ISRAEL MOVES INTO LEBANON

Israeli soldiers have been killed in an attack by the Lebaneze Hizbollah movement. Israel has retaliated in southern Lebanon with tanks, plans and artillery. Reservists have been called up.

Two israeli soldiers were captured at border posts by the Lebanese Hizbollah guerrilla. At the attack, at least 3 Israeli soldiers were killed.

This was according to a TV station belonging to the Hizbollah movement in Lebanon, according to Reuters. A representative for Hizbollah said in the TV report that they wanted to exchange Israeli prisoners for their own in Israeli jail.

The Israeli defense department has acknowledged that 2 soldiers are missing.

Israel's PM Ehud Olmert called the Hizbollah attack "an act of war" and now Israel can start military operations against Lebanon in order to defend itself.

1. So we go from buzzing the homes of leaders

to all out warfare? I was told little things never lead to war, wish that was true.

2. Has World War III started yet?

It seems that way sometimes.

3. Now

Will this have any affect on US troops in Iraq, after all Chimpy said that the US would defend Israel!

Imagine this little scenario: US miltary units deploy to Iraq, those that are being replaced will then be free to deploy to Israel. When the next deployment takes place those that are in Israel will
go home, only to look forward to deploying back to Iraq, becoming part of the biggest "circle jerk" in the history of the world.
