FNC reports tho some personnel are leaving, Beirut embassy is not closing. I'd say a skeleton crew will remain.

Very troubling escalation if this "threat" is carried out.

16:11 Hezbollah-linked Lebanese minister: We won`t strike Israel`s nuclear plants (Haaretz)

Folks the pucker factor just went thru the roof.

no threat here, they are saying they will NOT hit Israeli nuke facilities

AMEN! If this isn't proof for the absolute WISDOM of President Reagan and his Strategic Defense Initiative, I have no idea what could be.

And all that Clinton and the Dems have done is cost us 10 years of research time when we could have been implementing the missile shield ;(

Bastids!

Actually, my first thought was they are pre-covering their rears for an eventual rocket/missile attack on their nuclear facility.

Italian mainstream TV news (RAI) was reporting live from Beirut just half an hour ago that Israel is using GAS in bombing Lebanon. They say it's not confirmed, but if they dare to report it... well, I guess they're pretty sure (journalists in Italy are enslaved as everywhere else).

If Lebanese forces are saying the Israelis are using gas, what that really means is that Hezbollah is getting ready to use chemical warfare, and they needed to dream up an excuse.

Israelis should check their gas masks

This is sort of a lackey of Bin Laden issuing a statement on Sept 10 2001 claiming that they wouldn't strike the World Trade Center Towers.

From Haaretz.com:

IAF jets target 10 rocket launch pads in southern Lebanon

Any idea how many rocket launch pads in Southern Lebanon? 10, 100, 1000? What will it take to get 99% of them?

Get Mozilla Firefox. It works ok. I often use Firefox when Safari doesn't load something right.

It's troubling because they were actually considering it, and. may well STILL being considering it!

I dont trust the typical muslim, I trust Hezbollah and Hamas FAAAAAAAAAAAR less!

Only a fool would take the spokesthing for Hez at his word
