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.
Guess it's time to buy a moped, and paint it with IDF insignias.
The world's now at war, count on it.Not yet, but it is on the brink. The Israeli retaliations will be met with Arab League action and the usual round of lopsided UN resolutions and proposals. They will also be used as a pretext for starting the conventional phase of a premeditated war that is in fact already being waged. The Arabs / Moslems after all started the Arab-Israeli wars before the foundation of the modern state of Israel (and that's not counting the Arab atrocities against the ancient Hebrews).
Damn, Windcatcher, that's a scenario from hell.
Thank you. I lost your first post.
It's a replay of Brit -- but Israel is serious!
Wow - I hope the dropped some of those runway pennetrating bombs - those holes are hard to fill ...
ditto what you said!
In the United States, nothing is news if it happens after midnight ET unless it involves the death or impeachment of Bush.
Like everyone else, I too have a sinking feeling.
The world's now at war, count on it.
Sure looks that way.
Matthew 24:6... You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
Well it may as well be now before Iran actually fires up a nuke. If this goes the way I think it may then it will get dicey for us in Iraq but sometimes things have to take a different course.
Good Lord above...Dan Rather on CNn....Replay of Brit on Fox...and Overbite and Sen Barbara Boxorocks...incredible..
Mods must be having a tough time keeping up tonight, give them some thanks. Thank God FR is here to find out what is going on.

IAF fires 3 missiles on runway at Beirut international airport (Reuters)
Deja vu.
It is very difficult to taxi aircraft (military or civilian) over a wrecked runway.
Seen this one yet?
