You're right! Thanks for that, now I can watch AND listen to him!
I would think that some of the Israeli authorities are irked that some of the citizens are not staying in their safe rooms when they should. The video has been showing a few residents coming out to gawk at damage after the missile hits. If any get tipped with chemicals, that would be a very bad idea. The locals need to stay indoors when the authorities say so.
Remember, a Hamas faction in Gaza claimed to fire the first chemical tipped Qassam into the Negev a week or two ago (right before this all got escalated with the Hezbollah kidnapping)
"where Israeli bombing has killed around 100 civilians since Hizbollah captured two Israeli soldiers"
My question always is: Just who is it that determines these are "civilians"? Israel does not target real civilians.
Iran will cease to exist if they strike Israel directly. And they know it.
Well, this tactic under the circumstances should be expected.
The SS guards at the death camps tried to melt into the liberated populaton and the german soldiers did the same during the fall of Berlin.
It's just self-preservation.
God forbid this country is ever occupying by a conquering army, you and i would do the same....therefore I don't fault them for the deed or call them "cowards".
Yeah, they get paid for missing work or lost inventory.
I'm good, thanks. Glad to hear you're at work--keep busy!
Uh, no. Well, they might *now.* LOL
just checking ;-)
Good point. Not regimes perhaps, but stature and gravitas.
hard to concentrate...
They, meaning BOTH, will cease to exist if WMD involved
LOL! :)
Oh, I thought shrapnel was what Cheney's lawyer *suffered* from.
