My thoughts - News of Hizbullah's reannouncement of intent to hit TelAviv and Chinese govt telling
everyone to get out of Isrel within all reported within an hours time span. That's an awfully fast turn
around time for the Chinese govt don't you think, unless of course they knew something in advance.
All kinds of math comes in to play in this type calculation, how long reports from one source take to get to you, versus another source, and how long those same reports take to get to decision makers, such as the Chinese, in comparison.
We're talking about a vewry significant development here, the odds that this conflict are likely to expand to include Iran and Syria, and most likely Iraq and the US and Britian.
That's a big step, and even though I may be trending in that direction, it will take a lot for me to publicly state that I believe regional expansion is more likely than not.
Specific points of data support are useful for distributing an idea of the types of calculations now in play, but are meaningless in actual calculation. Right now I can only state that I do not see regional expansion as inevitable.
Hezbollah fires more than 30 rockets at north, killing five people
Three killed in Tarhisha, two in Acre; Eight rockets hit Ma'alot area in first nighttime Hezbollah strike. 16:41
you and your double negatives ;)
5 civilian casualties from Kaytushas today, not good news
AP saying 5 killed in attacks on Israel. I assume but they did not say, it is from attacks going on right now.
Jeffers--I thank you and appreciate your valuable posts and insights. I believe I remember you from a few years ago on the Command Post site, when the Iraq gig kicked off...I appreciated your insights as much then as now! THanks (it IS you, isnt it? ;-) LOL (I lurked there too, other than an occasional response to Redneck, before he got his own blog....)
sirens again, I just heard one hit.
i think what you heard may have been outgoing Israeli fire
I've got thunder headed this way, so I may have to drop off in the next ten to twenty minutes.
Possibly severe weather on tap for later this afternoon as well.
The grid here being flaky, I usually come all the way down to a power off halt, in the past, even light line spikes have damaged equipment, ranging from modems to entire computers to the HVAC system, so war or no war, I may be in and out today, regardless of intent.
Hizbollah gangs promoting drugs, adultery

I agree. They panned the area and I did not see any impact.
6 deaths now not 5
That's me. The signal to noise ratio here is orders of magnitude higher than what we had to wade through there, with PC limitations eventually ending all hope of balanced or productive discussion.
The much larger population here also brings in wider and deeper data sources too.
