While we're at it, can we loan them a Birdfarm or two.

I hope its not 10 days, although I fear it is. If they don't clear out the Bekaa, its all going to come back to haunt them.

Watch the pro-terrorist side complain. To which we should respond with, "Okay, let's give 'em a bunch of old WW2 dumbfire carpetbombs and an old B-29."

They should be happy that we're giving them quality, guided ordinance to minimize civilian casualties. But they won't be.

The Arabs all don't want to be seen as siding with Israel, so why has the price of gas not gone through the roof? I think it is because the Arab states that sell us oil are far more comfortable with Israel winning than with Iran winning. They know that atomic weapons in the hands of the Iranians will threaten them as much as they threaten Israel.

Anyone know how these "bunker-busters" work? Are they nukes?

Anyone know anything about neutron bombs? Do we even have them anymore?

I don't even beleive this report. Israel has been planning this response for quite some time. These are 2 enemys that know each other very well. Why would Israel be lacking supplies?

One might think the world would be thrilled that the US is suppling these precision guided bombs so that Israel can very accurately target the terrorists. The other option is what? carpet bomb Lebanon? Maybe that is what others want, who knows?

The American government is rushing a shipment of precision bombs to Israel, which is carrying out a 10-day plan to weaken Hizbullah before foreign pressure forces a cease fire.

This is INSANE.....Shipping bombs to Israel IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR!......

.....these things should have been sent to them months ago...

Greater accuracy and penetration to eradicate the bunkers. Sounds like a winner to me.

"The Bush Administration has given Israel approximately two weeks to continue attacks on the Hizbullah terrorist infrastructure before negotiations should begin..."

Why are we dictating conditions to Israel? If Cuba bombed us, would we listen to dictates from Israel?

I would prefer a sustained carpet bombing campaign. However, let's ring their doorbells with a few MOAB's to see if it will help the swine focus what's left of their minds.
