I suspect you're right.

I can't keep up with a lot of this, since I can only really read the thread and watch Fox early in the morning or after the granadkids go home. I am missing a lot of the undercurrents. What you say, however, makes a lot of sense.

Local news is leading with the "Malibu Meltdown" (Mel Gibson) story.

I am wondering if those who hang out here for a lot longer can even keep up with all the undercurrents...

Bill's normal self is quite offensive enough. When he goes out of his way, he's intolerable.

Report from Israel on H&C now.

Honestly, I am beginning I think I need a map on the wall with pins for the Israeli positions, several history books, scorecards of all of the Hezbollah leaders, lists and descriptions of armament, etc.

I really am barely keeping up.

my explanation for this - Israel has committed to step up the action. until Israel demonstrated it was willing to go all in, you can't have the western allies out there saying "hezbollah must be defeated", if israel wasn't ready to commit to do that.

Just on another thread

ISRAEL today hacked into the television station of Hezbollah, emblazoning images on the screen showing pictures of corpses and claiming the Shiite militant group's leader Hassan Nasrallah was a liar.

You gotta love when they mess with the turban boys little minds.:)
