The town of Kiryat Shmona taking hits, as opposed to the hills outside of the town. Air raid sirens going off.

Thanks for posting that.

Ynet had it a while back, but you can't cut and paste from there, so I went looking for it on Kuwaite news sites, and got sidetracked in an across the baords check on the Muslim sites.

Nothing very interesting there, except one very slippery "doctor" on Pakistan's The Dawn, claiming Israel "might have" used chemical weapons on Qana. He waffled so much it didn't even appear the paper believed him, as they were very careful to note that the additional testing required to be sure was impossible, due to Israel's attack.

In my opinion, rocket attacks on Tel Aviv lie at the lower end in severity of the possible spectrum raised by Olmert's warning to Israelis to expect "blood, tears, and pain", in the days ahead. I doubt seriously that Hezbollah will quietly pass into extinction without at least trying to hit Tel Aviv.

And I'm sure he's the arbiter of truth and absolutely trustworthy in his own research.

It's what I recall from contemporaneous reports. Might have been in the 9/11 report, too, but I'd have to check that.

I'm sure they don't plan to pass into extinction at all. But to reincarnate themselves as the representative government of Lebanon, in tight league with Iran, with the same goal to destroy Israel.

Palcot is saying the outgoing artillery from Hezbolla (TYRE) is very close in proximity to where Fox News is reporting from.

Sound like they might be using them as a buffer zone.

That's what they teach their kids there...
sad, more targets.

Reminds me of something I saw earlier with regards to 'teaching/ college' in the United States.

Colleges and universities will start their fall semester soon. You might be interested in what parents' and taxpayers' money is going for at far too many "institutions of higher learning."

At Occidental College in Los Angeles, a mandatory course for some freshmen is "The Unbearable Whiteness of Barbie." It's a course where professor Elizabeth J. Chin explores ways in "which scientific racism has been put to use in the making of Barbie [and] to an interpretation of the film 'The Matrix' as a Marxist critique of capitalism." Johns Hopkins University students can enroll in a course called "Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n' Roll in Ancient Egypt." Part of the course includes slide shows of women in ancient Egypt "vomiting on each other," "having intercourse" and "fixing their hair."

That's exactly why I think the IDF is being far to selective in who they consider the enemy. The problem isn't just those who take up arms. The support structure that enables the terrorists is just as much of a threat.

Sunni fundamentalists: Unanswered questions by Nasrallah

Bitch, bitch, bitch...Can't you people just get behind the jihad? :>(

As an aside, there's some odd stuff happening today. Rakam Ben Williams' statement has been posted again (same site, same text). On another forum, a post was made saying that Osama has been 'martyred'. I tried to re-access, and the site crashes. Hmmmm.

Yeah, right. ("arbiter of truth")

Just another leftwing screwball spewing hateful lies.

A poll was released yesterday claiming 36 percent of Americans polled believe the government was behind 9-11 or at least knew about it ahead of time and deliberately did nothing.

The poll may be flawed for all I know, but it was done by Scripps Howard in conjunction with the U. of Ohio.

Anyway, whatever the true numbers are, you can bet that virtually all of these people hate George W Bush.

Hate does warp the mind.

I am still confused as to the goals of the IDF in southern lebanon, just the other day they were talking about driving to the Litani river, now its a 6-8 km buffer zone, which is it? Or is it both, they intend to drive to the Litani, but will defeat and destroy Hizbullah in detail within 6-8 km of the border so a international force can go in

Sounds like a perfect description of the "government" of Lebanon.

Check this.

Damning evidence of the Qana deaths being staged and the whole thing another Hezbollah farce.

I wonder what the geographic (red state/blue state) breakdown of that poll was.

Not just the government, but the population at large, too. I don't see any civilians among the muzzies.

Here's an interesting article, jeffers - another half datapoint? -
China Advises Citizens to Leave Israel
14:50 Aug 03, '06 / 9 Av 5766


(IsraelNN.com) Chinese Foreign Ministry officials are advising its citizens to leave Israel due to the dangers associated with the fighting in Lebanon.

The Foreign Ministry message calls upon citizens to leave the area as “quickly as possible.”

What do the Chinese know that they aren't telling us, i can see calls to leave lebanon but why israel unless the Chinese think somethings in the works
