Re: Israeli Premier and Saudi Said to Hold Secret Meeting

Has Hasan Nasrallah said one way or another about where the soldiers were captured?

Everything I've heard is non-committal, but it's nice of the Times to run it as fact.

This is how Stan Goff put it... bluntly:

âThe border of Southern Lebanon and Israel is a seamless web of intervisible Israeli outposts with night vision devices, tied together with ground surveillance radar, plowed-flat and raked daily to see footprints, and backed by quick reaction forces. Israelis routinely make incursive patrols into Lebanon. It is nearly impossible for an organized group of Hezbolla or anyone else to cross the border south, much less capture prisoners there. The very notion that this was an incursion INTO Israel is propped up solely by the credulity of the general public that knows nothing about military operations. In reality, the idea is as ludicrous as the Easter Bunny.â
