The wife and father of kidnapped Israeli soldier Ehud Goldwasser, Karnit, holding a wedding photograph, and Shlomo Goldwasser arrive at Heathrow Airport in London, Monday July 31, 2006. Hezbollah kidnapped two Israeli soldiers on July 12, triggering an Israeli offensive against Lebanon that has killed hundreds of people, mostly civilians.
Syria is Iran's puppet. Maybe she's trying to persuade them away from the Dark Side.
They had him on FOX. :(
No, don't say that, not even in jest! Did she really...noooooooooooooooo!!!!
LOVELY image!!
I try to go have supper with my wife, have a glass of wine or iced tea, and realize that the worst that can happen is that we die. Which as my wife puts it "That means we go to see Jesus and don't have to do the dishes anymore".
I love that woman.
Yes he was on CNN, tooting his own horn as loudly as possible.
Hi Allegra. Help is on the way!! So they say ...
REd hot firecrackers on the 9th of Av....that's the type of reaction I am expecting. Riots. Maybe more.
How will they be prevented from going? Arrest? Highly doubtful. For all we know, they are on their way anyway, but w/o official blessing. That way Ahmadinejad can discount Iranian involvement. Just a thought.
That's the right attitude.
Welcome to Free Republic!
I don't know if Syria considers itself Iran's puppet...Although Iran might.
Enigmatic post.
Here, take a break with this:

Syria stands to gain from Lebanon's pain
Hizbullah's stock is rising among the Arab public, and the Syrian regime is making the most of it, reports Brian Whitaker from Damascus
Brian Whitaker in Damascus Monday July 31, 2006 The Guardian
[excerpt]
Ultimately, the Damascus regime may emerge as the war's real winner, but the stakes are high and so are the risks, especially the risk of being drawn into direct conflict with Israel. In the last few days, Israeli warplanes have been probing Syrian airspace and Syrian forces responded - as they always do in such a situation - with anti-aircraft fire.
A week ago Syria quietly raised its military alert to the highest level and cancelled all leave. All units are at full strength, contingency plans are in place, and troops and equipment have been dispersed in what one diplomat called a defensive posture.
"They are being very careful not to be provocative," the diplomat said, though he thought there was still a 20% to 30% chance that unforeseen events might drag Syria into the war.
Syria won't move w/o Tehran. If they have already gotten involved, then it could be to admit Iran is calling the shots publicly and try to force someone to talk to Iran. Iran wants big boy status and they have to be included in talks in order to get it. So far, the US will not and no tactics have worked toward that goal yet.
I received e-mail last week that Britain will be first to succumb to Islam. No wonder Blair (who is here in Los Angeles today) is so adamant re the GWOT.

Interesting.
Heard about an hour ago that Iran said this crisis would not be settled without Tehran. Uh, ok...
