8/3 Middle East Live Thread

The Chinese probably know what the Israeli government knew when this whole thing began. This is not about the missing soldiers, and never has been. There is a larger threat in the area.

Ynet is also reporting that 5 people are critically injured so i fear the death toll may rise even further

Isn't today the day when a bunch of Israelis were heading to the Temple Mount? Any news on that?

If the IDF were to move into southern lebanon with overwhelming force,

Where are you living, they have been doing this for the last 36 hours.

Re the Rummy hearings, McCain is talking about the exact numbers of troops being moved into Baghdad and where they are coming from. Let's all tell the jihadis about our plans, Sen. McCain.

There's as much (or more) anger towards the House of Saud as there is towards the US/Israel on the jihadi forums....Who knows?

They intend to clear out Hezbollah south of the Litani River and establish a 6 to 10 mile wide security zone along the border. And they will hold it until an international force arrives - or if one doesn't, the Israelis look set to stay for the long haul.

The house of Saud is playing a very dangerous game. Saudi Arabia is the home of the wahabbi sect, but yet the Saud's are trying to keep the West happy also. They have been saying different things to the Western press and their own people for some time now.

In the end, it will end with a lot of people dead. I doubt the Saudi's can keep the lid on much longer.

That is quite disturbing. And it might explain why Rumsfeld didn't want to mess with testifying today, and why he apparently appears tired and grumpy.

I haven't had a chance to get to the hearing yet...have they been particularly nasty to Rummy today??

I know Hildabeast excoriated him during the hearing yesterday with Gonzalez because he was too afraid to appear before a LIVE panel....

So, I guess they "dared" him to show up...and he did...when what we all know is, they want their campaign chance to go up against him and tell him what a failure he has been as DOD Sec.
