I thought this could be a new thread for today. BurbankKarl's thread did well yesterday.

That is reassuring isn't it??

I try not to "fear" Muslims when I see them...but, I have to admit to being nervous...even in the grocery store, when the women come in, with the veils and long drapey clothes.

It's Rick ??? the minister from California who wrote the book the girl who's apartment the murderer of the judge in Georgia broke into last year. Now, you are probably really confused. Graham was there a week or so ago, not sure why so many ministers are going to NK all of a sudden.

The instant minoota the Hez sleeper cells go to work over here, Iran sacrifices its atomic program. Period. Dinner Jacket has absolutely no idea of the unshirted hell that is being planned for him by us and the Israeli Air Force. 509th Composite Group alone will do most of the big time damage, along with IAF's Unit 69, but I strongly suspect that there's additional stuff being worked on for Iran's underground installations that no one's even mentioning.

I have a huge problem believing that the Hez would try to drag us into the war, unless Dinner Jacket wants his entire atomic investment flushed down the crapper. But hey, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, and then Adolf declared war on the U.S. when he didn't have to. If Dinner Jacket thinks that we're shiftless and weak like Goering did, God knows what he's capable of doing! Go figure.

Be Seeing You,

What was said on Fox about the evacuation?

[Txsleuth]

Goodnight, SE Mom...get some rest...you have been working hard today.

[ohioWfan]

THERE you go! LOL!

Yes, but the problem is, that we are not cleared to go into Syria. The other countries are. So we have to take our people right through the middle of the free fire zone. Tricky. People will go ballistic if our citizens get killed in our custody, by trying to get them out. Most likely Israel is trying to bomb around the Americans that are there.Thus the registration.

I don't scare that easily....I watch them very carefully, but cowards don't scare me.

I'm thinking that we're not in too much of a rush right now because they are expecting this to wind down shortly.

After seeing the quote from the Israeli government encouraging Lebanon to deploy their armed forces on the border to keep hezbollah off of the border I'm thinking that Israel is looking for a cease fire if certain conditions are met.

It remains to be seen if Lebanon actually is capable of keeping the militants back and can get them to stop firing on Israel. If this 'possibility' doesn't pan out, I'd say that Israel may go ahead and commit their ground attack. At that point, we would be really scrambling to get out the U.S. citizens who want to leave.

I once had a beautiful Siberian Huskie.

She was silver, grey, white, black, and the owner of impossibly steel blue eyes.

I would never consider owning such a wonderful critter again.

Such a gentle (to humans) intelligent beast should not ever be caged or tied down.

ROLF!! Beerman to the rescue .. that always cracks me up.

I like Dennis Ross and Mark Ginsberg. Do not always agree with them when they inject opinions (especially Ginsberg-he is a major liberal or so I read), but they are very good at explaining these situations.

Watching the 2 of them, I cannot even imagine Joe WIlson in that role.

thanks

Looterman!! We have missed you!

John Kasic has on a converted Islamic terrorist tonight, the guy said he was raised that way and it was some Christian evangelists that he met on the streets of Lebanon that turned him around.

Kasic asked him about how many moderate Islamists they have that can stop this madness and turn the tide back, he said it's too late. That they have educated an entire generation to hate Israel and the USA.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

That is an interesting and scary scenario.

If something like that happened, who would take control of the situation? FBI?
