I thought this could be a new thread for today. BurbankKarl's thread did well yesterday.
Wow, I have to pay more attention to this lady. Apparently not just another pretty face, though she is that.
They said the NK flatly turned it down and it sounds like there were no repercussions in the resolution so we're back to square one, it sounds like to me.
Plus she's gorgeous...
Message to Putin: Thank you Captain Obvious...
Here's an opinion piece from Israel today..well-done:

That little sod (my son) had us worried this am...but he's in Tel Aviv now..he sounded like he was having a ball.
I said to him that it sounds like he's having "a blast"..."That's not funny, Dad"..and I meant it in total innocence..
...do I hear the sound of an angry squirrel in the sink drain coming from the background...?
Shep is a pretty girly man ;)That being said, I never look at him by choice. I'm afraid he will start crying on air again or acting like his usual drama queen self.
I wonder when he and Anderson Pooper are going to do a show together...
I'm worried about our military personnel in Iraq. As if it isn't already crazy and dangerous enough, the Iraqi PM has denounced the military actions of Israel. We might very soon have to choose our friends and move fast.
Damn...that is such a great setup sofa, but I will remain civil and not take that bait. I was pleased with Coop's live coverage last night though.
Seems like the most bombs rain down after dark in the ME, so it should be another interesting evening.

Russian defense minister says Hezbollah uses 'terrorist methods'
By Haaretz Service and News Agencies
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov on Saturday warned that other nations could be drawn into the escalating Middle East conflict, which he called "a war that has begun."
Ivanov appealed to the Islamic extremist group Hezbollah to stop using "terrorist methods" and said both sides must exercise restraint.
"We call on Hezbollah to stop resorting to any terrorist methods including attacking neighboring states," Ivanov said.

Israel Wipes Out Coastal Lebanese Radar Positions

Israeli air force planes continue striking Lebanese targets, completely wiping out radar positions on the Lebanese coast on Saturday evening.
The radar positions that were bombed included those belonging to the Lebanese army and the Hizbullah. According to IDF sources, it appears all of the radar positions targeted by the air force were successfully destroyed. The IDF Spokesperson's Office reported that some of the demolished radars were used in the fatal Hizbullah C-802 missile strike on an Israeli naval gunship Friday night. One sailor was killed and three are reported as missing as a result of the unprecedented attack.
In addition, air force jets struck several tall buildings in the Dehiyah neighborhood in Beirut, stronghold of the Hizbullah and the location of its headquarters, which was also targeted and destroyed. According to a senior IDF officer, a previous strike in Beirut led to the collapse of an 11-story building, the rubble of which blocked the exit of a bunker where Hizbullah chief Hassan Nasrallah was hiding. Israeli planes also bombed Nasrallah's private Beirut residence.
The Al-Jazeera satellite television station reported that IDF forces launched three missiles at the Tripoli seaport, on the northern stretch of the Lebanese coast. Also reported was a missile strike on the Beirut port, which handles 95 percent of the country's commercial trade.
In another airstrike, IDF warplanes fired four missiles at a border crossing between Lebanon and Syria. A Syrian military installation is located at the crossing, although Israeli sources said that only targets on the Lebanese side of the border were targeted. Syrian officials confirmed that there were no Israeli attacks on Syrian soil.
In a related report, WorldNetDaily.com journalist Aaron Klein said that military sources in the Golan Heights identified gunfire directed at Israel from Syrian territory on Friday. The IDF is attempting to ascertain the exact source of the shooting, according to Klein.

ROFL...You noticed that too huh?
Who would play the female anchor part?
Usually, every Muslim leader will issue two statements per issue, one for internal distribution, one for external distribution. The two rarely match, with one very notable recent exception, Saudi Arabia, who has publicly condemned Hezbollah for more than usual madness.
If we step aside in Iraq, the new government won't survive the butchers for more than an hour. Disregard political posturing, actions speak louder than words.
