This memory hole will give you a slight peek at how my language has improved -- hard as that is to believe.
Take a look at what Israel failed to accomplish in Lebanon.
Looks to me like they accomplished a lot -- the WAR CRIMINAL BASTARDS!!
"Beware the Siren Lebanon" by STEVEN ERLANGER
JERUSALEM
ARIEL SHARON wakes up from his long coma in a sweat and says he’s had a terrible nightmare. “What was it?” ask his aides. “I dreamed we were back in Lebanon.”
The bitter joke, which has been making the rounds here since the war against Hezbollah last summer, goes to the heart of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s broken career. For a quarter-century, Lebanon has been the graveyard of Israeli politicians reckless enough to venture there.
Not funny. If that happens, it fulfills prophecies.
And while Lebanon has been the "graveyard of Israeli politicians," it has also been the GRAVEYARD of INNOCENT LEBANESE!!!
Some, like Menachem Begin, never emerged again. That may be the fate of Mr. Olmert. A government commission issued a scathing first report last week on his leadership during the first five days of the war. A final segment, due some time this summer, may well urge him to resign. His foreign minister, Tzipi Livni, has already said he should.
He's still there one year later, isn't he, readers... remarkably with the same old talk surrounding him .
See why I see the AmeriKan MSM regurgitating and recycling crapola for consumption?
I'll believe Olmert's demise when it happens and not before.
Some politicians, like Mr. Sharon, managed to stagger out of Lebanon and eventually revive — despite, in his case, having been labeled by many a war criminal for not preventing or halting massacres of Palestinians by Israel’s Lebanese Christian allies.
Spooky choice of words, and HE IS a WAR CRIMINAL... PERIOD!!!!
When he did emerge, his famous impetuosity was seared away. In a sense, it was the nightmare of Lebanon that had taught Mr. Sharon patience and allowed him to become a statesman in his second career....
Yup, our war criminals can become "statesmen."
The "enemy" is always a "terrorist", always a "dictator," no matter what they actuallt do (or don't) -- unless we want to rehabilitate them.
Un-fucking-believable!!!
Chuck Freilich, formerly Israel’s deputy national security adviser and now at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government:
“Lebanon has significantly harmed or destroyed the political careers of nearly every Israeli politician that has touched it. The reason is not simply the nature of Lebanon, but the nature of Israeli decision-making in the last few decades, which has been shortsighted, focused on the immediate future and not part of a thought-out strategy.”
And that is what is important!; not Lebanese Israel massacred with chemical weapons and cluster bombs!!!!
But there is also a broader question of what might work in the specific conundrum of Lebanon. A sectarian patchwork of a state without a powerful central government or army, Lebanon has always been riven by religion and ethnicity and dominated by external forces like Syria or externally sponsored ones like Hezbollah and, before it, the Palestine Liberation Organization.
Yup, but ISRAEL'S INVASIONS have had nothing to do with it, right, you Zionist shit rag?!
In trying to attack its enemies within Lebanon, Israel has always come up against the difficulties of conventional warfare against nonstate actors taking refuge in a semi-state....
Yeah, poor little shit-stink state!!!
In 1982, Mr. Sharon, as defense minister, pressed Mr. Begin into a full-scale attack on the P.L.O. and Yasir Arafat, to deny them Lebanon as a theater of operations for attacks on Israel.
At first, the war went spectacularly well, and Mr. Arafat had to slink off to Tunis. But Mr. Sharon and Israel fell victim to the classic trap of assuming that Lebanon could be restructured to Israel’s liking....
Yeah, it was a TRAP!! The Lebanese TRAPPED ISRAEL into INVADING!!!
Is this fucking Zionist shit-spew getting to you, too?!?!
And does anybody see that as Israel is to Lebanon, the U.S. is to Iraq?!
Israel’s occupation lasted 18 years,
Let's hope the U.S. is the hell out of Iraq before 18 damn years have passed!
testimony to a continuing illusion of what it might be possible to accomplish, if only the Lebanese could be freed from outside pressures like Syria and Iran to follow their own self-interest. Of course, that never happened.
Un-fucking-real!! What a mountain of Zionist shit-spew!!
FUCK OFF, you god-damned Zionists! Un-fucking-real!!
Yup, "if only the Lebanese could be freed from outside pressures like Syria and Iran to follow their own self-interest," as Israel's MURDEROUS, WAR-CRIMINAL INVASIONS (that's plural shit-stick) "never happened."
Go suck on a cockshit popsicle, you fucking shit-stinking, shit-munching, shit-chewing, shit-spewing, Zionist shit-gargler!!!!!
So what made Mr. Olmert’s war so astonishing was... the Israeli decision to bomb all over Lebanon, and not just Hezbollah targets in the south....
Only astonishing that Israel commits MASS-MURDER to a fucking shit-stinking, shit-munching, shit-chewing, shit-spewing, Zionist shit-gargler!!!!!
Given his Lebanese trauma, most Israelis believe, Mr. Sharon would not have gone to war.
Yeah, the whole Lebanon thing such a TRAUMA for the poor fucking god-damned Zionists!!!!
And all the LEBANESE KIDS these fucking Zionist blood-suckers CLUSTER BOMBED and murdered?!?
What ABOUT THEM you fucking shit-stinking, shit-munching, shit-chewing, shit-spewing, Zionist shit-gargler??!!!!!
He would have responded, “but in a limited way, and in his own time, and in a way that would hurt the other side — Hezbollah — and not the Lebanese government,” said Shlomo Avineri, a political scientist at Hebrew University. Mr. Sharon used to say: “As far as action on the border with Lebanon goes: don’t do whatever doesn’t need to be done.”
So WHAT'S THAT MEAN?! More Mossad DIRTY SHIT?
The inexperienced, incurious Mr. Olmert “didn’t realize he was getting into a real war....
BUSH!! Two peas-in-a-pod!!!!
As damning, the report said... it was easy for Mr. Olmert to be seduced by the claim that “air power alone can do it.”
Shai Feldman, director of the Crown Center for Middle East studies at Brandeis University:
“That thesis fell on very receptive ears, and for good reason — because the civilian and military leadership were traumatized by the 18 years in Lebanon. The half-hearted war was precisely the heritage of the demons of Israel’s previous experiences in Lebanon.”
Good!!!! Glad Israel got its ASS KICKED by HEZBOLLAH!!
And the stoopid scum Zionists are about to make the same mistake all over again!!!
If they do, well, then, they will deserve to be SUNK into the SEA -- and I will CHEER IT all the way along, you fucking blood-sucking Zionist mass-murdering, shit-stinking, shit-munching, shit-chewing, shit-spewing, shit-gargling Nazis!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I would say my language has cleaned up over the past year.
I still swear and stuf, but I think the bald, unmitigated rage is gone.
I don't spew and spew anymore -- one good shit is as good as a dozen.
