In a daring operation backed by great intelligence, the Israeli Navy has captured an Iranian imperialist vessel on its way to Lebanon. This ship was transporting weapons to the militant radicals: from Iran. The Israelis caught this ship and sent the aggressors a message.
Hundreds of tons of weaponry, the largest arms seizure in Israel’s history, were intercepted overnight Tuesday in a daring raid by Israeli naval commandos aboard a cargo ship sailing 100 nautical miles west of Israel.
The arms shipment was 10 times the size of the cache found on the Palestinian arms ship Karine A in 2002.
The cache was hidden inside shipping containers belonging to the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL) which departed from the Badar Abbas Port in Iran some 10 days ago, were unloaded in the Egyptian port of Damietta and then loaded onto the Francop, a German vessel flying an Antiguan flag.
The operation had been in planning for several days and was dubbed “Four Species,” for the recent Succot holiday.
Read the rest.
I salute the Israelis and their resistance to colonial aggression. Hizb’Allah is a fanatical organization that occupies, and has a choke hold over the once free nation of Lebanon. Now it is just another colony for the Islamo-Imperialists. Israel is their target, so their seizing of the ship is an act of survival.

Wow teh Hezbos are being armed against the UN brokered agreement? Shocka! The next war with Hezbo and Hamas needs to be total war. Thak God that loser Olmert is gone.
Yanks winning 4-1 top of the 5th Mastsui all 4 runs driven in – 2 run homer and 2 run single. Phillie pitching sucks!
Howdy…have to read… Damn Yankees…
Interesting article. GO ISRAEL! Somebody’s got to do the right thing.
Great intelligence work by the Israelis by the way.
They had to be tipped off.
Hate the Phils for beating the Dodgers but I am a fan of anyone who plays the Yankees.
@ Speranza:
yes they really ahve improved their intelligence against Hizb’ALlh. In a rematch they will be better prepared this time. The Islamic Colonial expansion must be stopped.

That’s something the Buchananites and Paulians never talk about – that the Mossad is an enormous asset to the US and other western countries, because they have such effective operations in areas where we don’t; specifically in Iran. If we’re not using them to maximum advantage we’re fools, and if we’re going to stab them in the back with this “peace” charade, it’s potentially going to cost us.
@ snork:
Yup, they have shared information with the US many times. They even gave Russia some information on Chechen rebels back in the early 2000’s. They are cooperating with Serbia. They also helped Colombia pull off the raid into the FARC camp that had Bentacourt. SO they have assisted against resisting the Imperial-Progressive AXis.
Should have just sunk the ship and left. Do that a couple of times and you won’t be able to find ships or crews willing to run the shit no matter how big the payday is for the job.
Good evening, folks…
Howzabout them Yankees!? (not over yet but lookin’ gooooood!)
I’m enjoying the thought of how much money the Iranians/hezbollah just flushed down the toilet.
@ Iron Fist:
OMGponies!!!! that would release toxic chemicals into the Mediterranean, and might endanger the Mediterranean Polar Bear…
They need to do a big loud PR job on this right in the Security Councils duplicious face. They should load the containers onto a ZIM Line carrier and sail it right up the East River and unload it onto the back porch of the UN.
@ snork:
Because the Buchananites and Paulians are pure and simple Jew haters who wish that Hitler finished his work of extermination.
The Yankees are up 7-1!
Hideki Matsui is killing the Phillies. If they win because of him, how can they get rid of him. Damon also helped them win games this series, they really have a dilemma becasue they have to get rid of one of them.

@ Moe Katz:
I saw that a couple of days ago (that it was coming, anyway). I’m surprised. When you lose feedom on that scale there is usually no coming back from it. Japan might be the best example of this. They are still living under the same basic weapons laws as were laid down just before the Tokugawa Shogunate was founded. Say, roughly, 500 years ago.
I’d like to see our Republican Congresscritters grow a pair of testicles on the subject and get down to the business of supporting the Heller decision and getting rid of at least som of the most assinine firearms regulations. You’ve got too start somewhere. If nothing else, repudiate US v. Cruikshank. Quite simply, there are no political risks in America in taking an anti-Ku Klux Klan position. That it also happens to be a pro-Second Amendment position is just gravey…

It’s rural Canada that really hated the long-gun registry, so the conservatives stand to increase their rural support by killing it. It was also a huge waste of over a billion dollars over its 11 year existence. Some people in this country are actually beginning to recognize that we don’t have a gun problem, we have a gang problem.

He cannot be because he is a hard core Leftist. He is a man of principles except his principles are all wrong -every single one of them. The only thing that can reign him in (and ironically might save his presidency) is a replay of 1994. With a GOP congress he cannot ram through socialism and the fickle public might think he has matured and figure “Well we’ve got divided government and that is good so we will keep a GOP controlled House and maybe Senate and let Obama be reelected”.
@ calcajun:
Arnold has been quite the disappointment. It’d be interesting to ask him how he squared that bill with the 9th Circuit ruling that the Second Amendment (as an individual right) applies to the States through 14th Amendment incorporation. I’m not the brightest legal mind in the universe, but I’m not as dumb as Nancy Pelosie, and I can’t see how you do it.
That kind of bullshit is why ammo sales have been through the roof for the last year. I don’t expect that to slack off for the foreseable future, although productionb of some rounds appears to be beginning to keep up with demand.
