Will they make up their minds?

First it was no end to blockade until Hizbullah disarmed (which was a good move).

Then it was, no blockade at all unconditionally (which was bad).

Now it's naval but not air (which is fairly bad).

Next week it will be only blue ships but not red ones.

    is iran shipping weapons to hizballah via sea now?

    They'll do it any way they can. If by sea is all that's available that's how they'll do it.

    The most obvious user of sea would though be Syria as they have a Med coast.

    oh, i know! the naval blockade's probably just to create 'pressure for hizballah to disarm' via starving lebanese children

    Resorting to emotive imagery to prop up weak arguments - as ever

    dennis when's your next trip to israel?

    Nothing planned as of right now

    d'oh!...i'm criticizing israel...must be an anti-semite!

    Criticism of Israel does not automatically imply anti-semitism, but the general disparaging tone of your comment does suggest it
