Iran's hardline forces should get ready to take revenge on
Israel and the United States for the offensive on Lebanon, the head of the Revolutionary Guards was quoted as saying on Sunday.
"The Basij and Revolutionary Guards should prepare to get even with the Zionists and Americans," Yahya Rahim-Safavi was quoted as telling Islamic militiamen by the conservative Fars news agency.

My two cents - something definitely went down in Qana but the footage we were seeing was not what went down.

Some of the information now trickling out makes me wonder if the footage provided to reporters in the region is nothing but a big hezbo photo op. Gee - ya think?
Oops, just as I type that I look up at the tv again and see ripped shirt guy get up off his stretcher and practically run off.

God bless America, God bless Israel and may God bless the men women of the US Armed Services wherever they may be.
Read earlier this morning that Baghdad had quieted down somewhat with the deployment of US troops back on the street. May it stay that way.
Cheers - D
Second that!
