This is the guy who recently dedicated an entire show to bashing Republicans in the House for having the nerve to suggest that we crack down on illegal aliens. Beyond that, I don't know his politics, but with a name that sounds French, I have a pretty good guess.

Now that's very interesting. I missed that show but have read two of his books. Yes he has French parentage. On one of his shows he was shooting off automatic weapons in Vietnam.

In his book he did make a good case for the illegal alien Mexicans/Hispanics who man the trenches in NYC restaurants and are very good loyal reliable workers there. My opinion on Illegals is 180 degrees opposite

By Associated Press

JERUSALEM - A missile fired by Hezbollah, not an unmanned drone laden with explosives, damaged an Israeli warship off Lebanon, the army said Saturday. Iranian troops helped fire the missile, a senior intelligence official said."

The Bush administration should stop repeating that it is fighting the war on terror for truth, justice and the American way. Instead, the president and his staff should be blunt and explain that, since September 11, 2001, it has had to choose between options that are bad or far worse. By all means, the administration should invite critics to suggest constructive alternatives to the way it has handled this war. But it should also point out that those who have honed in on flaws in current U.S. antiterror policies have so far been bereft of other workable ideas. Take the...

I feel horrible for the people of Lebanon who just a short time ago tried to get out from under Syrias influence.

That is one of the real tragedies of this war. Just a few short months ago, there was so much joy and exuberance.

Hi, proud. You're right not to frighten your daughter; check in here for updates.

Hi, Peach. :) Nice to "see" you again. :)

Prayers to you and yours, here on the apparent brink of WWIII.

What astonishes me is how oblivious so many people are. It's sad in a way, but it also makes me feel so much love for humanity. I suppose I'm not making any sense. :) But I pray the world gets through this.

Okay, I have to go pick up my son from his sleepover. :) I'll check in later.

"...The intelligence official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the information, said about 100 Iranian soldiers are in Lebanon and helped fire the Iranian-made, radar-guided C-102 at the ship late Friday..."

I have often thought to myself that no one else could be a Wolf Blitzer except Wolf Blitzer.

We heard it on al Jazeera. They said the Israelis are bombing military bases in Syria.

Not a credible source - we're looking for confirmation elsewhere.

We're hearing four stikes in Syria from the al Jazeera reporter there. They're saying Iran is furious and is going to send troops.

Again, they are not considered a credible source, but we're trying to check it out.

Depends on what they mean by "Syria".
