For me, I still think there is a good chance the IDF will be allowed to deal Hizbullah a death blow.

I sure hope so......Sen Dude Dood wants Bush to send High Level Delegations to the locale RIGHT NOW....I say send them from the West US Coast via a slow boat....and they need to stop and check on the North Koreans.....on the way/......

sofalad is at the airport and is flying out in about 3 1/2 hours...to London..

Although he called when he got to the airport and asked whether he can change his ticket so that he can extend his stay in Israel....that kid!

You have no idea how many times in the last 24 hours I have wondered if sofalad was OK. I suspect the young man has had a lot of mothers in the last couple of days.

I guess just too much breaking news...

I don't really blame them...but, I sure wish I could have seen it.

There were some interesting comments about it on the Sunday thread....oh, well.

Hello,

I have said basically the same thing to many Libs, problem is, they ignore it. They ignore what they don't want to see, don't want to deal with, and don't want to confront. It's a "LALALALALLALA", my fingers are in my ears, I didn't hear you mindset. Childish, and very dangerous.

Glad to be here, MOgirl

And typical. These are the same people who successfully blamed a hurricane on sitting President..

Reshet Bet reported...Al Jazeera network aired live footage... , which...helps Hezbollah adjust the aim of the rockets it fires on Israel.

This brings up an interesting question. What story will THE new york times run that will hurt Israel's cause and, at the same time, slams Pres. Bush?

I have a few questions for Den Dodd...

1. who would he like this envoy to speak to? The Israeli government? The Lebanese Gov? What good would that do?

2. Should this envoy meet with Nasrallah, the head of a terrorist organization? Should we be negotiating with a terrorist organization?

3. Should we also send an envoy to negotiate with Osama Bin Laden?

Are you Sen Dodd proposing that we nedotiate with terrorism?

Chris Dodd is a dolt..

Ok- I don't get it. What is going on?
This is getting out of hand. France says Israel has the right to defend itself.

France Joins U.S.: ‘Israel Has a Right to Defend Itself’ 01:30 Jul 17, '06 / 21 Tammuz 5766

(IsraelNN.com) 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.

“There is an aggressive element in the Middle East,” he said, and that is Hizbullah. As friends of Israel we must advise it to maintain level-headedness and restraint.”

My best friend is a yellow dog dim. We get along fine, as long as politics aren't mentioned. At her age, and with her health, i just shut up.

No, Wesley Clark is not Jewish, unless one is using the sicko Nazi "blood" definition of "Jew."

That's exactly the definition most people use as to whether someone is Jewish or not, if they have Jewish blood, a Jewish parent, whether on the maternal side or paternal side. Technically, you are right, if you are speaking in religious terms rather than ethnic ones (or race ones, if using that term to designate a Semitic person). However, most people would say that Wesley Clark is 1/2 Jewish, just as others are 1/2 Arab, or 1/2 Asian, or whatever. It's really 1/2 Semitic if one wants to be technical, I suppose. So, Clark is 1/2 Jewish. Now, you probably don't want to "own" him, because he is a weasel, and if you are Jewish, and I don't blame you. But he is just another of too many Jews or part Jews who have a liberal bent. At least Wesley, on the subject of Israel, is being reasonable, and not his usual liberal self, which is a good thing. And I believe he is doing this because he considers himself to be 1/2 Jewish by birth.
