I thought this could be a new thread for today. BurbankKarl's thread did well yesterday.
fascinating, isn't it?
I pray you aren't right...and continue to pray for all of the kidnapped soldiers.
last hour and a half, more or less of headlines at Haaretz headline tracker:

(this is about the only way I can keep up with events...between watching the hostilities and tracking the wildfires....)
Prayers, good vibes, Godspeed, best wishes, good luck, etc. to your son, Alouette's daughter and family, Patrick, RebelYell, and any other FRiends over there.
Sorry, don't know if it's worth the right click, funny moustaches.
You know the Head wrestling coach was snatched in Iraq and now the Iraqi Head of the Olympic Comm. was snatched.
They've been showing their asses over Hez as well by a parade of sorts... of support.
No, I can't imagine doing things like that, but I know terrorists as well as drug dealers and other general low-lifes don't care about young children/babies and whether they live or die.
Post of the beast?
I want to see pictures of Israel today... since it's the sabbath. Just like the grandma and daughter they killed readying for it. You will not see that.
From the BBC:
Defence Secretary Des Browne has given orders for HMS Illustrious and HMS Bulwark to "make ready" for operations off Lebanon. The pair will depart as soon as necessary, possibly within 24 hours.
No order for evacuating UK citizens has yet been given, but ministers and defence staff are considering a plan to evacuate those trapped in Lebanon.
It comes as Israel has stepped up its strikes in Lebanon after Hezbollah militants seized two Israeli soldiers.
HMS Illustrious is currently in Gibraltar and HMS Bullwark is close to Spain.
The decision whether to proceed with an evacuation plan has not yet been taken and no orders have been given.
The Foreign Office has urged British citizens to keep a low profile and warned against travelling there.
Meetings on the evacuation plan are taking place at the Ministry of Defence.
An MoD spokeswoman said the two ships had been given "no specific tasking", but added: "As you would expect we are monitoring the situation closely and are engaging in prudent contingency planning."
"As part of this HMS Illustrious and HMS Bulwark will shortly head towards the region," she said.
No problem it's hard to keep up with all that is going on over there without a score card.
I thought you were around there. I just thought all the recent activity meant, "See we are using this base a lot. So, no, San Diego, you cannot use it as a civilian airport!"
OT: Bolton on FNC now live. UN has passed a resolution with regard to North Korea.
well, there used be 20000 didnt there? I guess estimates of rogue elements aren't too accurate.
Not a CNN fan by any means, but so far they have done a pretty good job covering this. I think it was MSNBC I saw showing arab video of dead bodies wrapped in plastic wrappers this morning. They seem to be the station that has sunk to some of the greatest lows, Fox is only covering the bare essentials (so far) of this war -- which is disappointing. They don't seem to be placing as much importance on this as we at FR are.
BTT.
Freep Mail me what he said.
Hope we didn't throw Israel to the wolves to get it. Providing, of course, that this resolution was worth getting in the first place...
How come the last two years of giving up land only to be rocketed hasn't come up? As well the two soldiers?
Cease fire is BS. They'd better cut of that nuke help package from the end of June from the UN also.
These people lie and kill... nothing else. You cannot talk to them... only appease for a while.
If anyone has eyes to see... Israel is truly G-ds people.
Anyone with ears and eyes can tell that... common sense dictates that none of what the enemy does is human or normal... even if their own die. That's evil.
You could keep going.. there is Tom Hayden and the Chicago Seven -- just heard Hayden condeming our government the other day and one of the attorneys from the Chicago Seven was discussed on the O'Reilly radio show as being the person who started an organization that is basically working to take away a lot of our civil rights -- yet it's called Constitutional something or other...
