UBL has made this clear with his statement today..This is his strategy; to unite Shiah & Sunni..(even though he detests the former). We may be in for a long stretch with this one..

Count on Hillary to make a trip over real soon. Can't have Condi getting all the press, you know.

Well the Hezbo-Nazis have had 6 years to turn southern Lebanon into a terrorist fortress, without the slightest hindrance from the UN....... I sure hope that the IDF can eradicate the rodents without too many losses of their own. It's going to be a mess for awhile, and the spineless left and Islamo-fascists will be pumping non-stop propaganda into the media. Prepare for more bogus "atrocity" stories than we have ever seen before.......

I would like your opinion on whether you think there is a "cause/effect" between what is happening in Israel and Lebanon and the ratcheting up in Sunni v. Shi'ite atrocities in Iraq right now?

I know the S v. S stuff in Iraq started BEFORE Lebanon kidnapped the Israeli soldiers...but, we all speculated at that time it might be to distract from Iran.

I am not saying I think this...but, I am just wondering what kind of "ties" there might be.

Perhaps BJ Clinton will change his citizenship to qualify as Secretary General? Remember the "he's moving to Ireland rumors?"

Shias and Sunnis are not likely to unite. Possible, but not likely.

Perhaps, but she is a smart person. And continues to delineate clearly the distinction that it is Israel v Hezbollah not Israel v legitimate Lebanese gov't.

Condi: "People have to be strong."

Indeed. With Ahmadinejihad's threats (whether real or bluff), the time is now.

What was UBL's statement today? I heard he was going to make one but haven't heard the content. Been sneaking on to FR here and there today.

Why does the phrase "pregnant moment" keep coming to mind?

Another perhaps;)

Only consolation is that UN is getting progressively weaker. Besides, few people could match Kofi in greed, arrogance, and buyability.

I just read that 3 or 4 ground divisions are sitting on the Leb/Isr. border.

UBL/AQ are extremely pissed at the House of Saud/Egypt/Jordan, but the Muslim population in general can jin up even more displeasure at the 'Zionists'

Quite possible, IMHO

I BETCHA Maddie will be on CNN this afternoon just totally slamming this move by Bush..and Condi's speech and answers.

I mean they were caught about North Korea..and they STILL go around blaming it on Bush.

I think the DEMS are terrified that this Israel/Lebanon thing could turn out WELL public relations-wise for President Bush..and really close to the elections.

Therefore, they have to do anything they can to make this NOT be right.
