Good interview with state department spokeswoman on Fox now. The most helpful thing she saiad was that people who can't get through to the embassy in Beirut (because of overload on computers, etc.) can have their relatives in the US go on line and register them. She also said that people should stay put because roads are impassable and it is dangerous to try to get out overland right now. They ARE working on a plan to evacuate Americans.

I don't have a disclaimer, so I'm out as of now. I have a slow dial-up and can't keep a lot of windows open, and can't see pings and things while sitting on one live thread, so hope to catch other news while I'm here.

I just wouldn't want to be in Iraq working when someone from "home" is here lurking and not talking to me, so I always try to say something to you, A. I had hoped because our Jewish community here (my neighborhood) is so large and active, we would have some good media info, but maybe not. See all y'all threadbirds later. Thanks for teaching me lots!

Oddly enough I did hear that- I was surfing and sat there with my jaw on the floor...he's gone over the edge.

What's funny is that MSNBC uses Pat as a cconservative/Republican voice. Nothing could be further from the truth. He's an anti-semite to the core.

Things are fairly quiet in Israel/Lebanon. Is that good or bad?

Allegra, when will you get out of Iraq?

Thank you. I have been trying to wade through this thread to get news.

You should realize that this thread started in the middle of the night...when all the news shows were only showing "old" video and reruns of information alread filtered here.

That may explain why there so much blather early on here.

Sorry for contributing to it, btw.

Rebel - I hope you saw this report from Miss Marple:

If you need us to do anything for you, let us know.

Were you MORE offended by him that you usually are? Did you feel like he was just off the wall and completely wrong -- not just wrong but DEAD wrong and vicious?

Probably special ops and reconaissance forces. They're the first to go in and see what they lay of the land is like and prep the battlefield. Things are going to be heating up soon.

I actually thought he was unhinged, Howlin. He was so emotional about it..it was as though we were able to look into "the essential Pat"...remarks like - we have no PROOF that Syria is behind any of this. Jed Babbin (in rebuttal) was BESIDE himself pointing out the absurdity of Pat's rant.
