Hannibal's classic double envelopement. This may be what's in play writ large as they draw the enemy to the south and now the air cav comes in behind.

But, I doubt this is happening as I don't think they can airlift enough of a strike force into the rear. No, it still looks like they're drawing the bear away from the honey jar long enough to go in and snatch it. Hope they get the captives too.

Okay, go buy yourself some GLISTEN ( it's primarily used to keep dishwashers clean, but it works on other stuff too ! ), pour about 1/2 a packet into your poddy, let it stand for a an hour or more, and you'll get those nasty stains out. :-)

I heard a poll just recently that said like 67% of Americans now believe Saddam was hiding WMD. That must INFURIATE the left, because how many times have they told us he never had them and us stupid clods refuse to stop believing he did. Especially after the 500 missiles.

Baalbek is not part of the envelopment. But it may be part of an effort to take out the remaining command structure prior to massive tank and infantry invasion. The tanks are said to be massing on the border.

I wonder if the bunker-busters we shipped the IAF are being employed against the underground Hezabaloo positions...we developed a 'thermobaric' weapon for use in Afghanistan...a high heat explosive munition that literally sucks the air out of enclosed rabbit warrens. God bless the Israelis and their brave warriors...they are doing our work.

Keep clam and don't try to dream up possible scenarios. There isn't anything you can do about it; one way or another, anyway.

baalbeck has some of the biggest and best roman ruins outside of italy.

And now it's going to home to some of the biggest and best Hesbo ruins.

Now the Hezzies will scream for a cease fire. And the rest of the world will pressure Israel to comply. I hope they don't cave in.

Criticize the government but not the LE.

It was never a critique of the LE. It was a critique of the French. Maybe they need to go back to Corsica and find a new leader.

it's looking like I was wrong about Olmert.

We have to remember the tendency of politicians to go against the grain. A warrior like Sharon had too much clear opposition from the left, perhaps, to take it to them. But a lefty PM like Olmert can act, for a while, with less opposition.

It's like Nixon to China, or W spending like a drunken democrat. We would NEVER have let Gore spend like Bush has done. It's all well documented, this tendency... there ought to be a name for it.

I only wish Arik could have retired to his farm and enjoyed this from the sidelines. I wished that for him while somehow knowing that he would keep working until he keeled over.
