Thanks for the quote from Mookie. He needs to be eliminated. Like a lot of other vermin over there.

Yep, Frost's nothing but a has-been partisan and I really don't know why FNC bothers with him. Like the crack he made about the President riding his bike, that kind of belittling of POTUS is uncalled for.

Report claims Syria may face offensive

Big News Network
Saturday 15th July, 2006 (UPI)


Israel has given Syria 72 hours to release two captured soldiers or face a possible offensive, Al-Hayat, the London-based Arabic newspaper, reported.

The report said a senior Pentagon source warned that should the Arab world and international community fail in the efforts to convince Syria to pressure Hezbollah into releasing the soldiers and halt the current escalation, Israel may attack targets in the country, YNETnews.com said.

Al-Hayat quoted a source as saying that the U.S. cannot rule out the possibility of an Israeli strike in Syria.

The report comes despite the Bush administration's public call for Israel to refrain from military actions that could harm civilians.

I just turned on the radio channel that Hugh Hewitt is on...and there is a replay of a Laura Ingraham show...so I don't know.

Is anyone else hearing a LIVE Hugh Hewitt show?

UN resolutions mean absolutely nothing without repercussions. Of course when they have them and the US or a free country acts like we did in Iraq, we're made out to be the bad guys. It's a no win situation and the UN is useless, IMO.

Israel attacks Beirut, points near Syria

BEIRUT, Lebanon, July 15 (UPI) -- Israeli air strikes hit central Beirut and targets near Lebanon's border with Syria Saturday as Hezbollah forces escalated their rocket barrage into Israel.

The Israeli strikes also included attacks on Tripoli and the Christian cities of Amchit and Junieh, CNN said, citing Lebanese media.

Israeli warplanes also hit an area near the southern city of Tyre, where Hezbollah guerrillas were launching rockets at Israel, the Israel Defense Forces said.

Hezbollah rockets continued to stream into Israel, with officials warning that Tel Aviv could soon be hit.

At least 106 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in Lebanon in the four-day Israeli offensive, Lebanese police told CNN. At least 15 Israelis have been killed, four civilians and 11 soldiers, Israeli police said.

Residents on both sides of the Israel-Lebanon border are fleeing the area.

The fighting erupted Wednesday with a Hezbollah attack that led to the capture of two Israeli soldiers.
