Does Peters have any military training or background? I've read him, and usually like him but if he's just a journalist, I have no interest in listening to his analysis of the Israeli military area so far.

LOLOL! Mr. Prairie is drooling over Juliette. We haven't watched Weekend Fox&Friends for months and months. But always liked her for eye candy.

Repeated assaults against prepared positions are simply not something the Israelis can do, because they cannot afford casualties.

If the Israelis don't like this, the "international force" proposed is going to like this even less.

Bolton says the Israeli troops are massing to eliminate the missile launch points. Create a buffer zone.

Question is why Lebanese govt doesn't reign in Hezbollah.

Bolton says govt is too new, too weak. Hezbollah gets a lot of syrian support.

Gee I wish Peach was here for transcripting, but know she's taking a bit of a break.

Just what I was afraid of. I hope the libs aren't proven wrong in this way.

From the article you posted:

WMD hunt on in Lebanon
Report: Hizb'allah poised to launch 'dirty bomb' strike

By Ryan Jones
July 21, 2006

Israeli commandoes are hunting day and night behind enemy lines in Lebanon and Syria for weapons of mass destruction believed to be in the possession of Hizb'allah, reported WorldNetDaily's Aaron Klein in his Galil Report.

It is widely believed that former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein transfered his stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons to Syria just months prior to US invasion in March 2003. Many of those weapons were then passed on to Hizb'allah, which has a freer hand to act against Israel than its Syrian sponsors.

Klein reported that special teams of IDF Druze commandoes - chosen because of their ability to blend in to the local Arab populations - have orders to destroy long-range Iranian missiles and any chemical weapons they find, after first documenting their existence.

Bolton tells the truth but it's a tall order and will be a huge pill for the arab world and hezbollah supporters and sponsors to swallow...

Trying to catch up on the thread and it may have already been thought of..........

What this area needs is an enema, not a huge pill.

I keep hearing a long range plan theme in Bolton's comments. Also Tony Snow's. Not applying bandaids anymore, going after the root problem.

LOL! Question to Bolton as to his thoughts about the UN, is it useless?

Bolton stops short of callig it useless, but makes no apologies about wanting to promote American interests and utilize the UN to facilitate that. (Major undertaking IMO)
