Lovely.
FYI...CNN is showing a special on the bombing of the Marine Barracks in Beirut...so far, it is very good.
thanks
Ze'ev is correct. Israel needs a full all out charge to the Litani, or this will end badly. I'm not insensitive to Israeli casualties, I have relatives in the IDF.
I'm telling you, it's going to be tough to find volunteers for this job. Maybe the US diplomatic tactic is to look busy assembling an international force (could take weeks to find) so Israel can go about its business dismantling. I think us Americans tend to think too black and white when it comes to diplomacy and war as if they are opposite ends of the spectrum, maybe, just maybe they can happen simultaneously and for extended lenghts of time.
Australian FM: 'Limited' peacekeeping force to be offered in Lebanon
The United States has asked Australia to contribute troops to a proposed peacekeeping force in war-torn Lebanon, but any Australian contingent would be "very limited," its foreign minister said Sunday.
Alexander Downer said US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice made the request when the pair met in Malaysia last week at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations security summit. (AP)

Lack of Safety Is Charged in Nuclear Site Cleanup
By SARAH KERSHAW and MATTHEW L. WALD
The New York Times
February 20, 2004
RICHLAND, Wash. — For almost half a century, the hulking factories across a vast nuclear reservation here churned out the plutonium for most of the nation's nuclear weapons stockpile, including the bomb used on Nagasaki.

N.Korean missile broke up soon after launch - reports
TOKYO (Reuters) - The Taepodong-2 long-range missile test-fired by North Korea on July 5 broke up and fell back to earth just after its launch, making its flight much shorter than previously believed, media reports said on Sunday.
The Japanese government had previously said the Taepodong-2 fell into the Sea of Japan about 640 km from the launch site.
Sources quoted by Kyodo news agency said the missile exploded in mid-air within 1.5 km of the launch site, either in a northeastern region of North Korea or in its territorial waters on the edge of the Sea of Japan.
Experts have said the missile is potentially capable of hitting parts of U.S. territory.
The problem was most likely due to difficulties with the missile's boosters, sources quoted by the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper said.
A Japanese government official quoted by the Yomiuri said the new analysis, which will be included in a report to be issued by the government early next month, indicated that North Korea's missile technology was still immature.
"It will likely take a long time for North Korea to launch a Taepodong-2 again," he added.

It's 85 in DC!
About the bodyguard for Osama that is to be on CBS...that is likely a different man from the prisoner in Gitmo. That one was Osama's DRIVER rather than his bodyguard. He is most definetly locked up.
O.K. you win! LOL!
That would have been cool, maybe the temp at 3 or 4 in the morning this time of year where I grew up....
Thanks for the heads up
