Jennifer Griffin came on and said Israel was going into Lebanon with bulldozers. They are leveling and dynamiting houses

I have speculated that the bunker systems that Hezbollah has built in Southern Lebanon would logically be constructed to interconnect underneath existing dwellings with multiple entrances via these dwellings. That would hide the construction work from overhead surveillance and would make it very difficult to find the bunkers with anything less than a very dangerous house to house search.

The solution is to level the houses. That would seem like the only solution. You can bomb them Dresden style but in this PC world you have to use bulldozers so you don't hurt any innocent civilians.

Now I'm just guessing. Do we have any hard data?

Thanks for that information. I had to just stick with getting my news here for a while. I hope they level anything they see fit to level. It took 6 years to build their evil fortifications. It may take more than a week or so to undo it all. It all has to go.

Unbelievable...that link regarding Howard.

What's gotten into the Left today? Why can't they study what happens to civilizations that appease and ignore dangerous governments having expansionist dreams?

I mean even Israel is coping with an anti-war left!

She was only on once. Her producer I think she said, is up near the border watching it and was reporting back to her. Haven't heard anything since. But, Israel has leveled buildings before so I wouldn't be surprised that it's true.

It's STUNNING how much in denial the Left is about the danger of Islamic extremism.

Amazing, isn't it, and their children, their mothers and fathers and friends are in the same danger as the rest of us. They are equally vulnerable to the murderous propensities of these evil people. I wish they could be taught a lesson without the attendant loss.

This is the first time I've really watched the news today. I did watch Fox with Eric Burns. The only really sane one on there was Cal Thomas.

"All the world's been awatchin'" all along.

Israel should flip the bird to the rest of the world and destroy Hezbollah...even if they have to march all the way to Beruit.

BTW, it was reported recently on FOXNEWS that the reason Haifa did not suffer any of the 80 rockets fired on Israel today was because Israel said if Haifa was struck, it would be open season on the tallest buildings in Beruit.

I did watch Fox with Eric Burns.

We had another momentary power outage so I was spared Neil Gabler. This was probably a good thing. It is back now and I am so thankful because all of those 100 degree days are headed our way. Besides, the IDF needs me in the cheering section where I will dutifully be :)

No they haven't. How many news organizations were reporting non-stop from the Israel Lebanon border in the past 5 years? No one was watching. The world's focus has been on Afghanistan and Iraq....oh and on the greatest threat to all mankind, George Bush. /s

All we can do at this point is guess, surmise, wonder and hope...

LOL I love your tagline. I loved the video and emailed the link out.


We had a power outage Friday. It went off around 12:30 in the morning and didn't go back on until 8 in the morning. It was so hot and humid here I finally fell asleep around 4 am and woke back up at 6:30. My son was sweating so bad he stayed up until the power went back on.

Firefighters were still recovering bodies when I was there.

In March of 2002? OMG. How quickly we forget.

Seeing that is a vivid, painful memory and I suspect it will remain that way for the rest of my life.

Probably so.

I was chatting with my editor yesterday and he said that when he was nine, he saw a man driving a car at the bottom of a hill. There were parked cars, and a little 3 year-old girl ran out from between the cars, to chase a ball. She got hit, and died.

My editor said that to this day, over 50 years later, in his mind he can still hear the sickening "thump" of the sound of that little girl being hit.

I suspect that most human beings, if they live long enough, have these painful, unforgettable memories.

We just all have to pray for each other and stick together.

Got that, world?! LOL!

On 9-11 he watched his friends jump.

OMG. That is horrible. Actually, horrible doesn't even come close to describing it, because it is beyond words.

Thank you for your post, and please see my #599 on this thread, about unforgettable, painful memories.
