but before I do, in the oh jeez category: James Zogby: What Must Be Done in Lebanon

"As to whether Hizbullah should be disarmed, 41% of all Lebanese disagreed, with only 6% agreeing. Another 31% said they would support disarmament, but only if Hizbullah agreed to it. But it is important to note that 79% of all Shi'a, approximately 40 % of Lebanon's population, opposed disarming Hizbullah."

Firefighters Battling Blazes Caused by Rockets

15:01 Jul 28, '06 / 3 Av 5766

(IsraelNN.com) Firefighters from the ground and air are battling raging forest fires throughout the Galilee following Friday afternoon's weave of rocket attacks by Hizbullah terrorists. More than a dozen Katyushas exploded in the areas of Ma'alot, Carmiel, Rosh Pina and Kiryat Shmona, where several people were treated for light injuries and shock.

The fires are a daily occurrence in open areas where the rockets frequently fall without causing injury. More than half a million trees, a valuable part of Israel's limited nature reserves, have been destroyed by the terrorist attacks. The trees are exceptionally dry due to the lack of rain since the end of the winter several months ago.

Check out this article from CBS news: http://cbs3.com/topstories/topstories_story_209204921.html

Report: Israel Underestimated Hezbollah’s Strength Will Lebanon Become Israel's Iraq? (CBS News) Israel has made so little progress in destroying Hezbollah that some U.S. intelligence analysts now say the attempt to create a buffer zone in southern Lebanon has bogged down, reports CBS News national security correspondent David Martin.

Interesting read, I wonder if the author provided oral pleasure to his subject matter?
