The Israel Defense Forces will intensify and broaden the scope of its raids into the Gaza Strip in the coming days, senior IDF sources told Haaretz on Sunday. The same sources said that Operation Summer Rains was likely to last two months, and during the cabinet meeting Sunday Prime Minister Ehud Olmert warned that this was a "war in which it is impossible to set time limits."

Excellent news! Do you have any need of the info I FReepmailed you?

I talked with a teen who had just gotten back last week and gave him that name, also - to use on the "tell-a-teen" phone tree for the 3 temples/synagogues near me.

Being a Saturday, natch, I could not raise anyone by phone at any of them. I hope it helps someone.

Maybe this?

The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the casbah way

As soon as the shareef was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare

As soon as the shareef was
Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed

Wouldn't Americans be safer going toward Israel? While we are on this subject, the silence from Jordan is deafening.

Sigh. I don't think Iraqis give a hoot about Democracy.



From where we sit in America- it may well look that way sometimes. We were talking about this earlier...the western mind..does not easily understand the middle eastern mind.

For us- the only thing we've ever known is a free society and an elected government. I can't imagine the way my mind would view "democracy" had we lived in a totalitarian country like Iraq has been for so many years, can you?

For now...freedom to an Iraqi is a very different concept than it is to us. The responsibility part will come with time.

I don't know if this is old news to the active ones on this thread but in this report from the JP:

IAF strikes Beirut proper

******************** AN EXCERPT ***********************************

Hizbullah leaders and operatives were also leaving Beirut on Saturday following a massive IAF strike on an 11-story building in south Beirut that served as the organization's command center, initial intelligence indicated. Channel 2 reported that the move appeared to be made under heavy security.

A senior IDF officer reported that as a result of a similar strike on the same building on Friday, a large building collapsed, blocking the entrance to a command bunker where Hizbullah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah was believed to be located, Army Radio reported.

Nasrallah Bugging Out?

***********************AN EXCERPT **************************************

The Jerusalem Post reports that Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah and his merry band of stalwart defenders of Lebanon have decided to get the hell out of Beirut after the Israelis flattened their offices there. The move follows Nasrallah's call for "open war", and an Israeli response by hitting the Lebanese city of Triploi, north of Beirut:

I don't expect them to get involved in this (if they can help it)... hope I'm right.
