The Washington Post Reveals Locations of Hezbollah Bunkers

The Washington Post has published maps indicating the locations of Hezbollah bunkers in southern Lebanon (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/world/Israeli-military-information-on-Hezbollah.html). Why did the Israeli army provide these maps to The Washington Post? Answer: In my opinion, Israel is placing Hezbollah on notice that this costly military infrastructure, financed by Iran, will disappear within less than an hour if they should decide to fire a Scud at Israel.

Now, kindly recall that Roger Cohen sought to equate Hezbollah with the ultra-Orthodox Israeli political party, Shas, in his March 28 op-ed, "Arabs Will Be Free" (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/29/opinion/29iht-edcohen29.html?partner=rssnyt&emc=rss):

"Hezbollah is a political party with a militia. That’s a big problem. Israel’s ultra-Orthodox Shas party has an outsized influence over Israel because of coalition politics. That’s a problem."

How interesting: Hezbollah is a "problem" and Shas is also a "problem". And just to demonstrate to you how much of a problem Shas poses to Israeli democracy, I am showing you below, for the first time, a map of Shas bunkers located throughout Israel:





Where's the map? Sorry, there is no map, and there are no Shas bunkers. There is not even a Shas militia.

Nice try, Roger.
