2. Please clarify this. Did Israel formally declare war or is this reporting
of Israel saying that the capture of its two soldiers is an "act of war"

The semantics are REALLY important here.

3. Israeli troops have entered Lebanon.
Story in the DU I/P forum. Other than that, I'd like some clarification, too.

4. Well, Israel has been biting at the chops to declare war on someone for
the last 5 years! Maybe, this is Plan B to get to Iran. Iran will come to the defense of Lebanon and then the US and Israel (war-mongers extraordinaire) can nuke most of the Middle East. Bush can then claim 'victory' on the war on terra!!

5. "act of war"
Means "war" is Israel's past. Its was "acts of war" against them that started the past few.
