Israeli gunners cover their ears as an artillery piece fires into southern Lebanon from a position on the border near Kiryat Shmona, northern Israel, Friday, July 14, 2006.

I had a horrible moment last night when Barbara Boxer came out in total support of Israel...but she saved me. Then came out a load of pablum that made no sense at all...but for a moment it was really close..

True, this is no final solution, but for the Israelis, there are no final solutions.

The author probably could have found a better metaphor..

"Syria is in."

What kind of confirmation

There was the interview a couple of hours ago on Hardball with the Israeli and Syrian Ambassadors. It was pretty entertaining. They were in the same studio, but the Syrian Ambassador refused to sit in the same room with the Israeli. I have it taped and can load it for your viewing pleasure... just ask.

Minor silly point here....do we have to have blonde bimbos talking to military people on Fox?

[Ray66]

No worry they'll be safe.

[Chuck54]

:-) Sorry.

I was throwing things (soft) at the TV. I don't even know why in heck I was watching.

[SE Mom]

Exactly...am sure the Mods will accomodate.

FOX is covering now LIVE.

RE: Colmes "almost always" being on the wrong side . . . once in awhile I miss H&C to watch "Fashion Runway" or something else enlightening . . . LOL! Just in case on one of the shows I missed he made an actual valid point, I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Anyway, the kids had a good day at the county fair and I'm feeling generous to the lesser-brained among us. :-)

[Txsleuth]

I vote for that Syrian Ambassador to the new Baghdad Bob...he gets SO excitable..and no one can understand him...LOL

[StJacques]

"I'm worried if Syria and Iran jump in, they will target US troops in Iraq."

I would never wish for any scenario to unfold that puts the valiant men and women of our armed forces in danger, so please do not misunderstand what I am about to say.

If Syria and Iran come openly into conflict with the U.S. then the gloves come off. It will be the end for both of their regimes.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Isn't that the truth. I can not stand McCain, but he said what should be said.

[SE Mom]

HAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaa:) Whew...close call, eh? ;)

Enjoy your dinner!

[BigSkyFreeper]

Ok I'm going over to CNN to see what Anderson Cooper is wearing

Something effeminate.

[Txsleuth]

I THINK that is what this thread is supposed to be!

[Rodm]

Syria and Iran attacking the US. When we're talking battle field we are talking turkey shoot. We are battle their terror units now.

"Thank God for President Bush at this time in our lives. I firmly believe President Bush is meant to be here leading us with the angel in the whirlwind."


Hello,

Well said, thank you.

Glad to be here, MOgirl

[daybreakcoming]

OK cool. I'm switching back to FOX then. CNN Intl is interviewing Lebanese punks talking big talk. SPIT.

[SE Mom]

I imagine there are fast and furious briefings going on there day and night.

[A Citizen Reporter]

"Doubt it. They haven't heard my countless call for Vannity and Homely's swift termination."

Yes, but on the GOOD NEWS front. Tomorrow morning will be the first morning in literally YEARS, without Julian Phillips on F & F.

EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!
