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

I don't think Bolton would let Israel get thrown under the bus. He'd better not...

Bolton says they will turn to Iran after they deal with North Korean issues.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Good analysis.

[AliVeritas]

How many countries have Hez and Hamas run into so far?

[jeffers]

Well you know, those IAF guys are busy little beggars these last few days...

[Txsleuth]

Bolton wouldn't even take questions about Lebanon/Israel/Iran...because they hadn't discussed it yet..

He said this afternoon they will be discussing Iran..and then the situation in Lebanon.

I would look for another presser later.

[Arizona Carolyn]

My sentiments were expressed to my husband in pretty much those same words.

[Fitzcarraldo]

An Israel gunboat, and a Cambodian-registered ship carry a dozen Egyptian citizens.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Could it be because so many of us have tuned in to see what new, stupid, comment Alan Colmes would make on H&C?

[Arizona Carolyn]

Is it true Geraldo said he was heading to Lebanon Thursday night?

[Txsleuth]

Well, I couldn't find anyone in my house to go buy groceries for me...so I could stay here and post and watch TV...so, BBL.

I know I can count on this great group to keep up to date notes..

[sofaman]

thanks for that...appreciate the concern...

CNN just switched to one of their "canned" stories, MSNBC is still live and Fox seems to be doing normal Saturday stuff jumping between a lot of stories.

[sofaman]

nope, they really don't...that's why it's a mistake to think of these operations in terms of western moralities...

[Fitzcarraldo]

Here's the rabble any evacuee is going to have to face:

I hope the Israelis have a good plan to liberate that city, or else somebody else will.

[Arizona Carolyn]

so they can rattle on about rising oil prices to $100 a barrel or more and how it's causing stocks to plumet and maybe interest rates to rise more.... in otherwords scare investors into their predictions coming true.
