ABC NEWS

...is reporting that the Israelis bombed a bunker earlier that was supposed to have contained Hezbollah's leader. No word yet on whether the strike was a complete success or not, may he rest in pieces.

UPDATE: Ah. The JP has more on the elimination efforts.

And you know...honestly? It doesn't bother me one whit ~ the thought of these f*ckers looking up at the sky in terror and foreboding or shreiking at the weird noise from the closet at night. I really can sleep soundly knowing that ~ just for once ~ it's guys like us in the shadows.

UPDATE: Hmmm... It's been over 21 hours since I posted this and mighty quiet. Anyone heard from the fat little sheikh himself yet? Captain Ed offers a little gem about why verifying the casualties is a smidge difficult:

UPDATE II: One of the reasons given for the lack of confirmation at this point explains a lot about the war itself:

Hizbullah has a headquarters compound in Bourj al-Barajneh that is off limits to the Lebanese police and army, so security officials could not confirm the strike.
Got that? The Lebanese police and army are not allowed to enter onto its own land. That's not much of an excuse for a state, especially given that the land is in the capital city of Lebanon.
And people are questioning Israel's show of force?

UPDATE: Rats.
