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 have to go grocery shopping..UGH..

Lemme freepmail you my list, if you would be so kind.

Great war pic, but you misidentified the group. That's the Syrian Air Force waiting on the runways.

[Mr Cobol]

96.9 went to break for the rest of the hr. She's repeat now on WABC.

[SE Mom]

Yep...there's plenty of psych-ops, propaganda and dis-info out there for all to nip at :)

Cnn is wildly hysterical about people trying to get out. Many cities and villages are deserted per Wiederman but some people don't want to leave. Most of the population along the border have in fact left -

Sounds like the news reports leading up to Hurricane Rita. ;-)

If you link directly to a photo on another website, you are pulling its bandwidth. Extra bandwidth usage for a website owner can mean extra cost.

They've knocked out the TV and telephones. That's really going to piss off the Arabs.

I would suggest signing up for CNN's pipeline, you can get the first 14 days and $2.95 a month thereafter if you choose to. If your computer can handle it, some people have had trouble loading it.

wouldnt THAT be something if there were two little villages next to Tyre, named "Spare" and "Flat" ?

That's the Syrian Air Force waiting on the runways.

[voiceinthewind]

I wonder if they have a terminology list they have to use.

[Mr Cobol]

Monica Crowley has a show on MSNBC I think it is. Also SIL of Alan Colmes.

[Allegra]

wouldnt THAT be something if there were two little villages next to Tyre, named "Spare" and "Flat" ?

And then there's that little one-stoplight town called "Radial."

Lebanese youths look at a leaflet, thrown by Israeli forces, in the southern port city of Sidon, Lebanon, Saturday, July 22, 2006, with a cartoon depicting Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah hiding behind a shield to which is tied a Lebanese man with a woman and child, shouting, 'The ones guarding us are really robbing us'. Israeli tanks and hundreds of troops took control of a Lebanon village, entered a U.N. observation post and engaged Hezbollah militants by land, sea and air as part of their military ground campaign.
