Headlines : Civil LibertiesHezbollah 'can hit all of Israel'
Sheikh Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the current Secretary General of the Lebanese Islamist party Hezbollah, said his organization had weapons capable of reaching every corner of Israel. This rare interview with Nasrallah marks a year since the month-long war between Israel and Hezbollah freedom fighters.
What does this mean in the long term for the current state of the affairs in the Middle East? No peace; as long as one country, with full support from the U.S., imposes an illegal claim on territorial land of the Palestinian people, there will be no peace.

Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s leader, has said the movement’s missiles can reach any spot in Israel.
About 1,200 Lebanese and 157 Israelis were killed in fighting last year which began after Hezbollah fighters seized two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border raid in July.
Nasrallah, speaking to Al Jazeera’s Arabic channel, said: “In July and August [2006], there was no place in occupied Palestine which was out of the reach of the resistance missiles.

Nasr Allah says Occupied Palestine. Actually. So that headline isn’t him talkin.
I can understand that Qatar might have to watch out for some toes — but this is the G.
from the article:
Lebanese security and political sources said in May that Hezbollah had replenished its rocket arsenal and received improved anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles from Iran via Syria.

Russia rumored to be finalizing sale of 250 advanced Sukhoi-30 fighter jets to Iran.
If Russia really is throwing its weight behind Iran by agreeing to sell the Iranians large quantities of its very best military equipment, and Iran is then reselling that tech to allies in Lebanon and Syria, then U.S., Israeli & Saudi plans for regional domination are finished. Hello Shia Crescent.

Pardon me for laughing. First, there is nothing that the US and Israel would like more for these front-line countries to fight on the battlefield again. It has been a while and it would be fun. Second, the Russians would be glad to sell their inferior equipment to anyone who would buy it. The Russian arms industry is behind the times, cash poor and in desperate need of oil rich countries to hoodwink. And finally, this equipement is very inferior to US equipement. I can’t tell you why, do your own research.
The US Air Force is a paper tiger.
The only plane they have that uses the thrust vectoring tech that the su30 has is the F22 Raptor, which uses it for pitch only.
(the Flanker has pitch and yaw. Watch that youtube clip, it’ll blow your mind).
And the US don’t have many Raptors either.
The Indians have acquired a license to build their own Flankers and already have a shitload of them.
Kinda like how the Russians let them produce their own version of the Sunburn missile, the Brahmos.
And before you scoff at India remember the last war-games between them and the US.
Indian pilots in Russian planes won 90% of the engagements.
Pardon me for laughing........

Sometimes when we lose, they win.
Sometimes no Peace
Dosen’t India also fly U.S-made planes? The F-16, F-15 & F/A-18 maybe? I wonder if examples of the Flanker might get ‘passed on’ to the U.S, and the Falcons, Strike Eagles and Super Hornets get going the other way? India benefits all-round from the arms race, while Pakistan does its own little backroom deals…
