Hezbollah's Exploding Pagers

[GaryS]

It was both. The batteries were rigged with the explosive, but the pagers were set to be the detonators.

My money says it's not the pagers that were rigged, but the AA batteries they used...

And as always, a different take from the Babylon Bee.

"You have mailbomb!"

 

[YeshuaIsa53]

Unfortunately, they are convinced that God is on their side, and that they will, therefore, ultimately prevail...thus the bloodshed will continue.

It goes a lot deeper than this, of course. Do I believe God is on my side?

Maybe I am on God's, should you wish to call it a side. It is no longer "I"...

Read what happened on May 29, 1453. Constantine needed Rome to ward off the Muslims. Rome would not help unless Constantinople pledged homage to the Pope. The rest is history. Read "Constantine's Sword" if you wish. Thick book hard to put down. It's not about what one would think.

Wonder what would happen should everyone's phones and computers explode?

I saw one story that said many of the terrorists lost their "family jewels" from carrying the pagers in a front pocket.

The virgins are relieved to hear that.

The virgins are relieved to hear that.

As well as sheep and goats.

I agree with the point made earlier about how this approach could and probably will be used for terror in the near future.

I do not feel sorry for the Hezbollahians that were injured. I do feel sorry for the innocent people whom were hurt.

It is true that this conflict has been going on forever and will not cede over time. These enemy combatants understand only one language force. Israel is acutely aware of what they respond to and have no option but to respond as needed or face annihilation.

The Western world better wake up. I fear that 9/11 is going to pale in comparison to the next assault.

^^^^^This. Yet many are still stuck in their long slumber.

If it were the batteries, would they not have exploded as soon as the pagers were turned on? Why not until signaled?

They are feeding alka seltzer to the pigeons

If I were Hezbollah or Hamas now, I'd be afraid to brush my teeth!

That was baa-aad. Joe

I've heard tin cans and string are now in great demand in Lebanon.

Couldn't that string be replaced with det cord?

Excellent point, well-stated. And yet...

We have flag-waving, patriotic Americans on this Forum who boast of their distrust of our own government, and their lack of faith in the very same agencies that have, thus far, successfully prevented another 9/11 for 23 years...
