I wonder when he and Anderson Pooper are going to do a show together...

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.

Who would play the female anchor part?

Hey sofa, I sent you FRmail earlier.
Had News on very early this am re Tiberius.
Am glad it is being repeated over and over that Iran & Syria pulling the strings and with what happened in India the other day, a few may get a clue you can't talk to these people and not going away anytime soon.

Am glad sofalad is leaving soon. BTW, how did the pass port story turn out.

Now, now sofaman, I kind of like Anderson Cooper... I do respect him because he could be just another rich kid lolling around on the beaches of the South of France, but instead took $hitty reporting jobs and asked to be sent to the worst areas of the Africa to report...

He not only went to the Tsunami zone, but really dug in to help out when he wasn't on the air, he's been back to NOLA multiple times, and instead of hanging out at the Convenction Center he shagged a ride in boats and went out to help rescue people, he brought us the story of the blind old lady wo refused to leave her house with no roof because they wouldn't let her take her seeing-eye dog on the boats he talked and talked and she wasn't leaving, finally he took the boat rescuer aside and worked something out so they could take her dog and he guaranteed her he'd help her stay with the dog or vis-versa.. he followed up to see how she was doing several times after.. also, has and is still trying to get dogs adopted and out of the area (I'm a sucker for dogs)

He was one of the few reporters that has and is the first anchor on the ground in Israel to cover this conflict... so I'm not a CNN fan, but I do like Anderson 90% of the time. He tries not to bring any personal bias into his reporting and I appreciate that about him, too... once in a while he does, but most of the time he doesn't.
