Seeing Qatar on the wrong side is quite worrisome to me. As I recall, we have moved out of Saudi Arabia and into Qatar which served as our base of operatons during the invasion of Iraq. We wouldn't want to get kicked out again. I'm not sure where we would go.

I hate reading that. Our daughter is getting deployed to Qatar in Sept for 4 months. I've been watching to see which side they would come down and this makes me real nervous.

This did push those Indian bombings off the front pages pretty quickly.

bttt!

I'm a little tired but I just want to say thank you for this thread.

I haven't been sleeping too much in the past couple of days. However I will try to take a brief nap before the news shows because I was awake earlier to watch the news but now don't remember what happened.

And this is supposed to be my vacation. LOL

Okay, back to your regularly scheduled person who actually makes sense (after a little nap). :)

More urgent news on CNN about Val Plame Wilson now called Plame Bond Geeeeesh.......

This is what has been driving me crazy about CNN. I just don't want to hear about unimportant stuff now, you know?

I care about the CA fire, and obviously anything about North Korea, but beyond that... please! Yesterday I turned it on in the middle of the day and there was something completely irrelevant. It drove me crazy, particularly because I have no other American news channel.

Plame must be really irritated, btw, at the timing of her lawsuit, LOL! Nobody cares! Sweet justice, LOL!

We know that's the Albright approach which I always find highly ironic considering she's from Czechoslovakia.

I had to work yesterday so I asked my brother about the latest on the war and he said he didn't know because everytime he turned on the television it was all about Plame.

It will also be said to be the President's fault for whatever reason they can drum up. Bill Kristol has gone barking mad. He thinks the President should fly into Jerusalem. Right, Bill, send the President of the United States into a war zone (something he has done, of course).

Haifa news conference: Amir Peretz, Israeli Defense Minister: For a long, long time the terrorists counted on the weakness of ... that we would be a government that wouldn't act iwth appropriate firmness.

The harm and injury is serious and I wish to send my condolences to those impacted. No one should think, God forbid, that they are sacrificing in vain. I want the families to know tha teveryone who had attacked and harmed the city of Haifa will pay a very expensive price for this.

Everybody who speaks to me, every single citizen who calls me says the same thing -- if we started this war then finish it properly. Finish it.

What I want you to know is this: Hezbollah is extremely surprised. They put a rocket in a home of a family and they are surprised we have dared attack the most sensitive headquarters of Hezbollah. That has never been done in the past.

They are surprised by the determination of the homefront. What do they see? They see a country united and has closed ranks and it's important for this attitude to prevail because this is what will be decided. We now have a situation where the army is fighting for its home. That's the picture. Everyone know we're fighting for our homes. Our famlies are being attacked.

We have also today given our pr omise that every source of firing, irrespective of where the firing comes from, you should know they themselves will be hit. Any source of firing with be dealt with the appropriate force and intensity.
