Something similar happened to me. My parents died 2 months apart a couple of years ago. My older brother died last year and he was the last of my family. It's been very hard at times knowing there's no one left but me but I've built a network family and that helps.

The AT-14 Kornet is nasty, probably only the frontal armor of the Merkava 4 would stand a chance from a direct hit.

First time I watched a full episode of BOR...

Squishy moderate metrosexuals don't do it for me.

Hello,

Thanks for your kind words. Actually, it wasn't up to me, the Docs decided that this was the only option, no way could Mom go home in her current condition.

Glad to be here, MOgirl

that woman she had as a guest is a breath of fresh air - to hear her say that those hispanic marchers were trying to divide America along racial lines (yes that was obvious to all of us)

"i agree ground ops need to root our Hizbullah not just south of the Litani, but also the Bekka and south Beirut. It won't be pretty but it needs to be done"

"The key to the campaign is to understand that Hezbollah has made its strategic decisions. It will not be fighting a mobile war. Israel has lost the strategic initiative: It must fight when Hezbollah has chosen and deal with Hezbollah's challenge. However, given this, Israel does have an operational choice. It can move in a sequential fashion, dealing first with southern Lebanon and then with other issues. It can bypass southern Lebanon and move into the rear areas, returning to southern Lebanon when it is ready. It can attempt to deal with southern Lebanon in detail, while mounting mobile operations in the Bekaa Valley, in the coastal regions and toward south Beirut, or both at the same time.

There are resource and logistical issues involved. Moving simultaneously on all three fronts will put substantial strains on Israel's logistical capability. An encirclement westward on the north side of the Litani, followed by a move toward Beirut while the southern side of the Litani is not secured, poses a serious challenge in re-supply. Moving into the Bekaa means leaving a flank open to the Syrians. We doubt Syria will hit that flank, but then, we don't have to live with the consequences of an intelligence failure. Israel will be sending a lot of force on that line if it chooses that method. Again, since many roads in south Lebanon will not be secure, that limits logistics.

Israel is caught on the horns of a dilemma. Hezbollah has created a situation in which Israel must fight the kind of war it likes the least -- attritional, tactical operations against prepared forces -- or go to the war it prefers, mobile operations, with logistical constraints that make these operations more difficult and dangerous. Moreover, if it does this, it increases the time during which Israeli cities remain under threat. Given clear failures in appreciating Hezbollah's capabilities, Israel must take seriously the possibility that Hezbollah has longer-ranged, anti-personnel rockets that it will use while under attack."

It's too bad they stick to the "you get 60 seconds, I get 60 seconds format" instead of doing just a few quality segments and letting it go at that, no one ever gets near enough time to develop any argument.

Laura is sure looking good these days, what fox.

There are taped O'Reilly segments added into the shows when he's not there.
