Hezbollah terrorists fire a missile from the southern Lebanese city of Tyre.

Ehud Barak = Bill Clinton

End of argument.

Hello,

I am proud to say that I have only witnessed Shep via FR descriptions. Last week I was not able to watch any TV, due to a family situation. I was warned about him in time to save myself major BP problems.

:)

Glad to be here, MOgirl

BiBi up on Hannity now

[Txsleuth]

You are kidding, right??

[freema]

I'm pretty sure you're right, Peach. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing something about warnings, just in the last week. I'm pretty sure I even remember seeing the actual warnings posted on at least one thread.

[JustaCowgirl]

Well, Ehud Barak too. And he does sound like he has a mouthful of marbles, great description. I really think he has a slight speech impediment. The other day he kept talking about Hezbollah 'tweaking' Israel. I finally realized that he was saying 'tricking' Israel.

But the Israeli retired General I'm talking about is a different person. His accent almost sounds Italian, but more so. He was on Cavuto today. He's the one who kept talking about Mullah Mozzarella.

Bibi Netanyahu = Ronald Reagan

End of argument.

[justa-hairyape]

listen to this young soldier now - "they come at us from everywhere" when we enter the villages.

They have been waiting for years. And they did draw Israeli into them. That was obvious when the tank that went after the 2 kidnapped IDF personnel was ambushed by an IED shortly after it crossed the border. This may be Iran's ace in the hole. Demoralize the IDF with a well planned quagmire of ambushes. Hopefully those new bunker busters will be falling soon.

Whenever that Design to Sell show comes on ...I look around my house, and burst out laughing about what one of those women that come in and give a "critical" opinion, would say.

I dare say THEY would probably burst out laughing when the looked at my house...hehe

< If you want to be REALLY shocked, have you watched International Househunters? >

I have. How about the episode where the couple was looking for a home in Paris. If I understodd correctly, the city can say no to a deal because of any amount of reasoning, including if the couple is obese. in this case one of the couple was American. They passed muster and were allowed to buy the home. The teaser for the last segment was them waiting on "personal" approval. Geesh.

At least the homes that are so sky high in CA actually have good plumbing. I'm in awe of what passes for a "nice" bathroom or kitchen on HH International.

[Miss Marple]

The only time I watched HH International, it was a couple who were looking for property in the Caribbean. They finally bought a beautiful house on an island with no way to get on or off but by boat. Yikes! All I could think of was pirates and getting sick with no ambulance and having to shlep all your stuff in by boat. Not me!

[MOgirl]

Hello,

Thanks for asking. Mom is eating well, but she sleeps constantly. We'll just have to see how she does in the coming weeks. She says she likes her new home, and they are taking excellent care of her.

We (thank God) did not lose power. Our city has been pretty messed up with all the storms and folks without power (still about 250K, per news today).

Glad to be here, MOgirl

[Miss Marple]

Bibi says there is a danger of chemical and biological weapons down the road. Now talking about the fear of a world with ayatollahs armed with nuclear weapons.

[umbagi]

You are kidding, right??

Nope. In the segment of interviews with Israeli soldiers -- designed to show how tough the hissies are. He had on his "Y'all look, I'm in the war zone!" outfit, with the khaki shirt, royal blue flak jacket, sleeves rolled dashingly to the elbow...

The star, though, was the 19-year-old IDF hero -- "I fight for my country... If I don't do it, who will do it?"

[Txsleuth]

LOL....maybe the name Shephard Smith is just so jolting right now..that I didn't ignore it...and read too much.

Thanks for pointing that out.

[RDTF]

that segment didn't bother me, I didn't see it that way. I was focused on the Israeli soldiers and what they were saying and they really were fabulous.
