First thing in the morning that I have done since 1987 was to stumble over to the computer and check messages. Back in '87 it was bulletin board systems...'94 it was the internet. Don't even make coffee most days til I've been up over an hour or so.
I'm one of those disgusting people who wake up and can most days just get up and out of bed. Before I got married in 99, I was getting along on 4-5 hours sleep for years. Then I had more reason to want to be in bed and discovered how sleep deprived I'd been all these years. But I seldom sleep longer than 7 hours...and six is pretty common.
Yes, we do exhort one another to prayer and scripture around here!!
What a fascinating career I'm sure you've had!
Kinda interesting that a Jew discovered the bomb, too, isn't it?
That is the context in which people who refuse to sit back and swallow the Theater of Jihad are viewing Qana. Reuven Koret at Israel Insider goes behind the scenes:
Lebanese rescue teams did not start evacuating the building until the morning and only after the camera crews came. The absence of a real rescue effort was explained by saying that equipment was lacking. There were no scenes of live or injured people being extracted.
There was little blood, CNN's Wedeman noted: all the victims, he concluded, appeared to have died while as they were sleeping -- sleeping, apparently, through thunderous Israeli air attacks. Rescue workers equipped with cameras were removing the bodies from the same opening in the collapsed structure. Journalists were not allowed near the collapsed building.
Rescue workers filmed as they went carried the victims on the stretchers, occasionally flipping up the blankets so that cameras could show the faces and bodies of the dead.
But Israelis steeled to scenes of carnage from Palestinian suicide bombings and Hezbollah rocket attack could not help but notice that these victims did not look like our victims. Their faces were ashen gray. While medical examination clearly is called for to arrive at a definitive dating and cause of their deaths, they do not appear to have died hours before. The bodies looked like they had been dead for days.
Viewers can judge for themselves. But the accumulating evidence suggests another explanation for what happened at Kana. The scenario would be a setup in which the time between the initial Israeli bombing near the building and morning reports of its collapse would have been used to "plant" bodies killed in previous fighting -- reports in previous days indicated that nearby Tyre was used as a temporary morgue -- place them in the basement, and then engineer a "controlled demolition" to fake another Israeli attack.
The well-documented use by Palestinians of this kind of faked footage -- from the alleged shooting of Mohammed Dura in Gaza, scenes from Jenin of "dead" victims falling off gurneys and then climbing back on -- have merited the creation of a new film genre called "Palliwood."
There is increasing evidence that the Kana sequel is another episode in this genre, a variety which might be called Hezbollywood. The Hezbollah have evidently learned their craft well.
EU Referendum looks closer. Dan Riehl looks closer. Allah Pundit looks closer. Ms. Understimated looks closer.
Amazing how many talking heads think they are what the Wizard of Oz projected himself to be...all wise and all knowing.
From your lips to God's ears. Let it be so.
Yes, my hero is Albert Einstein! (I'm sure not a surprise!!)

Thanks.
That turned out to be a great link.

At end went quickly through list of five points Israel wants assurance of at end to this (didn't catch them).

Yep. It probably never occurred to Suzanne that listeners could question how she might know such a thing.
I saw the letter he wrote to President Roosevelt about it and the typewriter he typed it on at a museum, don't want to say exactly where. I was really astounded by that.
