The war is much more confusing to follow when you don't have imbedded reporters...

Where would you put the reporters? In the cockpits of F-16's? IMO, the last thing needed is Iraq-style "reporting" by the MSM.

An IDF reserve infantry division was called up on Sunday to prepare for a possible ground operation in south Lebanon, according to The Jerusalem Post.


Nasrallah: ‘We Yearn for Ground Conflict’

20:45 Jul 16, '06 / 20 Tammuz 5766

(IsraelNN.com) Hizbullah chief Hassan Nasrallah spoke on the terrorist organization’s television station, al-Manar on Sunday evening, his first appearance since the beginning of the Re-engagement War last week.

“The Israeli intelligence could not penetrate our organizations,” taunted Nasrallah in remarks aimed at the IDF and Israeli security services. “They say that we have only dozens of missiles, but if you believe this and plan your moves accordingly, you will fail.”

Nasrallah said he looked forward to ground operations, and told the Lebanese public that it was in a historic phase which “has many hopes for saving the entire Islamic nation.”

Addressing his remarks to the IDF leadership, he added, “The Hizbullah fighters expect and yearn for a ground conflict with the Zionist ground forces. In this conflict the Israelis will be defeated.”


Be careful what you ask for, you just may get it....

Not the FOX report but:

On Friday, a separate emergency debate began in the Security Council over the situation in Lebanon. "Many of the long-range missiles that have hit Israeli towns…were launched from private homes, with families residing inside," Israeli Ambassador Dan Gillerman noted. "This is yet another example of the cynical and brutal way that Hizbullah uses civilians as human shields, with complete disregard for human life."

Correct the damage

[WTH is going on here?]

WWIII

Yes. The only thing missing is a clear identification of the enemy by our government.

If he is trying to get Israel to launch a ground invasion the air battle must be taking a heavy toll on his forces.

DiFi wants him to go as special envoy -- heaven help us all!!!!

A committee might work better. Yeah, that's the ticket. Send all the drooling Lefites -- Moore, Sheehan, Pelosi, Jackson, Carter, etc. -- over in a blimp with a 50 ft diameter "Airforce One" logo on each side.

Prayers that your loved ones will be safe, mfccinsd.

People who have not lived out of the States do not have a clue as to how scarce some very ordinary supplies are. And that very often there are shortages of those necessities. It isn't as tho one can run over to Walmart.

IAF estimates they've hit about 25% of Hizbullah's capabilities according to banner headline at JPost site.

I also think the fact that the civilians are trying to leave southern Lebanon plays a role. Nasrallah would love to play out another Jenin battle, but without "expendable extras" that's going to be difficult.

Do you remember Sodano doing this before with JPII, who was also on vacation? Big mistake.

I don't recall the incident you refer to. But I know Sodano has often taken pro-Arab, anti-Israli public stances.
