Interesting this is happening now after Bin Laden's son was only released yesterday. Wonder where he was really headed for?
BTW harwood- thanks for all the links you post- excellent work!
Where are you living, they have been doing this for the last 36 hours.
Overwhelming force is not six brigades (although i will admit conflicting reports suggest more IDF are in southern lebanon), and 3 weeks after the start of the conflict is a little slow in my books, but i suppose better late than never (just don't tell that to the families of the 6 Israelis that died today).
More bluster and b.s.

From Al-Jazeera:
Saudi Shias in pro-Hezbollah march
More than 2,000 Saudi Muslim Shias are reported to have joined a protest march in the countrys Eastern Province to denounce Israels military onslaught against Lebanon, the second rare protest this week.
Residents said up to 2,000 people took part in a march late on Tuesday in the eastern city of al-Qatif while hundreds more marched in the neighbouring town of al-Awamiya.
A Shia website carried photographs of the protesters, which included Saudi women and children, bearing pictures of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and the groups yellow flag. It said Lebanese expatriates also took part.
The website quoted the protesters as saying: "Not Sunnis, not Shias - its one Islamic unity. Oh beloved Hezbollah, destroy Tel Aviv!"
Public protests are banned in Saudi Arabia, which sees itself as the bastion of Sunni Islam, and the Saudi media have not reported the Shia demonstrations.
One resident said the marchers dispersed peacefully. The man said: "There was a light security deployment monitoring the marches."
Shias say a heavy police deployment prevented them from staging similar protests over a week ago, but dozens of Saudi Shias managed to hold protests on Sunday in the same areas.
Officials from the Saudi interior ministry declined to comment.
For real, or propaganda?
Or it could be that he doesn't relish, yet again, trying to explain things to people like Senator Reed, who either do not want to understand or are incapable of it.
The Chinese may just be playing into the terror pitch, turning up the volume to please "someone".

Not until they got to Reed, who put me in mind of the saying "Senator, I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you."

So, France, which is it? Is Iran a stabilizing force or a force to reckon with?
You mean that you're going to travel and leave all this?
If you see post #326 there is a link talking about Saudi uprisings in 3 cities..
I know you said you have been in Saudi Arabia lately...do you have any insight into the thinking of the Saudi people re: this Israel/Lebanon war?

A son of Osama bin Laden has gone from Iran to Lebanon with the mission to organize terror attacks against Israel, it was reported yesterday. Saad bin Laden, 27, one of the terror mastermind's eldest sons, was released by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard last Friday, according to the German daily Die Welt. "From the Lebanese border, he has the task of building Islamist terror cells and preparing them to fight with Hezbollah," the paper said, quoting intelligence sources. "Apparently, Tehran is counting on recruiting Lebanese refugees in Syria for the fight against Israel, using bin Laden's help," it added. The young bin Laden was supposedly under house arrest in Iran.
Yeah, that little frog tried to dance around the world "stabalizing" yesterday.
Son of Osama, eh! Well, may pieces supplied by the IAF soon be upon him.
"Everyone has decided that there is no problem in inviting Muslim conversions to Christianity and vice versa, As long as it is fair and persuasion and without coercion, and away from sensitive that arise between the two sides after the conversion of any of the other faiths, He pointed out that the Muslim if he is convinced of Christianity or vice versa, he has the right to profess the religion they want without the problems that we know, It often is the persecution of others, whether they are Muslims or Christians. "
So, France, which is it? Is Iran a stabilizing force or a force to reckon with?
This FM better watch it, he might set off a new round of muslim riots in France with this kind of talk.
