, Miki, by Hezzb's own statements,they admit that they expended 50% of their military capacity; if we grant Israel a 10% piece; that leaves Hezzb with only 40% of its original pre-attack capacity, and a much more difficult resupply position. The loss of some heavy launchers was likely the most significant, long term result for Hezzb.

The most interesting remains the apparent actual deployment of Lebanese forces in the South.

Still doing a good job pushing terrorist propoganda I see.
So first they arent a part of the Iranian army, and then they are, they dont get weapons from Iran but then they do, they arent trained by them but then they are.

They receive funding from Iran, but they're not part of the Iranian army, just like Israel receives funding from the US and training on how to use US weapons. If you want to claim I said something and then denied it, you'd better show us the posts where I did. Otherwise, please keep your slander to yourself.

Not when they were annoying you too. Remember this has always been mutual. Israel refused to negotiate the prisoner issue peacefully and they continued to invade our country (air space) on an-going basis without any provocation, as repeatedly reported by the UN forces that have been here since 2000. The IDF made it a point to fly their planes over Lebanese sky and make noises to scare the tourists. Not to mentio that they kept harassing the Lebanese living in the border, telling them where they could fish in Lebanese waters.

Would you please provide us with a source showing that?

As for resupplying (heavy launchers included), they can easily do that whenever it becomes necessary. Who will stop them?

1-If Israel invaded/atacked again, the international forces would be gone in no time and the embargo would be over. If the embargo actually takes place, that is. You can do anything in Lebanon if you have enough money to pay for it, and "buying" a few people at the border/ports/airports (army personnel included) would be more than easy.

2-They always have time to resupply while the international forces get here, which will take several weeks, if not months.

3-The Syrian border won't have any forces, making it all the more easier to break the embargo.
