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.

What's up with Blair lately?
I watched Tony Snow during his WH press briefing and although he might be merely tired, he seemed worried about something. I watch him frequently and he's very good at maintaining eye contact and he didn't do that today.

Very interesting. I wonder if they're sensing that this may erupt into a larger war or that a new terror threat has been discovered here in the US.
If thinking outside the box might allow Israel to nullify dug-in Hezbies all in one swoop, how about a massive aerial attack, using smart anti-armor cluster munitions...
...against as many Syrian tank laagers as the IAF can reach?
Would that qualify as "BIG"?
Relax, just wishful thinking here...
LOL!
I think tonight (our time) will tell us a lot too.
e ought to know a lot more, one way or another, by 4 to 5 am here.

I'll be up tonight for this.
He could be merely tired, so I don't want to read too much into it, but I didn't read him that way. They must get so much intel that gives them sleepless nights and then nothing comes of it, thankfully.
Not possible. Hezbollah is not a terrorist organization per the EU. (They said so today!)
Hmmm..I heard one of the FOX news people over there say they're going to the river- and hold it til the "peacekeepers" arrive..which may be 3-6 weeks..
You do think BIG don't you? Sitting back with my cold drink eating a pepperoni slim jim.
That's right. Sleep cells are merely testing Posturepedic mattress on the sly. Sheesh....could the EU have their heads buried any further in the sand?
Choppers dropping combat troops in Baalbek...per CNN- Wolf Blitzer...waiting on confirmation now
Israeli troops on the ground from Israeli helicopters near Babek (sorry sp)according to CNN.
i think taking out a few Syrian tank farms (let's say 200 T-72s) would send Assad the message to stay out of Lebanon . . . forever while still allowing him to retain the firepower necessary to stay in control and keep the Sunni Wahabis out of power
He's playing to his Muslim base, unfortunately.
"going to the river"
Good battle cry!
That's a very inviting target (trap) for Syrian armored corps. A bunch of AB sitting in the middle of the Bekka, i guarantee there is a bunch of IDF armor within an hours drive, OH ASSAD COME OUT AND PLAY
First time Israel has been there on the ground since King David's time, I believe...
HOOAH:)
