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.
Scribe fits you, thanks for all the links...bookmarked for posterity.
Hey darlin! It does make a difference. I think we should all be very concerned about our troops and say some extra prayers for them tonight.
Best guesses say Israel has 200 warheads, estimates range from 150 to 400. My guess say mostly 100 to 450 kt designs, enough to take the heart of a city, probably not the outskirts via blast effect.
Nuclear weapons will only come into play if Israel is backed into a corner, unlikely at present, or if Iranian missiles open containment or storage areas at Dimona. That's probably not on the menu now, not for the next 24 to 48 hours at any rate.
Syria would have to make overt military moves, or upgrade the rhetoric indicating they are ready to fight before Israel will move on Syria. There are other, less likely scenarios.
After Israel hypothetically attacks Syria, Iran will take an indeterminate period of time to coordinate and execute any respoinse, with notable mouthpieces flapping all the while. They could go totally silent too, that would not be a good sign. Right now, vacuous Syrian and Iranian threats, "we will support..." , "evil Israelis", we promise a stinging response if..." are in effect good news.
Chills dowm my spine.
Julian Phillips won't be on? REALLY??? Where's he going???
I cannot stand that man--thank GOD he is going! F&F weekeneds have actually been tolerable since they put Juliet and what's his name on at noon and have others on on the weekend . . .
(dancing now--no more Julian!)
This is a great thread.
We did this the other day, put all breaking news and speculations on one thread.
Hope we do it again tomorrow or just keep this one going.
Hi friend...
Have you heard from your son today??
Dunno and don't care. He has lost his job as weekend anchor.
Haig on FNC:
"peace will be made when hezbollah is destroyed".
Most of us agree and know that those WMDs are probably about to show up - and what a terrible way to have to shut the liberal anti war idiots up
Point taken. Some Psych people may confirm this but it's said people change every 7 or so years. So who knows maybe Nic's time ran out and he reset.
I loved the two generals on H&C last night who looked ready to go take Hezbollah on themselves!
Our troops are prepared for this, as long as they are able to fight the way it should be done....
I must be weird. I like Julian.
I have a feeling that our Navy and Air Force (not so busy right now)...are probably positioning themselves right now..so they will be available when needed...
Hopefully THEY can get the attention away from the troops in Iraq..especially the Sunni Triangle.
