Except for the FACT, that during this week, FOX has expanded its ratings lead over CNN and MSNBC.

okay....good. So I'll watch CNN since they actually are covering the NEWS...

And the ratings are not in yet for the past week, since the week hasn't ended yet...

Speaking of Fox...I was pretty disgusted this am with them. When the Sofalad called I flipped on TV and there was Cavuto babbling about the stocks. I flip to CNN and they're live in Israel and Lebanon.

I was screaming at FNC! Stocks? Now? What maroon decided that stocks were more important than covering all this live? I haven't had to watch CNN since I got cable! I almost threw up when I hit "select" for CNN on my remote!

ROFL! I remember when my nieces were little and re-watching the same movies over and over with them. THat's not something we ever did as kids although, of course, we didn't have VCR's and DVD players then either.

Or...

We are making sure the soldiers are released and fighting thugs for our land back.

How about, we were just puppets, we were wrong not to get rid of them... we were weak.

When Israel dropped the flyers to warn them... they should have put an out of the way phone number for them to call in info... if they had cells that worked or wifi laptops.

I know, silly idea.

Agreed, and the prime Hezbollah targets are in...channelizing territory, with...interesting...approaches from the right flank, and...interesting...enemy log centers and AR's very close by.

This could get...interesting...on the ground, in the early to mid-week timeframe.

Adding it all up, I still say the Axis has to go big, stay home, or risk a very bloody nose.

Chasing missile launchers with air alone isn't very effective, as we saw in ODS and currently.

However, we know that sufficient numbers on the ground were 100% effectrive in OIF, and expect additional confirmation of this principle in the 2 to 12 hour period.

Am I reading the Freepathon Score board correctly? Over 30,000 Freepers and only about 1,500 donated? Is this typical?

State Department To Grant $5 Million to Syrian Reform Projects
Grants administered through Middle East Partnership Initiative

The State Department’s Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI) announced February 17 that it will award $5 million in grants to Syrian reformers seeking to promote the rule of law, government accountability, free access to information, freedom of speech and free, fair elections.

"The people of Syria deserve the opportunity to build a better future and to live in freedom,” said the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Elizabeth Cheney.

Applications for grants may be submitted through the “Current Opportunities” section of the MEPI Web site. The Syria Democracy Program Announcement with further details is available on the State Department Web site.

Does. Not. Compute. In the article, one would assume normal Iraqis would be devastated that athletes and coaches, of whom they could be proud, are being killed and kidnapped for no reason. Then you see that Iraqis are out in numbers, protesting Israel's right to exist and praising the Hizbollah terrorists. The Arab Street doesn't get it yet.
