I did that too...but not as much as I wanted. Back in the 80s, history majors didn't get computer access at my college...

Thank you for this report.

God BLESS her...and all Israelis.

Please..let her know everyone I've spoken with back here in the US- (including 3 hispanics & several liberal WASPS)is completely supportive of Israel in this mess. I actually don't know anyone who doesn't want to see Israel go in with troops and obliterate Hizbullah. Now that I think of it- I've not heard unity of this kind amongst people I know since 9/11. Not one dissenter.

We send out prayers and love to her and everyone in Israel.

Wonder if they are or are they victims of terrorist propoganda (brainwashing)? I imagine a lot of attitudes are being colored right now by the shelling and most are not looking at the big picture.

"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.

Yes. He said THAT. He knows better...but he also knows how to manipulate the media.

I'm done with him- he's completely lost credibility in my mind.

He's been on the Government's payroll in Iraq too long.. or if we've been taking his advice in Iraq maybe that is why our guys have to limit the response to the terrorism in Iraq... all his appearances have been over the top since Sunday.

Oh I know Iran has been saying these things, but i find it interesting the timing of the reissuing of these threats

It's a little worrying to say the least. We're pretty sure we know which "American interests" they'd go after first.

Iran's potential involvement has me studying my world map before I go to bed each night now - for escape routes. It just makes me feel better. ;-)

A small number of contractors are getting out of here. Most of us are staying put and watching. The former are probably the smart ones. LOL

It sure was, we thought letting him into the Government would cool his jets -- bad move; wonder if that was Major Bob's suggestion to solve the problem? At any rate, when will "we" learn you cannot reason with or negotiate with terrorists.

Here's the Google translation:

Resistance rockets launched by the Zionist entity are convulsing not destroy after ...
Kamal celebration included homes on 17 / 07 / 2006 at 4:18.
When the command "Hezbollah" and specifically secretary general Hassan Nasrallah, who discusses travelling on the meaning of survival weapon, Since liberation completed large parts of the South, except Shebaa farms, was the reply, This weapon is one, is to ensure a balance of deterrence and sometimes horror with the Zionist enemy. As long as we are all threatened to Lebanon and desires. Mr. Nasrullah, pass on messages Lzarih says that the weapon is not the traditional type of weapon, but very sophisticated weapons, The Israeli enemy is feared that focuses on the tendency of the hands of the resistance and surrendered to the Lebanese army. The visitors moved from Nasrallah, that the resistance has the equivalent of a weapon or a nuclear bomb the size, and when asked visitors Who, How acquired resistance to the arms, and where and how they were manufacturing the bomb. The Secretary-General of Hizbullah, "and" smiling at the answer : The missiles that we have, if Israel threatened Lebanon and bombed civilian installations, The answer will be to manufacturers petrochemicals, and that the fall of the missiles, the size sufficient to make a nuclear bomb. explode because of the toxic materials in these factories, which may lead to losses exceeding session thousand dead, The Israeli military experts say that the damage was worth about one million citizens except losses. What was said by Mr. Nasrallah Lzwarh months ago, which is Israel, which is waging war in order to remove resistance fighters in the depth of 30 kilometers. The removal of these missiles. Therefore, the Israeli aggression against Lebanon, fall within this framework, and sources of leadership in "Hizbullah", The battle waged by the resistance on the arms, which are proved to be able to deter the Israeli enemy. especially since the announcement by Mr. Nasrallah, that the city of Haifa, is under the range of fire-resistant, and if the bombing of civilians would be bombed Haifa, This is what happened last Sunday, and to neutralize the petrochemicals plant. Letter to the Zionists to stand by the folly of the political and military leadership, which, if continued its aggression, the decision will be implemented in the bombing, and the head of government to assume the enemy Ehud Olmert accountable to its citizens. It has been confirmed that the Zionist enemy "Hezbollah" have sophisticated military arsenal. This orbit was discussed at the meeting convened by the Israeli government after the bombing of Haifa, She left the enemy military leaders talked about a difficult and complex battle with the resistance. The sources say that the battle is not waged adventure begin, but deliberate and equipped. There are thousands of rockets awaiting departure Ltzlzl the Zionist entity, which is trying to reduce its leaders to the importance of launching missiles before audiences, but in closed chambers, talked about actual open war, as warned by Mr. Nasrallah, who believe what he says, The speeches and statements of similar resistance are never Arab military communications, which defeated before Israel in five days in the war of June 67, while the resistance on the sixth day, drain the enemy. Despite the losses suffered by Lebanon, targeting Israel aggression on civilians and vital utilities and industrial and commercial enterprises.
