Post #263,582 by Simon_Jester 8/3/06 10:10:41 AM Reply	Air support != air attack and taking an airport (and holding it) is different that bombing it. And...for you information, I do *NOT* support my country's attacking of civilians. Although our marines are about to be blasted for killing civilians, I personally hold their leadership responsible for those actions. There's a difference between targetting civilians and invading. Your ground troops should've been in Lebanon a while ago.
Post #263,583 by bluke 8/3/06 10:13:43 AM Reply	What kind of air support can you give ... against people hiding in a civilian building? What about bombing rocket launchers? command posts? Do you really think Israel should have tried to capture Beirut airport? Do you think that is feasible?
Post #263,636 by Simon_Jester 8/3/06 1:51:59 PM Reply	Probably not.... I mean the US moved in on Grenada with overwhelming force, taking the airport and other items and getting their civilians out. I don't think Israel has the manpower, experience or will to do anything similar to take over a mere airport.
