Reports coming in about IAF striking Beruit airport, if this is confirmed this is another sizable escalation. I think this article ought to be pinned.
The timing of everything has me concerned about our own homeland also. So many areas of the world are a distraction right now - what better time to hit the Super Power who is also Israel's strongest ally. Not being an alarmist but an "on guard" is a must.
I guess Beirut is reaping what they have sown by allowing Hizbollah to continue to using southern lebannon as their base of operations.
Weddings, no doubt.
With all due respect, what new and improved Iraqi Army? They can barely take care of themselves in Baghdad and you have them rushing to Damascus?
War on multiple fronts is a very serious prospect, especially when the number of fronts in this age of technological warfare...
We have a satellite that picks up middle east tv. Right now I'm watching news in a foreign language (that I don't understand) that is apparently live coverage. News guy standing there talking now with the city (don't know which one) behind him. I don't see smoke but will let you know if I do!
Worked? Why? No one else did.
How will Iran attack Israel?
I dig at Dubya very regularly on a certain couple of issues. On this matter, I believe and trust him to do the right thing.
I forgot.
Well, they'll need an airport a tad closer to Tehran.
Their lost will be avenged!

I hear ya. Up the terror threat level.
IMHO, China would not act until we were wholly engaged/committed in both places.
In my books, we get drawn into fighting Iran and then N. Korea goes south. As we try and respond to that, and in the midst of the PRC playing like they are mediating, our expeditionary force en route to S. Korea gets weigh-laid, and then China goes after Taiwan and further points in the Western Pacific.
In the mid 60s, the central laboratory headed by Avraham Makov, was focusing on the development and manufacture of a bomb whose purpose would be to disrupt enemy airfields runways.
The anti-runway bomb is assembled under a fighter's wing, as any regular bomb, and released at 100m flight altitude. Few seconds later, a parachute opens, breaking its descent, steering it at a 60 degree angle, with its nose pointed towards the ground. At that precise moment, a rocket attached to it, propels the bomb's warhead into its target (the runway), penetrating and piercing through its concrete layer.
After a 6 second delay, the warhead is detonated, creating a 5 m wide by 1.6 m deep hole in the runway, preventing its operational status.
The anti-runway bomb received high profile media coverage at the end of the Six Day War (1967), mainly due to its important role in achieving air-superiority by the Israeli air force at the start, and in the early stages of the war.
The development of that bomb was completed a few months before the Six Day War (1967). During 1966, 187 bombs of the smaller type and 66 of the larger type were delivered.
The Israeli air force had an inventory of approximately 200 anti-runway bombs as the war started, and made a lightening and very effective use of them.
Weight: 70 kg.
Warhead weight: 43.5 kg
Length and Diameter: 1.58 x 0.18 respectively
WHERE IS THE FREAKIN U.S. MEDIA. THIS IS A DISGRACE.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Does anyone know if the first kidnapped soldier is still missing?
I agree with your assessment. China is the wild card. They've gotten themselves in a poker game w/ W and it remains to be seen how far they are willing to take this lame hand. They ain't holding the cards. I say they fold as soon as the IAF takes out Assad.
