And if Hezbollah does anything here...well...the Lebanese Parliament is comprised of 128 members, 23 of whom are from Hezbollah. Talk about a government harboring terrorists!

Too bad Bob forgot about that in terms of Israel's response as well.

Hillary is also advocating more talking:

Turning to the present world situation, Clinton later told a gathering of mostly Democrats: "We just have to turn on the news, don’t we, to see what it’s like going on around the world -- so many conflicts. We need to get back to building partnerships and alliances, to making friends so we can influence decisions that other people make and have people working with us to stem the tide of terrorism and the threats that we confront.”

She added: "If we have to use military power, yes, we have to use it. But use it as a last resort, not as a first resort. Use it after all else has failed.”

Gag.

the late Col. David Hackworth?
??? Did I miss that?
--Died in May 2005. His all-black all-the-time wardrobe must have ended up in someone's hands. Belevaqua is his successor.

The ship was sinking---and sinking fast. The captain told the passengers and crew, "We've got to get the lifeboats in the water right away."

But the crew said, "First we have to end capitalist oppression of the working class. Then we'll take care of the lifeboats."

Then the women said, "First we want equal pay for equal work. The lifeboats can wait."

The racial minorities said, "First we need to end racial discrimination. Then seating in the lifeboats will be allotted fairly."

The captain said, "These are all important issues, but they won't matter a damn if we don't survive. We've got to lower the lifeboats right away!"

But the religionists said, "First we need to bring prayer back into the classroom. This is more important than lifeboats."

Then the pro-life contingent said, "First we must outlaw abortion. Fetuses have just as much right to be in those lifeboats as anyone else."

The right-to-choose contingent said, "First acknowledge our right to abortion, then we'll help with the lifeboats."

The socialists said, "First we must redistribute the wealth. Once that's done everyone will work equally hard at lowering the lifeboats."

The animal-rights activists said, "First we must end the use of animals in medical experiments. We can't let this be subordinated to lowering the lifeboats."

Finally the ship sank, and because none of the lifeboats had been lowered, everyone drowned.

The last thought of more than one of them was, "I never dreamed that solving humanity's problems would take so long---or that the ship would sink so SUDDENLY."

"Agreed. But do you think Hezbollah made this call on their own or were they acting under orders from Iran?"

Hezbollah was under orders from Osama Bin Laden, in my opinion, with the idea being that their attack on Israel from Lebanon would relieve pressure on Hamas in Gaza as well as drag Syria and/or Iran into their global war.

Won't happen. Didn't happen. The same trick is being repeated in India with the bombs in Mumbai being intended to drag Pakistan into Osama's war. I doubt that the Indians fall for this trick, either.

Hello,

And that boggles my mind. How could any Jewish person be so out of touch with the reality on the ground in Israel?

Glad to be here, MOgirl

I am going to sign up, too. No harm in getting our views out there.

I just fnished watering all my outdoor pots, and now am getting ready to see how George Allen does on FNS repeat (missed it this morning while painting). I haven't been that impressed with Allen, but the Sunday Talk Show thread said he did pretty well.

Thanks! I'm not losing it (yet)! I believe the graphic showed two targets, which would then be Damascus and some other major city in Syria, I suppose. My thought was, what if somebody saw that and acted on it without checking for confirmation? Gotta get some stuff done - will check back later...

I believe that if Syria or Iran decide to use heavy stuff against Israel that the nuke will come into play.
