Look at this... it's not me.

"What options do you think Hezbollah will pursue?"
I think we are about to make a choice that will set a trajectory that will last a long time. The world is choosing and seems to be demonstrating its weakness to terrorist thugs. Hezbollah and Iran will choose a deeper conflict especially if Iran believes no one will directly challenge it through military power. Israel seems to be choosing the path she must. She's choosing to confront the dark powers growing on her border. The free world is having its soul revealed for us to see who deserves liberty and who doesn't.
Not probably, they already have and will continue to do run Nasarallah speeches live. Sounds like Olmert has grown a pair, he should have come out in the opening days and given this kind of speech. Still, talk is just talk, let's see if it carries it out. If he does, watch for Hizbullah/Iran/Syria to do something stupid in Hizbullah's death theros
Dang sage...you should have warned us how LONG that article about AJ is...whew!
VERY SCARY..also.
"Innocents were killed, but I don't think they were killed by the Israelis."
To me, some of the bodies they showed appeared to have been dead for several days. I think they are "recycling" the dead.
CNN International was just doing a live shot from Beruit, with OBVIOUS gunfire nearby. You could tell she was nervous, and then the signal died....
Any update on this, or did the reporter just happen to be on the scene of a robbery or something ;), there is a war raging and gunfire breaks out in Beirut and nobody's reporting it
I had sent that article around to my e-mail group; how Iran treats children is appalling. And yet we have France saying that Iran is a respected and stabilizing force in the Middle East.
There was another blog posted on FR that I saw that talked about how many of the bodies seemed to be in rigor. Also, the "rescuers" tee shirts are bleached white; just how long would that last while digging into rubble to retrieve bodies? About 5 minutes, maybe.
"" "The authorities have located a bomb in the Proscenium building. They are currently in the process of removing it with a robot. This may take up to 4 hours. During this time, 14th street will be closed east of Crescent Avenue. 1180 Peachtree Street and The Proscenium building have been evacuated." ""
Thread pulled by Admin Moderators -- "false alarm".....
Oh - thanks for that update.
I think a little of both...considering Senor had to explain to her about the Hezzies setting up those people by firing from that area.
BUT, you are VERY correct...she is mostly against the perception of the USA, and especially George Bush..
His speech this morning drove her up the wall...because he used a few Spanish words when introducing the Hispanic House members...she kept playing that over and over...and saying "I don't think we need to have our POTUS out in the public speaking spanish do we?"
Which is a perception point...which then sent her into the immigration problem...but it was what Bush "looked" like and "sounded" like...not his message.
Good...that the signal died.
Maybe if a camera crew catches some shrapnel, they'll leave.
Just catching up on the morning's posts- besides FOX- do you know any other MAINSTREAM media people who are seriously investigating the incident in Qana? Have you seen this?
http://eureferendum.blogspot.com/2006/07/milking-it.html
What can we DO to get this really investigated? Has anyone you know in the MSM discussed the implications of the building not coming down for SEVEN hours?
Also- have you seen "Obsession"? http://www.obsessionthemovie.com/
Do NOT miss it- the context and perspective you'll gain is invaluable..
"died of natural causes? taken out of the hospital in tyre? that's why it 7 hours for the rescue people to show up?"
I wonder if the Hezbollah handlers will allow the media reporters to spray paint a big X on the face of those "victims" that are being paraded around...sort of like when they do house to house searches in a disaster to make sure houses don't need to be checked twice.

Thanks for posting Olmert's comments.
Lizarde - I have to leave for a bit so if Bibi gets on Rush's show, I can't transcribe. Sorry.

Dennis Prager has a great program this morning. Anyone else listening?
Samples: Qana is a tragedy. However, there is a difference between tragedy and evil.
"World opinion" has always been wrong.
I expect nothing from humanity, and it constantly delivers on my expectations.
Israel hasn't done what it needs to do.
