"In some ways it's worse than DU or huffington!"

Oh it's way worse. Wait until you run into leftist Greg Potemkin, who is about as brilliant at Ward Churchill. He is there to promote his own style of hate with the shia there, (although they certainly have enough of their own). There is also Ali Hussain (or something like that), who appears to have gone over the edge and is probably on a watch list.

Voinovich is on Caviuto. He is backing Bolton. He has seen what those rockets can do. He admits he has changed his views on Bolton, say that he is not sure of what others will do in regard to the vote.We need someone to speak for us at the UN.

Well we are giving it our besr shot, some would debate the specifics of troop numbers and strategy, but no one else would even try to advance the MidEast. I remember reading an article titled, "Our World Historical Gamble", think it was TechCentralStation. I thought then as I do now that it is worth it because as long as there is an ideologocally regressive force in the world that has access to wealth, we would never be safe anyway. If we wanted a challenge we sure got it, the MidEast being worse than the Balkans. if we pull this off over the next 5 - 10 years...we'll be up there with the Romans. Of course they were always at war with somone..oh well...

There was no element of surprise in Hezbollah's deployment," Yadlin said. "During the past year, we passed intelligence assessments on to the decision-making level, including comprehensive information on long-range missiles supplied to Hezbollah."

It is the same story again and again the decision makers are not listening to what the intel provides.

I'm still struggling with the fact that, so far, Syria and IRan have not intervened to save their proxies.

This will not bode well for their credibility as they try to solicit future proxies to go up against Israel, or the US for that matter.

They simply MUST act with their national, flagged military forces...even if they lose spectacularly. And they would.

To do less means further isolation...and fewer allies. In fact, they could probably lose a couple of divisions each and preserve their national integrity...and save a little face.

Are they nothing more thatn blustering cowards?!?!?!? :)

At the least, Hezebola will fight Israel alone until the awaited international force arrives, giving Hezebola increased political standing within Lebanon as the only party that stood up to Israel.

It's too early to talk about offensive objectives. Too many delicate negotations underway, too many operations underway, in public, I just stick to what's going on right now, and not even all of that.

They have a rabbi on Cavuito, who says Israel should not exist.

Rabbi Yisroel Weiss is saying that Israel brought on all this by antagonizing other countries.

He is so far to the right he is left.

Yes, but without any Soviet on the scene, with the US directly involved on the ground in the Middle East the Syrians can't cuount on the war being stopped when they are up against the ropes. They may actually gamble Damascus this time - are they up to that?

And what would happen to the ruling Baathists?
