Andrea Mitchell: Bush's fault. Too occupied on Iraq to understand what is happinging in Israel....
I would posit that the actual facts of this story are being checked to make sure that what is being put forward here is actually factual. I saw the original report on Fox as well, and although it certainly could be a false alarm, I would think that this is being checked very carefully and definitively confirmed before being put to print.
It is a significant escalation if true, so it better be factual before it's put to print, IMO.
You confuse them doing nothing, with them publicly commiting themselves to do something.
It's been more than an hour. HotAir.com already has this as a dubious story...whereas CNN and foxnews.com refuse to post the story to their web site.
So yeah, you should be believing Southack instead of some one-time typo on a scrolling news ticker.
There's no source link for this thread. No confirmation of FoxNews' one-time claim.
They made a mistake. What's in question is the different amount of time that it will take various posters to figure out that turn of events.

It's pathetic to see how "small" hollywood has become.
Just wait about a week, then stand outside with a bucket, to catch the oil raining down as it re-condenses.
Mark Levin is talking to Sean Hannity about this on air right now.
Sean Hannity is now reporting on Mark Levin's show that he heard this on Israeli radio- according to Israeli Intel...one of the missles shot to Haifa was an Iranian missle- shot BY the Iranian Republican Guard.
Unni (sp?) on Hugh Hewitt's show just mentioned that Syria has no idea what they are in for
from foxnews dated june 3, 2005:

so it appears israel knew long ago the iranian guard was in lebanon..
"...*Iran's ability to attack Israel by ballistic missiles is not restricted to the capabilities of the Shihab-3. For many years Iran has boosted its indirect missile capacities against Israel through the Lebanese based Hizbullah terrorist organization. Iran has transferred (via Syria) hundreds of short-range Fajir rockets to the Hizbullah. These Rockets have a 40-50 km range. From Lebanon they threaten northern Israel including Haifa, a major sea port and industrial center.... "
LGF reporting that CNN has reported that at least one of the weapons was a long-range ballistic missile (not just a Katyusha rocket), fired by Iranian guards.
I suspect they are reporting news cast. Nothing of this specifity on the cnn website. Possible secondary confirmation of what was heard on Fox.
Get the transcript....from Hugh's show.
Bob Hope was a legend and breath of fresh air. Good quote, accurate too.
Geez what a bastard.
And consider this.
Look how fast it takes the UN Security Council to get their asses in gear and get their act together and bring a vote of condemnation on Israel for military action (within hours)....and what are we now, 10, 12 days out from the North Korean missile(s) action(s) two weeks ago which threatens a much wider population and war, and UN hems and haws and shuffles slowly to the diplomatic table.
This really shows the UN as a patethic SHAM who only go after who they choose to go after. Usually just two countries, Israel and the USA--and now stonewalling poor Japan, another pro US ally, too.
I'd believe the IDF before I'd believe Fox on this story:
"IDF officials said that the missile that was fired to Haifa on Thursday evening has the similar characteristics of the Katyusha rockets that were fired on city of Carmiel, and therefore it was fired by the Hizbullah."

A mistake or were told to hold off? That is why we are here on FR - to make sure we inform each other about these things. I believe she reported what she was told, and now for a reason we don't know they have decided to low profile it. But I am darn glad I heard it.
Hannity on Levin's radio now, says Hannity broke the story:
Israeli National Radio is reporting that Iranian National Guard (in Lebanon) fired missile.
This, then is a defacto attack of Iran on Israel.
