An Israeli soldier waves a tattered Hezbollah flag as he returns from fighting around the southern Lebanese village of Marun Al-Ras to a position along Israel's northeastern border with its neighbour. Israel geared up to intensify its deadly offensive against Lebanon, readying thousands more reservists after claiming it had won the green light from the world to crush Hezbollah.

Hi....thanks for the link to the new thread.

I thought I would let you know what I just heard Alan Colmes say on his radio show.

I don't know what he was saying before I turned to his station..but, just as I switched over to it I heard him say, "Well, at least Saddam kept the people SAFE".."that is more than I can say for the Americans".

Hehehe...THERE is the mindset of the progressive left for you.

Down a little, but it's been a quiet night for the armchair generals. Not so for our Israeli friends and allies.

Terrorist Open Up 3rd Front, Murder Yesha Resident

Arabs in Israel opened up a third front in the terrorist war Thursday, kidnapping and murdering a resident of Samaria and shooting two Border Policemen at a checkpoint at an entrance to Jerusalem.

Hamas and Hizbullah terrorists in Gaza and Lebanon have urged Arabs in Judea and Samaria to open up the third front. Arab citizens in Israel also have called for an all-out war on all fronts against Israel.
