What is the word on the street in Dubai??...

Mostly lip-service to the Arab cause. Everyone is still too busy making $$$$.

BTW, I'm back in USA for a couple of weeks. I've been traveling between Dubai, Saudi and Bahrain for over a month. I just haven't had time to contribute much to the FR threads---mostly lurking on the daily Middle East thread.

I hope everything is well.

Well, I probably shouldn't talk. The other morning I was posting without the desklight on and I typed a completely unintelligible post and didn't even notice until after I hit the post button.

Thanks. I was at that site the other night. Just now I read in detail the planning, the battle, and Yoni's death. A special unique man.

On Fox, a while ago..it said that the Israelis are IN the hospital in Baalbeck..but that the Hezbollah have the hospital surrounded..

THAT doesn't sound good at all.

it sounds like they have their guys in there - and they are going to use close air support to protect them. its a gutsy move, if true.
