Do Olmert and Peretz have the cojones? I doubt it. Its very much a graduated (limited) response that's being sensationalized by the news channels. Imagine bombing buildings in the middle of the night. Oh how nasty of those big bad Israelis. This latest attack in Gaza is a little funny to me.

Ariel Sharon tried to take em out in 1982 but the United States stopped the ground offensvie short of taking out Arafat. That's history. President Bush insists on "restraint" and Israel is following the lead with the limited attacks.

Hello, MOGirl. Im convinced that a liberal who aspires to post graduate work, trades common sense for the Certificate. In the case of Jewish Liberals, their intellect far exceeds common sense. Living in the belly of the beast as these liberals do, coupled with longer exposure to academia, they really believe in the Rodney King mantra..

2,000 Israelis hold anti-war demo in Tel Aviv

Published: 7/16/2006


TEL AVIV - Around 2,000 people marched in Israel's commercial capital of Tel Aviv on Sunday to demand an end to the punishing offensive against Lebanon that has left some 150 dead, organisers said.
"Yes to a prisoner exchange," chanted the demonstrators, referring to the key demand of Lebanese Hezbollah militants who snatched two Israeli soliders in a cross-border raid Wednesday, unleashing the Israeli offensive.

"Yes to peace," "Our children want to live," cried the mixed crowd of Jewish and Arab demonstrators.

The rally, organised by half a dozen Israeli pacifist groups, lasted around two hours before being dispersed by police.

At least 45 Lebanese were killed in Israeli strikes Sunday as the Jewish state pressed on with the fifth day of a campaign that has left much of Lebanon's infrastructure in tatters and raised fears of all-out regional war.

A Hezbollah rocket attack killed eight people in the Mediterranean port of Haifa in the the deadliest cross-border rocket attack on Israel in decades, strengthening Israel's resolve to destroy the Shiite militant group.

In the strongest international message yet to both sides, the G8 group of top world nations demanded at a summit in Russia an end to Israeli military operations and attacks by militants on Israel.

These "limited" responses lead to "limited" outcomes. I get bees in my kitchen every spring, and I blast every one of them I find. I spray their nests and search every corner and crevice for the marauders. My wife is deathly allergic to bee stings. I can't afford to not do things right.

What is so stinking hard here for these politicians?

Battlespace Preparation: “What we are witnessing in southern Lebanon is concurrent with actions designed to prep a battlefield for the insertion of ground forces…By blockading the coast, neutralizing Beirut’s airport, and damaging roads and bridges into and out of Lebanon, the IDF has cut off Hezbollah’s supply routes by land, sea, and air, and blocked all lines of escape.”

he really did enjoy Israel and wanted to stay longer...it really is a beautiful country...

it's very difficult to describe the feeling that you get, Jew or non-Jew, when you are, for example, in Jerusalem. Whether you go to the Wall, or trace Jesus' footsteps, there's a spirituality about the city that is palpable...

I can understand why he wanted to stay longer...but not now...

Hannity and Colmes are on tonight for a special edition at 9...

Maybe Ailes won't tell Colmes that his show is on tonight.

I see. Didn't know he had a book out. "Bob Unvarnished: Why We Keep Making the Same Mistakes"

Guess he was so busy spewing on Fox that he failed to mention it.

I wonder if this is the same kind of rumor...as Col. Hunt being Hillary's military advisor??

Did that turn out not to be true. Please tell me it wasn't true.

STARWISE and I have both posted to anita...because it was discovered that it was one of her "media nuggets" several months ago...that stuck in all of our minds.

But, anita doesn't post the "sources" of her nuggets..and both STARWISE and I have asked for her source, for two reasons...one, because we don't want to believe it.

And two...because we have had the same reaction as yours for 3 days from other freepers that want OUR source...LOL

"Imagine bombing buildings in the middle of the night."

It is a waste of bombs. Drop them on some Hamas fighters.

"France joined voices with the United States on Sunday in asserting that Israel has the right of self-defense in the face of ceaseless terror and rocket attacks.

“Israel must defend itself,” said French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, “and it had the right to do so.” He added, however, that Israel should exercise restraint in dealing with the threat." Make your bloody mind, mate!

Hiya B...hope you're well... :-)

LOL, I'm with you...stick a missile into a car, and then fire one into the mosh pit that develops afterwards...

I am very glad to hear that. The young feel so invulnerable.
