Of course, you didn't bother to say what he actually meant by that.

Negative innuendo is what you do best, rc.

Watch what he does. And learn.

I'm with ya on that. I would never be able to survive living next to one. Guess if you were raised with it then it's not so bad.

I like Anderson's style of reporting. He's kind of laid-back and usually keeps any personal bias out of the story (in other words doesn't try to make himself part of the story)..

DANG...Nightline is doing this story...and they must be good friends with the Hezbollah..because the just showed footage of the actual drone taking off..and hitting the Israelis ship..

Also..they are starting every sentence with "The Israelis hit this..."

They are definitely telling this from the Lebanon perspective..which wouldn't be so bad, if it didn't include any of the Hezbollah..and didn't show the interviews with people that want Israel GONE.

Good evening.
"...if Israel attacks Syria, they'll have declared war on the whole muzzie world."

Does anyone have any intel on the mood of Iraqis or the readiness of our war fighters there?

We have several divisions of experienced troops who are in position to respond to just about anything in the region and who are, hopefully, ready for anything.

We have needed to bring Syria down for some time. Maybe this is the time.

Unfortunately, you're right about that.

He concerns himself with what the right thing to DO is, when the media and sometimes the American people focus on what it LOOKS like he's doing.

Sometimes being a Rebel in Chief has its drawbacks.

Syria needs to be abolished as a nation and partitioned among its neighbors. That would be a good lesson to the likes of Iran.

Logged on at post 200 and somethng, and just now caught up.

This thread is moving.

I'm on dial-up, willing to D/L maps and useful graphics, megabyte humor is somewhat counter-productive though.

I'd like to see any updates sourced and linked if possible, and also to remind everyone that early reports are often wrong. Three unconnected point sources (you have to trace reports back to make sure) are what I need before I will srtate something un-equivacobly, otherwise it gets either a disclaimer or an attribution, as in "Joe Blow says..." So far, no issues with the posts in this thread, it's working well as a clearinghouse for information.

Like a Hurricane thread, this will go on for days, so plan accordingly. Best guess sees limited troop movements as soon as Israel can get warm bodies into the rocket launch zones, with a major offensive in 24 to 48 hours.

Syria commits suicide if they move militarily, air or ground before the IDF is fully occupied, and even then Syrian military success is a longshot without significant external intervention (Iran). Same goes for Iran. If those two planned this, they will play us along until their predetermined conditions for a general attack are met.

If Hezb and Hamas went off the reservation on their own with all this, then Syria will react to unacceptable Israeli activity before committing militarily, Iran 2 to 24 hours later.

Jordan and SA should stay out, excerpt verbally, for internal consumption mostly. Turkey? Unlikely.

More on options open to Iran later, as time permits.

That's how Syria came into being - Europeans tore apart the region and gave it to various groups to run as nations. Give it all to Turkey and let them have a crack at it.

It's sad, but Clinton News Network (CNN) is whooping Fox's tail on coverage of the war. I've been watching, sadly - with no choice but to, for hours.

Very good explanation.

The Left and people calling themselves Palestinians are determined to void the only deed recorded in the Bible - that of Israel to the Jews. They want to rewrite history.

A young woman we know was watching someone claiming that Israel stole the land from the Palis. This young woman looked up, asked, "where are the artifacts? Whenever archeologist's dig anything up over there, they're Jewish artifacts. If Jews did not live there in the past, they would not be finding centuries old artifacts, would they?"

Out of the mouths of babes.
