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

While it is none of my business, I would really like to know what the Israeli strategy is for bombing and
hitting various targets - I would like their target list - LOL. Seriously does anyone have an overall picture
of their operations?
Stratfor projected yesterday two IDF incursions into S, Lebanon, one early to occupy and suppress missile launch baskets, and the second on a wider front to protect flanks.
Objective two will be to close off escape routes for their captured soldiers, and all along the way israel needs to keep a credible minimum force opposing Syrian troops aligned facing the Golan.
Targets of opportunity in Gaza continue to receive attention as well.
These objectives are open source, if you wish to analyze how you would support such operations using IAF assets privately, please do not post such...speculation...until you see it in an open source first.
I don't think it unsafe to say that there is a rhythm to these kinds of things, and that I don't expect significant deviation from standard military practices, at least not until Israels (alleged so far) 72 hour ultimatum to Syria, set to expire (if accurately reported) Monday evening/Tuesday morning EDT.
MSNBC just showed that injured bloody baby
That whole subject is a touchy situation....you dont even want Americans queueing in lines for busses for a ride to the airport or beach....
Any large group of Americans is a target.
Without a Dangerous and threatening Saddam, The Arab league CANNOT come to an agreement on what to do...
Even the Saudi's have condemned HEZ...
The BUSH DOCTRINE is working...
I just hope the Libs are too stupid to see it, and keep on keepin' on thru November....
There...fixed the biased and intentionally misleading statement.

Note to Spanish PM: Not if they're dead...
According to CNN, the IAF is coming under fire from Lebanese Army AA units. It sounds like Lebanon still hasn't gotten the message about disassociating themselves from Hez.

Rocket barrage hits Tiberias, lower Galilee; two killed, scores injured
Four Katyusha rockets landed in the Galilee resort city of Tiberias, located 35 kilometers (20 miles) from the Lebanese border, on Saturday. Additional rockets landed further east and north -- in Kfar Hitim, Evron, and Abu Snan. Channel Tiwo reported that more than 60 people suffered shock and three light injuries from shrapnel.
Rockets also landed Saturday in Carmiel, Hatzor Haglilit, Peki'in, Safed, Nahariya, and Moshav Ben-Ami, in the western Galilee.
Two rockets hit empty homes in Carmiel and Safed. Another landed near Carmiel College, causing a brushfire.
Friday a woman and her 5-year-old grandson were killed and four others were injured when a Katyusha rocket slammed into a home in Moshav Meron. They had come to Meron from Nahariya, hoping to reach a safer area.
Why aren't these technology application possibilities being utilized?
Or...am I watching too many movies lately?
Thousands of Iraqis demonstrated Saturday in the Shiite district of Sadr City in Baghdad and the southeastern cities of Kut and Amarah, praising the leaders of Hezbollah and denouncing Israel, and the United States, for Israeli attacks on Lebanon
And it looks like more than a few, particularly the Saudis, are aware of the threat Iran and her sock puppets represent to their regimes.
As always, it's useless to expect that these regimes would actually do something about Iran and her proxies, other than leaving the dirty work to Israel and the U.S., while condemning both.
Thanks deffie...you are great to provide that.
The Saudi foreign minister appeared to be leading a camp of ministers criticizing the guerrilla group's actions, calling them "unexpected, inappropriate and irresponsible acts."
"These acts will pull the whole region back to years ago, and we cannot simply accept them," Saudi al-Faisal told his counterparts.
Supporting his stance were representatives of Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Iraq, the Palestinian Authority, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, delegates said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks.
We do not have the capability of stopping short range missiles. The duration of flight is simply too short.
If they are lucky, the Patriot batteries will get some missiles if they are lobbed a long distance (like to Tel Aviv). But they probably will not vaporize the warhead and it will fall down someplace.
So far, all the reports concerning Israel's 72 hour deadline to Syria that I have seen have traced back to a single point source in one Arab publication.
Until I see independeant corroboration, I have to keep this in mind, but also attach a question mark to it. If accurate, I expect it to expire late Monday/early Tuesday on the NA east coast.
