Maybe some kind of suicide craft, maybe.

Maybe they won't move this one. I put the story with a link further up, post #28. Maybe mod can add it to the title of the thread.

This war is escalating madly. Scary times we live in, for sure

OMG. I can't believe this. Well, I can.

I have done nothing but watch the news and surf today. I went out to pick up my kids at summer camp and had tears in my eyes--people are so oblivious to the very, very serious things going on.

Four Israeli troops were missing after the warship was hit in an attack claimed by Hizbollah, Al Jazeera television said, as violence escalated between Israel and the guerrilla group



NOT good.

For those who worry obsessively about Muslim Holy days, it might be worth noting that this attack came on the Jewish Sabbath.

UN denounces Israel for moving out of the way, causing loss of innocent lives.

LOL! Literally. I was about to change my tagline in light of what's happening, and I probably will... but humor is one thing that will help the world get through this. And I pray it does (get through this).

I just thought it funny as hell that the terrorists screwed up royally, as they always do.

The terrorists don't give a rip who they kill. They'll kill themselves if it advances their sickening ideology.

I sure don't know. And someone on that (chat) thread is also insisting this isn't important news. Oh well, FR just ain't what it used to be, I guess.

Does anyone know offhand if the Syrians are Sunnis or not?

No, they're just a**holes.

Your post refers to another ship hit earlier..the Israeli one. The CNN Zahn breaking news story I just reported is a DIFFERENT incident.

The most likely answer is that the Egyptian boat was a commercial vessel stopped by the Israeli blockade of Lebanon. The Israeli ship was along side for boarding or to inform it of the blockade when the missle was shot off.

Just collateral damage to nutzbollah.

I'm guessing it is a North Korean-flagged vessel with Egyptian crew.
