[I still care]

The correspondant on Fox is reporting on an important battle going on in Lebanon. He said Hizbellah seems to be deciding to make a stand near a small town and a "pitched, important battle" is going on right now. They are showing pictures of the war overhead.

A B-52 passed over our house several years ago from a rare stopover at the Jacksonville Air Force Base, and I could here the monster rumbling and coming, I swear, for 2-3 minutes before it ever reached the horizon where I could see it, and 2-3 minutes after it past my visual horizon. It sounded ominous enough for me to want to find a hole to get into, and that was without bombs! (...and I agree with you....I wish the IAF would give the Hizbullah-nazis a real air war.)

Pretty stupid stunt. They are apparently either impatient to meet Allah and their virgins [insert Helen Thomas photo here ] or are getting over-confident.

CNN of course being the Clinton News Network. Where is Christiane I'mnotpoor. Isn't she in her burkha yet?

Bella and Helen Thomas await the terrorists when they take the Paradise Express: "Oh, Allah: YOU SENT ME THE WRONG WAY!!!!"

Teh Pallys started a civil war there.

Hezbollah: etymology and meaning
from Wikipedia, but sounds accurate nonetheless

---

The name حزب الله, which has its stress on the final syllable, is transliterated from the Arabic in a number of ways. Both Hizbollah and Hezballah are common transliterations into other languages with a Latin-based alphabet, such as French, Spanish, Italian and the Nordic languages. It may, however, also be written as Hizballah or Hisbollah, and the literal Arabic version Hizb Allah, which is used by Al Jazeera. 'Hizb' (party) is the Modern Standard Arabic pronunciation, and 'Hezb' is closer to Persian and to Lebanese dialect. The 'h' is pharyngeal in Arabic, but a normal 'h' sound in Persian. The '-llah' ending, originally 'Allah', means '(the) God'. The name is derived from a Qur'anic aayat (verse) referring to those who belong to and follow the 'Party of God'.

Whatever...I used to call them "towel-heads", but I've been corrected. The thing they wrap their heads in is, I'm told, not a towel. It is, I'm told, a little sheet. Therefore, I will henceforth refer to them as "little sheet-heads".

A Freeper used what IMHO, is the almost PERFECT description:

"Koranimals".

My first car was a Galaxy 500. It was not much of a "young man's car" but it was free and was loaded with a 350 V-8 Engine. My second car was a 1963 Jeep CJ-5 which was a 3 speed manual that went 55MPH floored. I also had a Chevy Celebrity as my first compay car. Of all those early cars, the Jeep was my favorite.
