Hezbollah’s New Toys

One Wallace Shawn's dictum in Princess Bride — "Never fight a land war in Asia!" — leaves everything to chance when it comes to waging combat in the Middle East with the use of Asian ballistics. According to the Jerusalem Post,

Hizbullah has amassed an undisclosed number of Fatah-110 rockets, which could theoretically be fired at Tel Aviv, according to a report in Britain's Sunday Times. The projectile, an upgraded Chinese assault rocket, has a 500-lb warhead and a range of 200 kilometers.

And Nasrallah's goons have got deep bunkers for hiding out from Israeli aircraft should a third Lebanon War be in the offing. The open secret of the second, of course, was that a land war was precisely what was needed to rout Hezbollah. Olmert didn't want to risk more IDF lives than he thought was necessary, and so his approval rating is lower than Bush's, and Hezbollah digs further into the earth and infrastructure of an enfeebled Mideast democracy.
