the Wacko Bob B. is on Fox

He just said something about our 2 soldiers that were mutilated in Iraq a few weeks ago, and how we didn't do anything about it, and he's right. But we should have. Every since we backed out of Falujah when those contractors were mutilated and burned I have been somewhat angry that we seem to be fighting a PC war over there.

Some may not agree with that, but we dang sure should have done swift and serious to those that mutilated our boys.

My 2 cents.

Yep, they either don't get it or it doesn't fit their agenda, which is very possible.

Looks like Israel is giving Syria every chance to stay out of the war...the ball is in Syria's court.

Here's what I got from my friend in Haifa within the last hour. I had told her about rebel_yell2 in Beirut, the rally in NYC and AU. Gave her links to some other sites as well.

She says it's been horrible. Finds my support and the support she hears about so helpful and likes reading about it. Sleeps when she can day or night. Worries about the neighbors little kids playing (hers are grown & out of country at present.)

"3 years old, playing in a wee little swimming pool on their veranda this morning.Splashing and having a good time.. I could hear their little voices and laughter, so how could I show I'm frightened when these little ones are so happy.
Back to that fellow, I would advise all Americans to leave the area of Beirut as soon as possible..."

She has this to say also.

" I feel that we have a very strong leader in Olmert and he gave a very good speech to the Nation yesterday..People outside are critizing him for his policies, but they forget that we now have the threat of being Nuked from Iran..An open threat at that...

Its too late for diplomacy I'm afraid, they have to get in there and finish the job off like the Jordains did in the early 70s with Arafats gang,.

Arafat tried to overthrow the King,tried assasination a few times. They tried to settle in Jordan, but the late King Hussein read the writing on the wall and they slaughtered over 20,000 Palestinians who had embedded themselves in Jordan, they called themselves the 'Black September' The rest went back to Gaza. Google that up, you will find it most interesting..Where was the world when that massacre took place..OMG, this world is so full of double standards........"

this is what he just said on FOX...Israel overreacting to 2 soldiers kidnapped...we lose 2 soldiers every hour in Iraq...

He said THAT??? That's completely irresponsible and so incredibly OFF! We haven't lost anywhere near that since this offensive began about three and a half years ago.

Can you imagine doing the math on that?

What an idiot!

The way I understand it (from last night) is Iran is flying missiles to Syria and then they are being trucked from Syria to Hezbolla positions.

They are not a target because Israel doesn't want to make them a target.

Right now, everybody's busy getting their nationals out of Lebanon. I also don't know if Israel wants to start WWIII.

"we lose 2 soldiers every hour in Iraq..."

Actually, this month it's about 2 every 53 hours. Hopefully they don't let Major Bob call in coordinates. Reporters won't call him on this lie because they are even dumber.

I would much rather fight the terrorists in Iraq the way Israel is taking on Hezbolla... there will never be peace in Iraq until someone takes the bull by the horn and rids the country of AlSadr and his minions.. our guys seem to have one hand tied behind their backs, probably due to the press more than anything else.

Has anyone posted a comment on Maj. Bevalacqua/Fox News about a half hour ago who severly criticized Israel for bombing so much of Lebanon? He said they didn't even bomb the terrorist training camp until today--before which, his sources tell him, the terrorists had already removed everything. In other words, they bombed an empty building. Comments?
