Let me thank you as well, for opening these threads nightly--I find myself staying up until you do ;-) It is greatly appreciated!
And I too think we are about to see a "storm" soon--unlike any we have seen for a long time--God be with all of our Warriors in harms way.

I agree with you on that. I'm not sure it's true either. This time line that CNN loves to talk about doesn't seem to reflect battlefield priorities of the Israelis. Olmert indicated he wanted much more than what an political time table would allow.

I'm not so sure this is true.

Again it all depends on us or more precisely G W Bush. If he keeps sending the Israelis ship loads of smart bombs and fuel for their tanks then the rest of the world community can go pound sand. If the president goes squishy then Israel is going to face an ammunition and fuel problem after a few weeks of maximum effort. It all depends on if George decides he is compassionate or conservative this week. I want to think he is going to be the guy that stood among the ruins of the WTC and said we will not tire, we will not falter. But he is also be the guy who won't defend out own souther border and let Ted Kennedy write the school program.

A student from Mt. Vernon High School's Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps
in Alexandria, Virginia, salutes a grave where one of the Marines killed in Beirut,
Lebanon in 1983 was laid to rest. Twenty-one out of 220 Marines killed were buried in
Arlington National Cemetery. A memorial stone marking the gravesite sits alongside a Lebanese cedar
symbolizing the nation in which they died.

by Sgt. Melvin Lopez Jr.
Henderson Hall News

A remembrance ceremony was held at the Arlington National Cemetery Saturday to remember the Marines who were victimized by a gruesome terrorist attack 21 years ago.

On October 23, 1983 at 6:22 a.m., a large delivery truck drove to the Beirut International Airport where the Marine Barracks was located.

After turning onto an access road leading to the compound, the driver rushed through a barbed-wire fence, passed between two sentry posts, crashed through the gate, and slammed into the lobby of the barracks.

The driver detonated explosives with the power equal to more than 12,000 pounds of TNT. The explosion crumbled the four-story building, crushing service members to death while they were sleeping.

The terrorist attack killed 220 Marines and 21 other U.S. service members who were stationed there to help keep the peace in a nation torn by war.

It was the bloodiest day in the Corps' history since World War II, when Marines fought to secure Iwo Jima.

So you are talking about central air conditioning and putting it overhead to let it flow down? Did I get that right? I guess, because of the age of my house (now 102 years old), I wouldn't even consider trying to install central air. We still have 55 original windows which are anything but air tight :) I hope your idea works for you.

Syria has been bugging Pres. Bush by meddling in Iraq for a good while. I think it's his turn to stick it to Syria and cause them to twist uncomfortably for awhile.

The problem with the floor systems is that you have to arrange the room around the floor vents. It is a big pain in the butt. Ceiling systems rock.

Israel is running out of time before they can't flack off the international community any more." I'm not so sure this is true.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Agreed.

Since when did Israel care about flack from the INternational Community. They have international law in their favor.

The only nations who care about international flack are those nations completely controlled by Liberal Socialists, like France.

Thankfully Israel doesn't have that problem, because Israeli liberal socialists realize, finally, that she must fight if she is to survive as a nation. Our liberal socialists are not quite as bright as that.
