Oh, The Esseily's are back in the news. They have contacted CNN, what, five or is it six times now?
To: tsmith130
Murdoch owned Fox Network at one time, but IIRC it's now owned by a Saudi prince.

you know what, a major ground assault does play right into the hands of Hizbullah, but what the heck is the alternative, air strikes and commando raids aren't going to do it

BTW, thank you for posting what you do.
It's hard enough ferreting out what's published in English, let alone what the ME says to their own.

More from
Kibbutz Yi'ron (5:39PM Mountain/2:39AM Israel):
When I suddenly decided that discretion was the better part of valor, and headed into my shelter, it was the result of a tremendous barrage of rockets --more than I had previously heard.
Gut feeling: One Hizbollah emplacement came to the conclusion that they won't be in a position to shoot those rockets at me very much longer and decided to let loose with all they have.
Of course, there are many other such emplacements so I can't decide that it is now safe for me to wander over to our orchards and pick some of the apples. (Normally, this would be the time to do so, but they are ripening on the trees and the harvest will be tiny this year. If you are in Israel, look for the prices of apples to skyrocket this year.)
Hey! Would I be guilty of using insider trading information if I bought apple futures right now?

Thanks. My Arabic is not as good as our pal jveritas, but I know enough to get the gist. If I'm not sure, I refrain.

Those men in picture at post 1636 look like they need some body armor. I hope they have it stowed inside their tanks. I'm sure it's warm in the ME right now.
It's a mere 114F here in Phoenix, AZ right now. But we're cooling off to 103 next week, so I'm gonna get out and play some golf next week in the morning.

From what I've been able to find a Saudi Prince, Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, owns about 5.5% of Fox News Corp., as of Sept. 2005. Still checking....

Will that be enough for Syria and Iran to reform?Probably not, but one thing at a time, Syria and Iran may well hear from the Israelis soon enough if provoked...
To: Lizarde
old style army tactics aren't going to work against this situation.
O Contraire' - old style army tactics are the only method that's going to work, i'm talking realy old school military tactics - scorched earth policy. None of this petty crap, move right in mow em' down get the heck out and allow some 3rd party set up shop and keep Hizbullah out

Both Fox News and MSNBC could be right. The Israelis might just be making limited incursions into Hezbollah's mountain border strongholds and other coastal areas tonight.
For what it's worth, Uri Dan, the New York Post's longtime Israel supporter who had close ties to former Israeli PM Sharon thought a ground invasion was imminent within days in his reports for this MORNING's New York Post. The front page of today's New York Post says "INVADE: Israel will send troops into Leb".
Of course, the New York Post got Kerry's veep pick spectacularly wrong, though. So take it with a grain of salt.

CNN: President Emile Lahoud says the Government of Lebanon will give the order to oppose Israel militarily if they enter. "We are close to the point of no return."
