Thanks - that's why I didn't know the name. No cable.

Perhaps the martyrs provided obituaries by Hezebola are higher-ups, but I haven't found any data on them.

I agree with you. I don't see a full-fledged civil war happening here. Sectarian fighting is limited to a few pockets - like Sadr City. We just don't see it outside of that.

And yet, the usual hand-wringers have tried to convince us that a civil war was imminnet in Iraq.

Professionals, bah!

11:56 Israel time July 23. IDF troops capture ridge overlooking Lebanese town of Bint Jbail

This ridge is critical for an attack on Bint Jbail, Hezbollah command center for the central part of the border. The ridge sits 600 feet above Bint Jbail. I would expect an attack into Bint Jbail today or tonight.

Looks more like taking ol' one-eye to the urologist.

imminnet = imminent

Apparently early symptoms of Allegritis.

That IS interesting. Thanks for pointing it out.

I am here for an hour or so until I leave for early mass.

That thought also crossed my mind -- the others may just be the usual local fodder thrown in front of the guns.

Most of the "martyrs" have been over 30 years old (see thread from yesterday) - none in their twenties. I think you are right - this is not the ordinary cannon fodder.

No cable, so I didn't know. Poor old dialup, too - took me 10 passes to get rebel_yell2's photos loaded, but it was worth the wait to see 'em.

I'm right at the loop, just outside. Where I live now is rough without the K-people, so they have made it extra-bad.

Credit goes to FR prayer warriors, however - keeping fingers crossed, last time I said this, it jinxed it - I asked for help after I had to call the cops and they've been *relatively* quiet ever since then (Juneteenth, it was - ask me how I remember that).

And no, all of SW Houston is not rough - much further out west there are parts that are. This is a nice residential neighborhood where I've lived for 13 years - however, I'm now a few blocks away from my old house and light years from civilization, in the pits of it due to a financial crisis.

Not silently. It was ordered last week, and the story broke publicly Wednesday, here:

WoW! 60s sound wonderful. I *think* there are some high 70s around here, but not *right here.*

Completely useless but the bureaucrats and the politicos will get their free dinners and TV time, so then it's worth it.
