the very best weapon is that MAN in the pic above your post ,,,,,,,RIP,,,
"so true!"
Ya gotta think that the PC libs would be convinced that a whole lot fewer "innocent" people would die if we could stop an massive military conflict by killing one person.
Oh well, gotta go for a couple of hours to feed chickens to the cats......hopefully there will be few Israeli casualties and many Hezbollah deaths tonight.
LOL, I am never going to live that comment down, am I.
I guess not.
I have been up to my armpits in granddaughters today...park, Sonic, baths...playtime...whew.
I THINK I can be here for the rest of the evening though.
the whole story, lots of pics here:

"There is a lesson in this?"
Yup, we gotta rewrite our "rules of engagement".
Me too. But you must admit: NOTHING on FR has been funnier than the Krazy Kerry threads during the campaign! Skiing with that daisy dangling from his doppleganger, then the coordinated yellow biking shorts, shirt and helmet---AND yellow [$7,000] bike with yellow water bottle to boot!!! And then there were the "I-don't-own-an-SUV" threads, the hunting costume, Tehreyza, and the soccer pictures. My my, that man has no idea what a fool he made of himself.
Good for her. What's the sense of talking with a country that has publicly pledged the destruction of Israel.
He is a fool, isn't he? I'd forgotten all that. Maybe I need to learn to laugh at him more and get over this sickening feeling when I look at him.
I read a little bit of Yoni's biography on a website today, daybreak. What a hero he was. Such love for his country.
I don't have a good enough large enough map of modern Israel to do it right.
I do believe that Shechem would currently be on the Westbank, although its not a city any longer. It's between Mts. Gershim and Ebal. Succoth is sort of in a straight line across the Jordan river in what would now be Jordan.
Ephraim is used as a name for what would be the kingdom of Israel as apposed to the Kingdom of Judah. Again, a lot of it is now in the West Bank.
Gilead is in Jordan Mannassah is that land that runs in a belt between Tel Aviv to Mt. Carmel, more or less, and to the Jordan, and parts of it are in Jordan and some in Syria. It would include the Golan Heights, up to maybe Mt. Hermon.
Moab and Edom are both in Jordan. Moab is along the SE side of the Dead Sea, while Edom was south of that.
The old Israelite heartland of Ephraim and Samaria are mostly the West Bank nowadays.
Philistia is basically now what is the Gaza Strip.
I don't have a good large enough Israeli map to do justice, so my boundaries are a bit rough,and I can't peg you properly to current placenames.
By partioning out the land from Shechem to Succoth, that's a line that sort of represents the East Bank and West Bank claims of ancient Israel.
The Obsession fellow reminds us "It's all about Jerusalem"..and the prophecy that the tribes of Muslim must wipe out the tribes of Israel.
> I am never going to live that comment down, am I.
True, but look at it this way. How many of us get to be a part of FReeper lore.
Ten years from now, FReepers who never heard of us are going to post *thud* and not even know where it came from.
LOL,,,,good day today,,,,
I would expect no more. Get the job done first. Then tell us about it!
