new sirens in Kiryat Shmona
In a town meeting behind the heavy steel doors and reinforced concrete of the city hall bomb shelter, Netanyahu came to reassure residents that he fully supported the government in the war in Lebanon. He said as much even though he became leader of the opposition to Prime Minister Olmert following the March 2006 election.
One resident gave such praise to Netanyahu and his Likud party that Netanyahu joked that he should run for parliament.
An impassioned woman blasted the government for pussy-footing around in its ground offensive in Lebanon. She said she was ready to stay six months in the shelters if that was needed in order to finish off the Hezbollah rocket attacks.
Netanyahu told NewsMax in an exclusive interview that he did not believe it would take that long.
Finish the job. That is the goal set by the government. Its the goal that everyone here supports, he said.
I'm watching the Rummy hearings so thank you for all who are doing updates on events in Lebanon, etc. As an aside, John Warner's sole claim to his position as a senator is that he looks like one. He tries to sound important by the use of certain phrases and emphasizing certain words in a gravelly voice accompanied by the appropriate "serious" frown.
