What Bob will never admit, either, is that the UN people at that outpost
admitted that they saw Hezbollah firing rockets right next to their position. 
If they had an ounce of sense they would've gotten the hell out of there.  They
had to know that IDF forces would respond with force.

Everybody is damn worried about the Lebanese civilians, and I want to know why?
 They get advance notice of where Israel is going to attack, and then complain
when there are casualties among civilians.  In addition, its hard to feel sorry
for them when something like 70% of them support Hezbollah, even if they aren't
actually involved in the fighting.  Israel should start at the southern border
with boots on the ground and tank and close air support, and start marching
north and not stop until they reach the northern end of Lebanon.
