She has done pretty well.

Confirmation on Israeli's bombing Palestinian foreign ministry for the second time, which result is that there is much more damage and the building has been virtually destroyed.

Timing- when there is a hard break they can't change it...

She's doing a good job I think. Programming problems like that are the fault of the producer- not the news-readers.

Julie Bandaras put Susan Estrich in her place, she said "I can't imagine the world today with President Bush. These Dems are on the sauce. The Blame Bush game is staring, Howard Dean said if the Dems were in charge we would not have this LOL LOL. The Dems are using the same old words, we are losing in Iraq. They hate are military so much they insult them and make them look incompetent. Then they want to lead them. What a joke.

Senator Allen calls Arafat a "reptilian, corrupt, terrorist."

Wasn't that great? I only wish he would have added, while Dodd was singing the praises of Clinton's diplomacy, is that all he achieved was to kick the cans down the road and make our enemies take us less seriously. And I don't buy that they are striking out now because they think we are weak. They are striking out because they are losing the cover of Clinton diplomacy when they could shake hands and then continue to pursue their agendas. Everything, from their funding to their communications to their operations in rogue nations has been rocked for most the last 5 years.

Balaclava should be fired from his contract - an analyst (expert) needs to provide factual information and he was sorely lacking in historical facts and precedence. He was neither professional nor accurate in his other comments.

That drives me nuts about FOX. The reporters ask a guest a question and then talk over them to answer themselves. It's not just rude it's stupid. The guests are usually there because they have more expertise than the mere talking head journalist. I'm always far more interested in what the guests have to say than what the newsreaders want to tell me. Yes, even if the guests are leftists.

Alan Colmes in the worst offender and has very poor manners. I can't watch the man no matter who the guests are.

Hezbullies are probably asking for a ceasefire because Israel has cut off the resupply routes from Iran.

They need time to get more rockets and missiles from Iran, then they'll claim Israel violated the ceasefire and resume shelling Israel.

Notice that when she asked David Miller why they bombed so late...he answered "to cut down on collateral damage"..meaning I guess, deaths to any innocent citizens.

Gosh...when I hear our TV people sitting a complaining all day about how much we are paying for gas...

And then we see scenes from bombings...I wonder if some of them have THEIR lives in the proper perspective.
