but attacking Syria first only weakens thier political postion worldwide...



Israel is being hit with hundreds of rockets a day (after Israel shut down 25 jewish settlements) and the United States reminds ISRAEL of RESTRAINT.

I don't think Israel should worry about their political position worldwide. It didn't help in the 1940s it won't help now.

An interesting line from a Beruit blog I stumbled across...

"The Iranian regime is fighting Israel to the last Lebanese child."...

They expected the Middle East to rise up, and GEORGE BUSH changed the face of it by taking Saddam out of the equation....
Now Hez is begging for help, Syria is hunkering down, and Iran is being bombastic...

Anyone wonder if all the US warships docking to pickup Americans in Beirut may drop off some Special Forces? I like that idea.

"What indications are there that Sinoria is trying to get rid of Hezbollah from within the government and the population?"

None. He went on a rant yesterday on Fox in which he defended Hezbollah and attacked Israel. He was told that Mike Tobin in Haifa had a question for him, and he refused to take the question and hung up, apparently thinking that Tobin was an Israeli, and did not hear Tobin greet him in Arabic.

Siniora is as a puppet. He's weak and a Hezbollah stooge, who has no intention of doing thing one about Hezbollah.

I am sorry it took me so long to answer...Tuesday is my busiest day of the week.

AU..Reading about your friend and the neighbors..I just cry. I so much wish that there I something I personally could do...and I know that is not going to happen.

Please tell her of our prayers and that we care deeply about them and want them to be finally free of this terrorism.

Also, if there IS anything that they need, that I can do..please let me know, okay?

Just like a Terrorist to fight using the kids. Tell you what let Nasrallah be the first "child" (he acts like one) to die.

22:43 Pope Benedict XVI says he supports G8 declaration on Israel-Lebanon fighting (AP)

Glad to hear that. There was a nasty thread about the Vatican "declaration" a few days ago.

The Arab American (Hussein Ibish) guy just interrupted Charles Krauthammer while he was talking and Charles said..."If you could just hold up on your Katuysha's...I'm talkin'" LOL!

The amusing part is probably found in people's reactions to the photo. If they had been Palestinian children, the photo would've been declared "proof" of their terrorist-breeding culture but since these are Israeli children...

I have no doubt the WMD's went to Syria, but are they still in Syria or did they go to Iran?

Aren't they in the Bakka valley? Isn't the Bakka Valley where everyone said Saddam's WMD's were sent? Is it possible they are utilizing some/all in this current conflict?

U.S. plans to evacuate 1,000 from Lebanon

WASHINGTON - The United States on Tuesday stepped up evacuation plans for Americans stranded in Lebanon, preparing to move as many as 1,000 passengers onto a commercial ship that docked in Beirut.

The Orient Queen, a Lebanese cruise ship under contract with the U.S. military, pulled in Tuesday night, said Vice Adm. Patrick Walsh, the top U.S. naval officer in the Mideast. Walsh said passengers would go aboard and leave Beirut at first light on Wednesday morning. More

Ditto every word you posted, jveritas. We're lucky to some small extent that at least Saddam is out of business and not launch scud missiles into Israel like he did in '91.
