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.
It's getting tense. Just checked out the link and thought I share couple of the main points in the article posted.
"Britain launched a new security alert system on Tuesday, ranking the terrorist threat to the country as "severe" and saying an attack was highly likely.
It was the first time the government had published such information. . . ."Severe" is the second highest level."

MSNBC: 2 UN aid convoys scrapped; unable to get security clearance from Israel.
someone cue "ride of the valkyries"!
The aim of the operation was not immediately clear, they said. An Israeli army spokesman declined to comment.
Israeli Airmobile Cav??
It seems the Israeli's want to know what's on the ground there very badly, since this is the 2nd time they've tried that....
Hmmmmm...
I WONDER what they could be looking for??
I thought so; it's a perfect confluence of events.
The administration doesn't need another country destabilized right now and considering that Chavez is licking his chops over Castro's ill health, and Chavez met with Ahmadinejad (glad you spelled that first!) recently - it's an almost perfect storm setting up if Castro dies right now.
If those helos were allowed in without being attacked by the Lebanese armed forces, maybe the armed forces have decided to go against Hezbollah?

I think it was two days ago that Lebanese troops did fire on Israeli helicopters preventing them from landing.

I have no idea, but I jotted the url down last night. Take a look here.
Hmmm, that is quite a bit of collective instinctual observation of the same sort from some really dedicated Tony watchers.
Air Cav....they are going to town on the rear guard....totally unexpected.
I hadn't realized it was a crude bomb, but given what you've said, I think you're right -- that a go ahead signal has been given for the less organized jihadists to do whatever mahem they can do.
What was on the trucks. Katyushas?
also a backdoor into Syria...
hehehe. You know, nothing the UN does anymore surprises me.
heard ya.
If you post that report, please ping me...I'd like to read it.
I saw that. Maybe they've changed their minds :)
Okay, you two...I didn't get to see the WH Press briefing...you guys are worrying me.
You think that Tony is "hiding" something...or that he is being extra careful with is wording, or what??
BTW..if/when either of you know when it is repeated...PLEASE let me know, okay?
