Over the past day, IDF infantry, armored and engineering forces operated in southern Lebanon. The forces positioned themselves in the areas of Mis el Jabal, Mahibab Blida, Shihin, Rajmil and Majdal Zun, in the eastern part of southern Lebanon.

Night Jim, sweet dreams.
The fact that such as article was written intrigues me. I think Israelis are reaching a point of anger that may explode. This article feels personal.
ooooh the Commandos again!
you were right
Another freeper and I have spent many hours trying to find out about that story.
The other freeper has been conversing with our source via freepmail...but, so far, we haven't gotten the source's source.
THAT is all I can tell you right now.
We are still working on it...but, so far, haven't been able to find out.....sorry guys.
Ride of the Valkyries is from Wagner's opera, Die Walküre 1870.
Appreciate the post.
please FReepmail me when you find out...
you should hear CNN now - David Gergen and Cooper talking about how bad this is going to be for the US.
I had lived there so long (65-93, with brief breaks out of town) and in so many parts of town that the dead areas would break my heart, I am sure...
Thanks,,,but I could be wrong. I don't really know much about war but I always fear those who are very quiet and look mean. These Muslims all look so histrionic. They must have nothing to do. Soon as anything happens, there they are, tearing up buildings, marching around, screaming like loons.
I mean, they need a job or errands to do or chores at home. They really just go out and demonstrate. What kind of men are they?
For commando, they are making a very big splash.
You're good jim, real good.
:-)
Now you have to stay up!
Hard to hide a black hawk and apache I guess.
I'm crying now over Yeller.
Batch: Thought on Hiz target
Dimona Nuclear Plant... Negev
I was thinking the same thing....now I won't be able to sleep.
It's a classical piece by Wagner. It's most remembered from being played over the helicopter loudspeakers in "Apocalypse Now".
