7/22 Middle East Live Thread
Middle East Live Thread ^ | 7/22/06 | me

Posted on 07/21/2006 10:12:59 PM PDT by BurbankKarl

An Israeli soldier maneuvers an armored personnel carrier at their position along the Israeli Lebanese border. Israel was amassing thousands more reservists on the Lebanese border to stage ground incursions aimed at destroying Hezbollah positions, warning it would not rule out a full-scale invasion despite mounting calls for a ceasefire.

I haven't seen U.S. TV commercials in eight months. (Including whatever premiered during the Super Bowl.)

Sounds like I'm not missing much. ;-)

All that lovely, valuable real estate on the East River...

I never thought I would be one of those nuts calling for the UN to get out of the US and the US out of the UN, but guess what? I AM NOW....

I heart John Bolton though.

I've been one of those since early '03. ;-)

You're right, though...Bolton rocks. I knew he was the right man for the job when Nancy Pelosi started whining about how "John Bolton has always been a big critic of the U.N."

looks like the Iranians are thinking long term and that hizbullah will remain largely intact after this fight, i guess don't expect anything from them during this round. sounds a lot different than the rhetoric the other day about "the great news for the Muslim people"

Incredible link. Excerpt follows.

Inside the vehicles, UN peacekeepers found UN insignia, uniforms and license plates along with weapons and explosives," Goksel said.

Oh no.

Also irritating if not inappropriate on a serious thread.

There are a lot of posts on these threads that provide some levity and have nothing to do with the subject matter. So if you're going to go after >4but=30, you're going to have to go after quite a few other posters. He's not spamming the thread. He usually posts it once as his 'wake up' post. Don't sweat the little things...life is too short. ;o)

That commercial came to mind when I saw this pic on Diogenesis' Gotta See thread. I couldn't resist adding a caption:

The Iranians have a new line just about every day.

They have threatened to "wipe Israel off the map", to "hand out a terrifying fate" if Israel disarms Hezbollah, to "inflict crushing losses" on Israel if they strike Syria, and from your post, to "never be brought into the Lebanon war from the military standpoint".

I'm expecting a "Great Mother of all Missile Barrages" statement out of Tehran at any moment.

In fact, it's hard to type this, I'm shaking so hard.

Not from fear.

:-)

That's a beautiful website; thank you for posting it.

I too remember the job the embeds did, for the most part it helped reporters bond with the military in ways they never did before.

You can bet all the Hezboli leaders are in Iran right now. They ain't going to stick around for this. The only good terrorist is in the grave.

Pray for W and Our Troops
Shalom Israel

A blast from the past, pardon the expression. From 1997.

Hizbullah and Unifil predict calm in the South

From the link:

..."The April truce monitoring group is still in operation and it has been in session since August 21," Goksel said, adding that people should be wary of scare-mongering by the media....

Snort.
