'Cept Fidel has 900 million dollars while his people starve
Yeah....some of our "little darlings" have decided they are so bored...that they want to make FAKE terrorist videos..with mock beheadings and such....
Aren't they cute?? /sarc
Heh! ewww....
He is sooo revolting. How weasley EVER made it as far as he did??? I have heard some of his former subordinates on talk radio and they couldn't stand the guy, had zero respect for him. He was a paper pushing, politician sucking, inept and inadeqaute not even rsing to the level of Buffoon.
I don't think we'll ever see Honore as a TV pundit...... LOL somehow I just don't think that is his cup of tea
Mr. Prairie is watching the country music shows at the moment. I'm actually glad, the news here is enough to absorb and try to not becomed overwhelmed with.
BiBi Nentanyahu was on Sean Hannity's talk radio show on Friday I believe...or Thursday..I can't remember..but, he is around..and I have a feeling he is contributing quite a bit to the war planning.

I haven't met one person in the military who liked the guy....he'd stab you in the back for a promotion...which he always seemed to get..
"But all things considered, if Hezbollah returns to its roots, it should return to its first operational model: hostages."
If Hezbollah takes American hostages, we will come in after them. Hezbollah will have declared war on us. The Israelis would be the least of their concerns. We would take apart Lebanon looking for them and will go into Syria as well if necessary without blinking an eye. This is not 1983. This is a new world. It would be the commission of mass suicide on the part of Hezbollah.
Of course that might be the price Iran would be willing to pay (sacrificing a pawn) to provoke an American-Israeli joint intervention into Lebanon and Syria if they thought the resulting regional war could destabilize the entire Mideast, bring extremists to power in far more significant areas than Gaza or South Lebanon, and unite the entire region behind Iranian leadership in fighting the "Crusaders" once again along the same Mediterranean shores where they fought eight centuries ago.
His war for Jerusalem has to be framed as a war on "Crusaders". And to fight the "Crusaders", you have to bring them to the fight.
And Stratfor misses the point. Hezbollah is not running this at all. It is Iran. Right now Tehran says "jump" and Nasrallah asks "how high"? This is not about Hezbollah reverting to its "tried and true" tactics. This is about Iran going "old school". They planned this, and they are provoking the apocalyptic conflict they seek. It is not rational. It is theological. It is not just a geopolitical or strategic military move on the Mideast chessboard. It is a "leap of faith". He believes not only that God is on his side, but that he has been chosen for a special mission by God. Such a man is extraordinarily dangerous - - particularly when just 12 months ago he began to fully command the largest terror apparatus and alliance the world has ever known.
It is not about Hezbollah going back to its roots. It is about revolutionary Iran going back to its origins. It is about a young college student who, with four others, masterminded the storming of the American Embassy in Tehran and took our citizens hostage for 444 days.
That young college student is now the President of Iran. And he believes he has been appointed by God to initiate the apocalypse (the "unveiling" of the hidden Imam) by a regional war involving America, Israel, and the possible mass use of WMD that would globalize the conflict and radicalize the Islamic world to the point where moderate regimes are overthrown and millions join in jihad instead of the mere tens of thousands that do so right now (there are not enough active jihadi fighters on the planet right now to fill more than a baseball stadium or two if you put them all together, but he will have an eager army of millions if he provokes a cataclysmic war).
That is what he is trying to do.
Ariel Sharon was NOT on Sean Hannity's radio talk show..he is still in a coma in rehab hosptital, I believe.
The whole Fox coverage on this has been dismal...totally inadequate. First the blonde bimbos that get the questions to ask relayed to them thru their earpiece...."Uh, Duh, do you think that the capture of the Israeli soldier was the turning point...and Iran may be involved in this, right?"
Then they put Weasely on.( his whining little boy blue voice is enough to make you want to just hit him)..Then they do a gig on Geraldo being threatened by the mob years ago.
I have found that I learn more news here on FR...than any of the cable news channels...except for Jennifer Griffin's reports.
Can't wait for Steve Harrigan to get there...he is the best.
LOL
I agree with you, but it's a very frightening image.
(Go Israel, Go! Slap Down Em Hezbullies!)
Grandson and I are watching Dumbo....while he's playing with his hotwheels cars I can get on FR and catch up...
