Cairo, Egypt (AHN) - As President George W. Bush heads to the Middle East this week, an American warship crossed the Suez Canal on Sunday on its way to the Mediterranean Sea. The USS Cole had been in the Mediterranean in February to monitor the crisis in Lebanon and is returning after deadly clashes in the struggling nation left over 40 people dead.

The USS Cole.

If they send any threatening boats out, I think she deserves to blow them out of the water first in payback.

Hopefully a few of the crew members remember their last trip, and want some payback.

Hezbollah has no navy....

But there is some justice possible in this:  Hizbullah has been wiping the floor with the Al Qaeda affiliates in Lebanon connected to the Cole bombers.  The US-backed government of Lebanon issued a call for jihad to the Al Qaeda sympathizers in Lebanon believing they would help fight Hizbullah....some of them showed up, but Hizbullah crushed them within a matter of hours, and will probably continue to do so.

So yeah, at least the people who helped blow up the Cole are getting theirs in this conflict.  Too bad you want your guns pointed at the guys who are killing them.
"Human existence being an hallucination containing in itself the secondary hallucinations of day and night (the latter an insanitary condition of the atmosphere due to accretions of black air) it ill becomes any man of sense to be concerned at the illusory approach of the supreme hallucination known as death."

It is snowing in hell and I actually agree with SS on this one. Itchy trigger-fingers are not politically viable. Payback on the small scale can be very counterproductive on the large scale. Besides, payback has to be directed to the actual perpetrators.

They have suicide boats, though. And anti-ship missiles.

Hezbollah are terrorists too. If they want to kill our enemies, great, but we should still kill every last member, and sympathizer.

can we at least let them kill our other enemies first?  Let's save our ammo so DOD doesn't have to hold a bake sale for that new jet fighter.
