Don't know - but anyone crazy enough to use nuclear bombs against Israel wouldn't care about such things.

Of course an atom bomb attack against Israel would also have devastating effects on the Arabs in Gaza, the West Bank and possibly even Jordan.

(Even before the Israeli retaliation, that is.....)

Thanks for the thread!

Per FNC this morning: The UN is going to be delivering humanitarian relief to Lebanon.

Is anyone going to inspect what's being delivered to ensure that humanitarian aid is all that's in those shipments?

Those pictures will be priceless through your lifetime, and what great stories for your kids and grandkids. That's so neat about seeing his palaces and his throne after being dethroned.

About the spiders........I hope you got even with those guys creeping you out with the dead ones, lol! Makes my skin crawl and itch just to picture them in my mind.

Thank you very much for your service. :)

He's the Boris Betanov looking guy. Rehov seems like a pretty good dude.

I wanted to strangle that Jan Egeland the other day, and then just now.

IronJack's terrific thread on Mr. Stingy.

"Stingy" This, Mr. Egeland

He seemed like a serious journalist and if CNN had done the interview, I'm quite sure the part about why the jihadists granted him access would have been lost on the cutting room floor.

[Rte66]

The UN, huh? I heard it was the *French.* Seriesly.

[Jezebelle]

Agree 100%, and not just CNN. Picture Blather doing the interview.

Hey ya'al, i'll be continuing my comprehensive coverage of the war at my site Does anyone know how the Lebanese gov't has knowledge of the kidnapped soldiers if they are not colaborating with Hizbollah?

[Allegra]

My reaction that one is unprintable in a family forum.

Thanks for the ping Burbank Karl.

12:24 Lebanese FM: IDF hostages are in good physical condition (Channel 10)

So why isn't the UN screaming about how Hamas and Hezbollah are violating the Geneva Convention with regard to the Israeli soldiers being held hostage?

[mewzilla]

I'll bet humanitarian aid won't be all that's in those shipments...

Here's hoping the UN gets caught trying to smuggle something other than humanitarian aid into Lebanon.

how Hamas and Hezbollah are violating the Geneva Convention

The U.S. and Israel are the only ones held to the standards of the convention.

Tell me I did NOT hear this on Fox

"You don't necessarily want a fair fight" - Have not had coffee yet

[somemoreequalthanothers]

I just turned FOX on for the first time this weekend. Pinkerton did a good job of explaining reality.

[SE Mom]

See? I knew there was a reason I hadn't turned the TV on yet! So I wouldn't have to listen to that kind of nonsense. On my first cuppa..

[don-o]

I suppose he did. It was just a Captain Obvious statement.

[mewzilla]

No-one should miss this.

Good Morning Meg

I remember staying up during the first Gulf War my son-in-law was on the front lines, I prayed 24 hours with bible open for his safety. Recently I was priviledged to give my Granddaughter letters her Father sent me during that war, needless to say she was in awe.
