An Israeli soldier scouts the area near the Israel-Lebanon border, July 20, 2006.
Nite, Sleuth... I've had a busy day today and it makes me tired... not as tired as taking care of babies, though. Sleep tight.
I think if Hillary became President I might not want to live here, and if it was someone like her had Oprah as VP, then we'd be nothing but a joke.
MBT rounds travel about five faster than anti-tank rockets.
Make that "5 times".
"There can be many variations on this theme, but these elements are inevitable:
1. Hezbollah cannot be defeated without entering the Bekaa Valley, at the very least.
2. At some point, resistance in southern Lebanon must be dealt with, regardless of the cost.
3. Rocket attacks against northern Israel and even Tel Aviv must be accepted while the campaign unfolds.
4. The real challenge will come when Israel tries to withdraw.
No. 4 is the real challenge. Destruction of Hezbollah's infrastructure does not mean annihilation of the force. If Israel withdraws, Hezbollah or a successor organization will regroup. If Israel remains, it can wind up in the position the United States is in Iraq. This is exactly what Hezbollah wants. So, Israel can buy time, or Israel can occupy and pay the cost. One or the other.
The other solution is to shift the occupational burden to another power that is motivated to prevent the re-emergence of an anti-Israeli military force -- as that is what Hezbollah has become. The Lebanese government is the only possible alternative, but not a particularly capable one, reflecting the deep rifts in Lebanon.
Israel has one other choice, which is to extend the campaign to defeat Syria as well." -- Stratfor

That was then this is now...death to Iran Aq Hez..the whole bunch will rot in hell
Nite Sleuthy...sweet dreams..
Thank you...you too.
That was back in the days when civilians knew, and could get out of the way. Now a days, the illegal enemy
combatants use the civilians to wage a propaganda war as well.
Thank you Eurofairies, Shep Smith, Brian Williams and other anti-American/anti-Western civilization wackos.
"MBT rounds travel about five faster than anti-tank rockets."
Didn't know that. Thanks. According to YNET, the Israeli army has been busy overnight.

and Major Garrett if I may interject!
A lot of folks are over at the new ME live thread
The channel broadcasts "dead air" throughout the Sabbath and holidays, when listening to radio is religiously proscribed.
One is to turn on the radio to the proper wavelength (see list below), and set it at a moderate volume before the onset of the Sabbath or holiday. The station will remain silent in order not to cause a disturbance, only coming on-air when an emergency announcement is necessary.
Senior rabbinic leaders throughout Israel (and abroad), including the Chief Rabbinate accept the need for the network, due to its lifesaving aspect ("Pikuach Nefesh doche' Shabbat" - "Saving a life precludes the Sabbath"), and have given it their official Halachic (Jewish Law) seal-of-approval.
That hard-headed, hard-learned, commonsense practicality is the difference between Judaism and, well, those trying to kill us. On the other hand, it's also been said that:
"Jews have the accumulated wisdom of the ages, enabling them to get out of difficult situations no sensible gentile would have allowed himself to get into in the first place." (anon) The bandwidths are:
Haifa area: 98.5 FM
Tzfat and surrounding areas: 95.7 FM
Carmiel: 95.2 FM
Tiberias: 100.2 FM
May it remain silent."
Amen..may it remain silent
I didn't even notice that Rick Folbaum was gone! I call him the lipstick guy. When he covered the Iraq war in the beginning he was wearing noticeable heavy lipstick. I emailed him and Fox News and magically the lipstick was way toned down!
It's amazing. I read this same news about 30 mins. ago. I guess it's true that GMTA!
Wise, indeed.
A long, long way. And BTW has anyone heard a peep from Nasrallah lately?
from "Live from an Israeli Bunker"...
