You can hearing the low but insistent drone of the some left wing voices saying, "this is not our war,"" what's the big deal about a couple of captured (note captured, not kidnapped) soldiers?," and their new favorite word, "disproportionate."
The New York Jihad flood starts in Lebanon
It shocks me that only last month the barbarians arrested for planning to destroy the Holland Tunnel and Path trains in order to Katrina-ize Lower Manhattan - the economic capital of the world -- had connections to Hezbollah. Hezbollah is at war with America.
Operatives of the Lebanese Islamic terrorist organization Hezbollah, the same group presently firing missiles into Israel and labeled as one of the most dangerous Islamic terrorist group in the world, are believed "to be planning to activate sleeper cells located in New York and other larger cities inside the U.S." to stage attacks Americans. "The FBI and Justice Department have launched urgent new probes in New York and other cities targeting members of the Lebanese terror group." Law-enforcement and intelligence officials stated that "about a dozen hard-core supporters of Hezbollah have been identified in recent weeks as operating in the New York City area (alone)."

And lest we not forget the 241 Marines murdered by Hezbollah homicide bombers back on October 23, 1983. Hezbollah attacked America back then. Twenty years later their objective is the same but their organization has grown up. And even then we knew it was Iran.
"The resulting explosion was the largest non-nuclear explosion that had ever been detonated on the face of the Earth."
U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth on the bomb that killed the Marines
Lamberth ruled in May that Iran was responsible for the attack because of its support for Hezbollah. "It is beyond question that Hezbollah and its agents received massive material and technical support from the Iranian government," Lamberth wrote.
Listeing to the cacophony of voices today - one remark stuck in my mind. Netanyahu said we are the little Satan................you are the Great Satan. "You're big Satan. We're your little brother."
