#1 Looks like someone's hit the Peretz tanker and its leaking liberal oil, everywhere. I don't think there's enough cat litter to clean up this spill, so the contamination of Israel continues.

#2 Taking care of one's allies is actually a good idea. It's not only good morally, it's enlightened self interest if one wants a chance at keeping a functioning network of agents in the area.

#3 Odysseus,

Do you really believe that Lebanon is an ally of Israel? Facts on the ground show otherwise.

#4 PR what does the sentence
"relatives of former members of an Israeli-allied militia" means to you?

#5 Poison Reverse, look up 'South Lebanon Army'.

Like I told my charges years ago, a little research on the situation does not hurt. Who knows? It might keep you from "posting stupid" again.

#6 Ford,

Yes, I understand. There are talking about the Christian militia that passed enemy intelligence over to the Mossad. What you don't understand is that, after Ehud Barak gave the Golan Heights in a ~~capitulation~~ land for peace deal, the "former-allied" ~~Christian~~ militia all moved to north Lebanon. The Christian militia felt abandoned by the Israeli government and felt it no longer safe to stay in South Lebanon.

How does the Israeli govt. know that they are former Israeli-allied militia? Do they have marks on their body to distinguish them or perhaps there is a Cray I database on every former Israeli-allied militia?

Maybe you want to do some research before you "post stupid."

#7 I sense testosterone levels rising...

Do we have a meter for that?

#8 "How does the Israeli govt. know that they are former Israeli-allied militia? Do they have marks on their body to distinguish them or perhaps there is a Cray I database on every former Israeli-allied militia?"

The very same way I or my men would know the native troops we trained. Connections, maintained contacts, double-source verification. Likely there is even a data-base somewhere in the depths of the IDF or the Mossad.

Some of the SLA turned themselves in to the Lebanese government. Others fled to Israel and then returned to Lebanon later. It is these, I suspect, that went back to Israel. It was not likely a free-for-all, as you imply.

And flyover, I am much too old for a display of testosterone. I must treasure the little I have left.
