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

Julie Banderas is one of the best additions to FNC of late. She doesn't abide fools.

FNC would do well if they replaced Shep with Julie! Bet their ratings would soar then!

C802. Now where have I heard that before?

Ah yes, the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Noteworthy that earlier reposrts tried to pass this off as a UAV.

Hiding their hand?

Forever, or until it doesn't matter anymore?

Time will tell.

[jazusamo]

No doubt about it, she outclasses Shep by a mile and is an excellent interviewer.

[Txsleuth]

LOL...I wish I had done that...just now got home and put all groceries up...whew.

[Txsleuth]

LOL...Julie really let old nasty Martin Frost have it...didn't she??

I was really happy she slapped him down.

Israeli tanks moving into Morthern Gaza...per FNC. So has the ground war begun?

[CAluvdubya]

Morthern=Northern

[Txsleuth]

I just wanted to remind all...that if you are a Hugh Hewitt fan...he is supposed to do a LIVE show today..6:00-9:00 EDT...

[jazusamo]

LOL!...I think old turkey Frost was taken aback when she said cheap shot, he's not used to that.

[jeffers]

From Haaretz:

23:11
Russian Pres. Putin says thinks Israel seeks `wider goals` than release of
soldiers (AP)


Vlad's a regular wizard, no?

When you play with fire, don't expect it to confine itself to the match-head forever.

[RDTF]

Wish I had her hair - lol!

[Peach]

I was wondering if it was too late to take control of that border. Maybe, maybe not. What do I know? LOL

But on FNC they just said that Israel didn't reject outright the Lebanese PM's call for a ceasefire in exchange for Lebanese troops on the southern border.

Will respond to freepmail after dinner.

I heard that announcement on FNC but there's been no followup that I've heard.

[Txsleuth]

Oh..goody, goody...Greta is coming in tonight for a special Middle East show...

I wonder if she will have her "generals"??

[sofaman]

thanks tarheel...actually he goes to London for about 2 weeks and then Italy for 2 weeks. Then returns to Israel for about 5 days before coming home. The return to Israel is, obviously, questionable at this point.

[SE Mom]

Thanks for reminder...:)

Israel Widens Scope of Attacks Across Lebanon

By GREG MYRE

Published: July 16, 2006

METULA, Israel, July 15 — Israel expanded its reach to northern Lebanon on Saturday, conducting airstrikes against coastal radar installations it said were targeting its warships. And Hezbollah forces continued their rocket barrage into northern Israel, striking the resort city of Tiberias for the first time.

[Txsleuth]

I just got home...haven't had a chance to read back through the thread that I missed..

Has there been any reaction here to North Korea's reaction to the UN Sanctions??

Such stories sofalad will tell for years! :-)

I have to admit I am a sucker for true crime and sometimes I get caught up in watching the murder mysteries she and Nancy Grace cover. But I don 't enjoy watching either one of them, so I usually snap out of it and turn the channel.
