Just catching up with the thread..saw the great reporting by Jennifer Griffin and am watching the interviews on BOR.
I did have an interesting chat with some (Iraq) combat vets this evening. They shake their heads while trying to explain the mindset of the ME to me. Their consensus is that short of massive de-programming (said in jest)- the west is in for a hell of a fight.
Witnesses: Israeli planes strike Hizbullah areas deep inside Lebanon
Israeli warplanes struck Hermel deep inside Lebanon early Tuesday, 120 kilometers (73 miles) north of the Israeli border in the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon, a known Hizbullah stronghold, witnesses reported.
Warplanes fired at least five air-to-surface missiles on the town, the witnesses said. It was not clear what was hit and whether there were any casualties. Another strike targeted an area near the Syrian border, about 10 kilometers (6 miles) north of Hermel. (AP)

Thats why we have to peek into the military blogs once in a while to get the real perspective.
What did you think about Bill O'Reilly's show tonight?
Especially his interview with *THUD* Amb. Gillerman??
BTW...DOES ANYONE HAVE TIVO that could download a link to BOR's show tonight...and put it on the thread, so those who don't have cable can watch it????
