Pat Buchanan is an ignorant, despicable fool. Guess he doesn't remember how the Hezbo-Nazis slaughtered US Marines and a lot of other people in the 1983 bombings of our Marine Barracks and the US Embassy:

"The death toll was 241 American servicemen: 220 Marines, 18 Navy personnel and 3 Army soldiers. Sixty Americans were injured. In the attack on the French barracks, 58 paratroopers were killed and 15 injured. In addition, the elderly Lebanese custodian of the Marines' building was killed in the first blast. [1] The wife and four children of a Lebanese janitor at the French building also were killed.[2] This was the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States Marine Corps since the Battle of Iwo Jima (2,500 in one day) of World War II. The attack remains the deadliest post-World War II attack on Americans overseas.

Ooops, that was a quotation from Wikipedia in my previous post, sorry I forgot the link. Here is the Wikipedia link:

Here is a link to a memorial site which Pat Buchanan should be forced to read from aloud, on live TV, with numerous photos displayed until Pat vows never to make such stupid and ignorant comments again:

Agreed. I'd guess that pass has been in use for a couple thousand years.

Dear Pat Buchanan, the Hezbo-Nazis just about invented contemporary suicide/homicide bombings with their slaughters of US Marines and many other good people in 1983. You can certainly argue about what Israel should do now, what the USA should do now, etc. But DON'T YOU DARE say "what has Hezbollah ever done to the US?" How dare you display your idiotic ignorance in such an offensive manner, Pat?

Shep is giving the IDF pilot a hard time! He needs to get out of there, and get off Fox!!!!!

I saw that, but it didn't look like Shep, and I was wondering who it was(I was tired?). The pilot held his own, bless his heart. Anyway, it pissed me off.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Good read. The UAV's not initially being picked up over Israel is concerning. I admit I had visions of skies full of UAV's in the future.

I feel like a slacker at times,too..but so far I haven't found it necessary..Someone else already has posted what I find.

Israeli Arab Imam Yearns to See Hizbullah Flag Over Israel

[Txsleuth]

Exactly...Freepers are FAST!

[Enchante]

"Plus, you guys wouldn't have all of the cute newsbabes to drool over."

I wouldn't watch any news if it weren't for some of the newsbabes...... :^) Actually I barely watch any news on TV anymore...... I do tend to tune in when there's major breaking news where I want to see the visuals on our large-screen TV, but on ordinary days I find just about all of the newscasts unbearable.

What do you suppose the white thing is in the middle of this Google map of the area to the north of Avivim?

[Txsleuth]

I am heading to the bed...

I will be back tomorrow..

[sofaman]

how do you know how many posts you have made?

[Arizona Carolyn]

a community imam spoke of the day when there will be “true peace” and the Hizbullah flag will fly over “Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Iran and Israel,” yearning for that day.

The spread of radical Islam must be stopped at some point, sooner the better. Unlike Pat Buchnan who has an attitude that they have to hit us first, I think we've waited too long to step in and have allowed more than anyone realizes to proliferate on our own shores.
