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.

Yes. Map 107 is actually a better choice than the one I posted.

"Smart mouth", the curse of our position in the birth order.

LOL - my parents used to call me that. "OK, Smart-Mouth, that's it. To your room."

Ahhh, memories...

By the time I was an older teenager, they found me a lot more amusing.

I've been called 'Smartass' and 'Smart mouth' more than I have my given first name, and I'm the youngest of three.

All motivators fall under the heading of "carrot" or "stick".

Motivation was not the subject under discussion however. The subject was the Rapid Dominance doctrine, and whether it achieved our objectives in Iraq or not.

It did.

Discussion of whether the objectives were correctly identified or not is another subject, one beyond the scope of this poster at this time.

Probably been posted before
but here is Lebanon overview map. The relatively nearness of Damascus is starkly obvious.

Out of courtesy to various connection speeds, I won't post. Some of these maps are 400 kb and up and it does get to be a drag.

Thank you...

for all the good it did.. Now I am getting flamed in FReepmail....

sheeshk. All I did was try and keep us all peaceful and from hurting each other- and now I am the target... LOL!

nice!

but I am big enough to take it... I figure if they are blowing off steam at me- then at least that keeps someone else off the bullseye...

LOL! I am nice like that!

;-)

And its 'other' cream, as well.]

Can't wait for the day it is 'apply directly to the anus' 3x's in a row. Fox doesn't need my advice(hear the butt monkey?) but, I wish they could get some quality ads that they could charge more and run less often.

They did nothing to stop it.

And they did nothing to stop the tunneling and bunker building. They did not even inform Israel. And they was a group of Irish UN Peacekeepers that were kept 'whiskey'ed up' most of the time.
