Interesting, first time I've heard them disclose "IAF drone fires rocket".
Off to take sick and injured 18 year old a care package for his birthday. He's got a bronchial cough and a beat up hand. He won't stop smoking, and he's one of those who evidently get the smoker's bronchitis easy, and he's running a fever.
But he won't leave brother's to come home so mom can take care of him, so mom is going to the store for soup and other goodies to help him feel better.
Back maybe in a hour.
Thanks, Peach. I'm sticking with you.
Those cruel heartless bastards! And lots of other bad words that would get me banned.
And those poor babies. I do believe we love them more sitting half way around the world, viewing their dead bodies, than the people who should have loved and protected them were capable of...
Golda was right: There can be no peace until they love their children more than they hate us.

Thanks. I'll wait here for your posts.
Didn't Golda Mier say something like "We can forgive you killing our sons, what we can't forgive is you making us kill yours".
FNC says they are waiting for Israeli PM to talk about Hezbollah.
The momentum is irretrievable.
"nowhere to go" -- how about ANYWHERE BUT HERE! ?
LOL. I think you have something there.
Per Rush....Bibi delayed about 15 minutes.
From the haretz paper:
Cry to those using babies
By Naomi Ragen
My son is in the army. He is not the type at all, believe me. Quiet, studious, a writer, a lover of Jewish history, Talmud, ethics. He spent two years in a pre-army program in the Galilee called Karmei Hayil. He made many good friends there from all over the country, and now he and all his friends are in the army.
One of them I know well. A bit chubby, with payot (sidelocks) and a great laugh. He and my son have become like brothers. While both of them tried out for the elite paratroopers unit, only his friend made it in. He and his unit are the ones in Lebanon. They were there over a week, fighting under horrific conditions, running out of food and water. Even though the Israel Air Force dropped tons of leaflets warning civilians to flee because they were in terrorist territory and likely to be injured, they still encountered civilians.
My son spoke to his friend yesterday, and this is how he described it: "The village looked empty, and then we heard noises coming from one of the houses, so we opened fire. But when we went inside, we found two women and a child huddled in the corner of the room. We were so relieved we hadn't hurt them. We took up base in one of the empty houses. And then all of a sudden, we came under intense fire. Three rockets were fired at the house we were in. Only one managed to destroy a wall, which fell on one of us, covering him in white dust, but otherwise not hurting him.
"I spent the whole time feeding bullets to my friend who was shooting nonstop. We managed to kill 26 terrorists. Not one of us was hurt. Our commanding officer kept walking around, touching everybody on the shoulder, smiling and encouraging us: 'We're are better than they are. Don't worry.' It calmed us all down. And really, we were much better than them. They are a lousy army. They only win when they hide behind baby carriages."
Please remember this when you hear about the "atrocity" of the Israeli bomb that killed many civilians in Kafr Qana, a place from which Hezbollah has fired hundreds of rockets at Israel. Unlike previous administrations, Mr. Olmert has my respect when he says: "They were warned to leave. It is the responsibility of Hezbollah for firing rockets amid civilians."
Terrorists and their supporters have lost the right to complain about civilian casualties, since all they have is one goal: this entire war is to target civilians. Every single one of the more than 2,500 rockets launched into Israel, is launched into populated towns filled with women and children. Just today, another explosive belt meant to kill civilians in Israel was detonated harmlessly by our forces in Nablus.
So don't cry to me about civilian casualties. Cry to those using babies and wives and mothers; cry to those who store weapons in mosques, ambulances, hospitals and private homes. Cry to those launching deadly rockets from the backyards of kindergartens and schools. Cry to the heartless men who love death, and however many of their troops or civilians die, consider themselves victorious as long as they can keep on firing rockets at our women and children.
Save your sympathy for the mothers and sisters and girlfriends of our young soldiers who would rather be sitting in study halls learning Torah, but have no choice but to risk their precious lives full of hope, goodness and endless potential, to wipe out the cancerous terrorist cells that threaten their people and all mankind. Make your choice, and save your tears.
That terrorists have been unsuccessful in killing more of our women and children is due to our army, God and prayers, not to any lack of motivation or intention on their part. If you hide behind your baby to shoot at my baby, you are responsible for getting children killed. You and you alone.

If Bibi comes on at the same time as the Israeli PM, ya'll have to let me know what the PM said.
FYI Bibi will be interviewed on Rush in a couple minutes (12:30 EST)

You know, I think Bibi is great. He's charismatic, good looking, telegenic, remarkably articulate and right on in his thinking on Israeli security and the nature of the enemy. I "campaigned" (wrote letters, etc.) for him when he ran and won the PM'ship in Israel.
So you can imagine my crushing disappointment when, once in office, he really just proceeded to continue the Oslo process, turning over Hebron (Chevron) as one of the "lowlights" of his short tenure. He still excites the imagination to listen to him speak, but I wonder if he really doesn't have some kind of flaw that prevents him from leading Israel. Personally, I would love to see him as Ambassador to the UN. As much as I hate the UN, it would give him a big bullhorn for that golden tongue and Israel always needs more and better PR to fight the Arab and Left-wing propaganda mob.
Time for Rush interview with Bibi moved to 12:45.
For my own, selfish reasons, I hope it's all just a bunch of talk. ;-)
Israeli PM: No cease fire in coming days. Asks for patience at military finds terrorists.
Rush just siad, I think, that Bibi is in an emergency cabinet meeting and doesn't know when Bibi will be able to join the show.
