I harbor the same feelings about the WMD transfer....I have an open mind..Can't see Syria risk getting hit, though.

I always thought it went to Iran like in early 1991. I have an old IA around on that one, good poop, we even had makes and models for the trucks, plus destinations in Iran. Good stuff, I'll post it if things quiet down here later. If we could see that much back in 1991, when the DX2-66 was king of the desktop...

Fence sitting seems to be the order of the day. Everybody's doing it, Bush, Condi, the Lebanese Government, I bet the international financial transfers are bogging down the wires. Of course the usual suspects are firmly against Israel, Russia, France, etc.

Our friends in the ME have openly criticized Hizb, but internally they are keeping options open.

I expect the Left to get it's act together soon, and when that happens, one civilian with a hangnail will be a "massacre". At that point the Muslim steet becomes a factor, at the usual levels of significance.

One balancing datapoint, if Iran and Syria are in this with effect, SA, Kuwait, and Jordan really can't afford to switch sides on us, regardless of what they say publicly or privately.

More on that later...

Hang tough.

The last I heard, he was seen setting on a park bench with a brown paper bag and his laptop.

'Did anyone hear col. Hunt say that the President should come back home instead of being at the G8 summit? '

I wondered if he was concerned about the safety of the President. I will be glad when he is back on our soil, but face time with Putin and others may be very important.

I can't help but wonder how any one can really believe what Alan says - even him!

I don't think he believes some of it himself. His facial expressions betray him sometimes. Probably a good paying gig.

Okay, after listening to the shows tonight and the talking heads, I have a few questions.

1) What exactly is Israel "occupying," according to all the Arab-leaning spokespeople.

2) Did anybody besides me notice that whenever questions were ask, they all said about the same thing, that Israel was the agreesor, that Israel was occupying Palestinian lands, and that the only way it was going to stop was to have an INTERNATIONAL PEACE CONFERENCE?

***After I heard that, I started thinking that they have something else up their sleeve, like maybe they think a big world wide peace conference would get them what they haven't been able to get.

Next question:

3) Isn't Hamas in charge of Gaza now? Why are they all saying that Israel is occupying it? How can they blame Israel for THEIR lack of ability to govern their own territory?

I'm at a loss -- except to think that they aren't in touch with reality.

Hello,

Many times, it has been more than obvious that Alan is "talking the party line" (regardless of how stupid it is) and doesn't believe it at all.

Must be the pits to sell your soul for a paycheck and the possibility of getting invited to all the good parties in NY and DC.

Glad to be here, MOgirl

Didnt Alexander Haig claim he was acting President when Reagan was shot?

Yes he did. On camera Haig appeared to be very nervous and confused by all that was happening that day. I'm sure he knew that he wasn't in line to take over while RR was unable to carry out his duties, and I thought at the time that it was just of a result of all the confusion during that day's events, and certainly not an attempt by Haig to assume presidential authority. The media loved to make fun of Haig about his slip up, and they played and replayed the tape clip over and over even weeks afterward.

I was working in an office full of liberals at that time. We had a small TV turned on in the GM's office for the rest of the day after the shooting happened, and the libs were laughing and making fun of Haig's nervous appearance and his statement. I was just so glad and thankful to God that RR was alive and was going to make it through that I didn't much care what those other clowns thought was so funny.
