"Chavez wants to position himself at the leader of a violent anti American coalition."

We gotta get rid of the ban on assasinations. It would be a whole lot cheaper to take care of some of these "problems" with a few hundred grains of lead.

Blair is dealing with a "scandal" at home. British intelligence agencies may have used info obtained from terrorists "tortured" in other countries.

I hadn't heard that.

So when he said at the White House a few days ago that it was time we all stop apologizing for our policies, he just meant "until we do something that makes the Islamofascists mad".

A special commando raid. Time for a Bibi Bump.

Bibi's brother, Yoni, died in the Entebbe raid.

Thanks. Read it in one of my engineering magazines today. BTW, still seeing lots of articles on new tech for the War On Terror that is pretty amazing -- great stuff to read up on when bad news arrives in this arena.

The Israelis hit the Hamas leadership as necessary. There is a lesson in this?

I didn't see the first part of the interview, but the 5-10 minutes that I saw, Bill was being quite respectful of Dr. Rice.

She gave a nice answer at the end about Syria, a good smackdown of Richard Armitage.

Bill just asked Condi: "Richard Armitage said that it is a mistake that you haven't talked directly with Syria...what do you say about that?"

Condi: "Well, Rich Armitage was the LAST administration official that did talk with Syria...and you see what hasn't changed because of it."

WOW...major slapdown of Armitage!!

Score 1 for CONDI!!!

Yoni planned and led that raid and was the only Israeli killed....shot in the chest as he was running forward. Hope he's in a place where he can watch out for his fellows.

He was nasty to Gillerman. He was just being himself with Condi. Not nasty, just smarmy.
