No..Jack Kemp was on H & C...we saw his face.
Sweet...look at all the chickens! LOL
I know, but usually they get George Mitchell, and I can't stand that guy!
Peres is difficult to understand on FNC
I believe you're correct. My Snookums' best friend lives just down the road from Galena in Batavia, and we were visiting last month. Took in the Swedish Festival. You're right, it's a very pretty area. We had the ice cream at Graham's--I had a mocha coffee bean ice cream that was deliriously yummy, and Snookums had dark chocolate chip--chocolate ice cream with bitter chocolate chips. Very, very yummy.
freakin' GRETA~!
"is the kidnapping of 2 Israeli soldiers really worth such a (drastic?) response from Israel?"
WHAT?!
Like that is ALL this is about!
As if Lebanon never shoots rockets into Israel...like the HezzBULLs never threaten to wipe out Israel or want kill all Jews...
as if they didn't INVADE ISRAEL, KILL other soldiers during the kidnapping....
as if they didn't plan to hand over the soldiers to Iran?
SPIT!
SPIT SPIT SPIT!
yeah Great- this is a big tadoo about nuttin... right?
Freakin' WENCH!
He set her straight tho
A refreshing perspective. Off Dan Reihl's blog..
Is Mid-East News Depressing? - Ultimately, No
Current news from the Middle East may be terrible, even horrific, but it, for very good reasons, is far from depressing. That's a better characterization of the news from the region for the last fifty years. We are experiencing a defining moment in world history and it's far from depressing.
From Pajamas Media:
“Egyptian leader also discloses Iranian offer to negotiate settlement with Hizbullah as part of Arab initiatives to resolve crisis, but Mubarak calls Tehran’s bid ‘a trap’”
And this from the G8:
“We demand first that the Israeli soldiers be returned to Israel healthy, that the attacks on Israel cease, and then naturally for Israel to halt military action.”
And this:
“Condoleezza Rice said that the United States is not interested at this point in a cease fire that would allow Hizbullah and the Hamas to violate it by firing rockets toward Israel.
The Arabs, led by Saudi Arabia, have condemned Hezbollah. A decade ago the only reports we'd be seeing would include pictures of mobs in the Arab Street shouting "Death to Israel". As tragic and possibly far from over is the current conflict, there has been movement in what amounts to glacial forces over the last decade and since we invaded Iraq.
The only hope that ever existed for bringing down the state infrastructures behind the world's worst terrorist organizations (Iran and Syria) had to start with driving a wedge into the Middle East - a region that has been more monolithic in its pro-terrorist, anti-American and anti-Israeli rhetoric than any other over the last fifty years.
The current news may be tragic, as it is, after all, news of war - but, so far, depressing it is not. If current positions by the majority of nations hold, we have crossed the ultimate Rubicon that needed to be crossed in order to finally bring peace to one of the most troubled regions of the world.
Not just Egypt, but now, through their rhetoric and led by Saudi Arabia, the majority of Arab nations have indicated a willingness to peacefully co-exist with a secure Israel. There hasn't been so profound a shift, or moment in contemporary world events since the tearing down of the Berlin Wall.
Current headlines should give us pause, as no one really wants a war to take place; but there's more reason for optimism in today's news from the Middle East, then there is rationale for being depressed.
Now, if we can only defeat the ideological enemy within.
OMG...LMAO
Don't hold back, eeevil...tell us how you really feel about Greta. ;o)
I don't have enough knowledge to speculate...but, I am very interested in those that do..
I enjoy each post that does..thanks for the reminder.
I will state an opinion...and that is that Israel better not back down now...and this should continue until they get Hezbollah out of Lebanon...their soldiers back..
Hamas is another story..you tell me.
ROFL!!!!!!!!
thank goodness...
she is a twit...
sorry...
LOL!

Crude oil above $77 on Middle East conflict
U.S. crude futures rose further above $77 on Monday after a weekend of worsening conflict between Israel and Hizbollah guerrillas, leaving traders nervous the violence could spread to more Middle East countries.
NYMEX crude for August delivery was trading up $0.35 or 0.45 percent at $77.38 a barrel in ACCESS electronic trading by 2210 GMT, a dollar shy of last week's record $78.40.
NYMEX August gasoline lagged the complex's gain, rising $0.0051 or 0.22 percent to $2.3300.
Hizbollah killed eight people in the Israeli city of Haifa on Sunday in its deadliest rocket attack on the Jewish state, while Israeli planes killed 41 people in Lebanon in a fifth day of strikes.
Leaders of the world's major powers meeting in Russia urged restraint but said Israel had a right to self-defence, putting the onus on Hizbollah to stop the violence by first releasing two Israeli soldiers it captured on Wednesday.
Ahh, that hurts :)
