H/T to Expose the Left for this recap of Friday’s O’Reilly Factor. Laura Ingraham was the substitute host and Juan Cole was on for the impact segment! She wiped the floor with him. BTW, I like Juan very much, so this was hard to watch for me!
Laura: Is it too little too late from Condoleeza Rice, is that what you’re saying?
Juan: I think it’s too little, and I think it’s evidence of passivity. I mean it’s just weak, you know, people are throwing bombs over there, people are dying. I mean the pictures are just sadness. Lebanon is just being torn to shreds, and the U.S., somehow …
Laura: …and why is it being torn to shreds?
Juan: It’s being torn to shreds because of Israeli bombs at this moment, and because the terrorists, Hezbollah, started this.
Laura: So, are you blaming Israel for this? This whole situation in the Middle East? I don’t think even the Arab League is even doing that.
Juan: I’m not blaming them; I don’t know why you would say that. What I am saying is that the United States, as the world’s Super Power, has a responsibility here not to simply stand by, you know, as if it’s some Super Power that’s distracted, maybe pre-occupied. Instead, get involved and start saving lives.
Laura: Here’s my question to you: If Hezbollah’s strength is seriously degraded, is that good for America and our security interests, or bad for America and our security interests?
Juan: It’s TERIFFIC for American security interests.
Laura: So, why on earth, Juan, would we tell Israel to stop, cease fire, because a cease-fire applies to whom? It really applies to Israel. It doesn’t apply to Hezbollah, they’re not listening to anybody.
Juan: What is going on in your head? Where are you? Have you noticed lately how many people who are dying? Both on the Israeli and the Lebanese sides.
Laura: War is hell, Juan… war is hell.
Juan: War is hell? Well let me tell you something. If it is your family, if it’s someone you cared about, if you were…
Laura: Israel is unified behind their response, Juan. Did you see what Israel’s people are saying? They have never been as united as they’ve been now since the Yom Kippur war.
Laura: Juan Williams advising President Bush – go:
Juan: Immediately begin diplomatic efforts… start talking… start…
Laura: What does that mean?
Juan: …start talking to the Arab states about them getting involved in Lebanon, and having them put the blanket on Hezbollah.
Laura: It’s called the U.N. temporary peace-keeping force that has been there and done nothing. I mean, is the U.N. a savior here? Has the U.N. done anything?
Juan: No, the U.N. hasn’t been able to do it. The Lebanese army is too weak to do it.
Laura: So, Egypt is going to do it for us?
Juan: No, well, you know what, you can have a group…
Laura: Israel is the only place, the only country that can clean this out, Juan. Who else is going to clean out Hezbollah?
Juan: You know what Israel can do? Israel can do exactly what you’re seeing being done; bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb. It’s not going to get rid of Hezbollah; it’s just going to, in fact, create more terrorists and possibly even reverberate here in this country by creating more terrorists who would come here to roost here in the U.S.!

It’s the old “children are dying” argument again. Well why are they dying? Because Hezbollah attacked Israel, then then they hide behind those children, THAT’S why! Call a spade a spade!
And yeah, war is hell. It isn’t nice. It isn’t good for flowers and animals and the environment either. But when someone declares war on you, you better kill them before they kill you. Anything else is insanity.

“Because Hezbollah attacked Israel, then they hide behind those children, THAT’S why!”
But Robert, WHY is there an environment in the region for a group like Hezbollah to exist in the first place?
Reactionary and extremist groups just don’t appear from nowhere, do they?
What is the reason for the existence of Hezbollah?

Extreme hatred. The same kind of hatred, but even more intense, that led Hitler to blame and kill Jews.
But does any of that matter when someone is pointing a gun at you? Is that the time to psychoanalyze the situation? First you neutralize the threat. Then you can afford to get intellectual.
The degenerate, evil skum that have fed hatred to their children for generations, that grow these “martyrs”/killers, have condemned their children to a very grim future indeed. Their blood and the blood of innocents is on the hand of these evil skum. It’s a shame, and war is hell, but appeasement doesn’t work with certain types, including these. They’ve signed their own death warrants. And the civilized world now needs to make sure it is so, or perish.
It really is that simple.
