She was not happy that they could not go to the beach anymore.

And people in Southern California are not happy about the fires destroying their homes

It is all understandable and I hope all the tourists and decent folk escape to safety and return home soon. I do not share that hope for the terrorists and their sympathizers.

He warned the terror group not to make assumptions about Israeli’s fighting capabilities. “The decisions what to do and with which intensity [to fight] is reserved by the government,” he said, “and I suggest that the other side think about all the alternatives.”

Hi, sofaman. There is some confusion because the State Department is asking people in Lebanon to stay put as it's too dangerous to move about. But I think a rescue mission is still being planned and will take place beyond the eyes of the media.

If you think about it, with the modern weapons that Hezbollah/Lebanon has used, we probably dont have the assets to get the people out safely. You dont want to see a US ship on fire with all those evacuees on board.

I am just continually amazed at the people who expect the government to be at THEIR beck and call, and take no responsibility for themselves.

I dread tomorrow, with congress back in DC. There has already been toooooo much Bush bashing.

No problem.

This rescue mission, when it gets underway, is going to be a nail biter. The danger to our Marines is substantial.

Who in their right mind goes to Beirut to "go to the beach" when there are rockets and bombs all over the place. There are perfectly nice beaches anywhere else that would be far safer for sunbathing or swimming.

RE Chirac: see my post #1153.

His usual modus operandi when he does not get what he wants during the negotiations.

TV stations are reporting that the family had gone to Lebanon from Canada to spend the summer holidays in the town.

Somehow I missed putting Lebanon at the top of my vacation hot spots wish list.

Because I wouldn't put it past the NYT to put on their web site that our Marines will be landing on the roof of such and such a hotel at a certain time.



Isn't THAT the truth...good points, Peach.
I'm tired, I think..I'm jumping to conclusions without...duuuuhh..thinking:)

Thats what I say as well af_vet_1981. Israel has already stated that they were not aware of the rocket capabilities the Hizbullah monsters possessed. Wipe their assets out and talk about it later.

Too fond of the beaches in Somalia and the sand duens in Sudan are you?

You're thinking is just fine. Actually, it will be extremely difficult to keep the media from interviewing Americans holed up in hotels and getting any rescue information out of them.

I pray the State Dept. is telling people not to talk to anyone they don't know and including the media.
