nowhere else but here would you get a discussion of Wagnerian operas on a Middle East thread.

When I was in college I used to refer to my classical music CDs as Music to Conquers small countries by. I remember watching the Buildup to Gulf (graduated in December of 90) I with Wagner and Tchaikovsky's 1812 and Marche Slav playing very loudly in the background.

You need to look it up and listen to it. It stirs the blood. In ancient Norse tradition the Valkayris were the warrior angles (female) who would ride out of Vahalla to collect the souls of the warriors who died on the battle field to take them to their reward. The music perfectly reflects that.

"per John Loftus: The "vegetable/fruit factory" bombing - satellite pictures verified lines of trucks (from Syria) going in with sagging springs with produce on top and coming out empty. Suspect that is a Fatay A-110 (sp?) with a 240 mi./500 kg. payload and is a guided munition. Suspect target is Dimona nuclear plant (as you said)."

Guided munitions, then we have a new ball game here.

Did you hear the Generals on with Hannity and Colmes say that if Hezbollah hits Tel Aviv...that they have no doubt that Israel would hit Damascus, and probably Tehran??? YIKES.

LOL, I remember that cartoon. My favorite was when Bugs sang to Elmer about, "Hey watch out with that old shot gun you're going to hurt someone,"

" What's up Doc? What's cooking what's up doc."The dacing frog was cool too.

That's what I got from it as far as I could decipher. They'll lob one and claim it hit the nuclear power plant accidentally because it isn't accurate. Then he said all these other rockets are basically smoke and mirrors for the main event.

I almost wonder if it's a straight up ground movement into the city.

A little earlier tonight, Fox was showing footage of Israeli groundpounders using mortars. You know they're close if they are using those.

If this speculation is correct, this will get more than "interesting."

The song when the helicopters rise up in Apocalypse Now.

Elmer Fudd sings it... "Kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit..."

Just think, they only missed by 28 miles. We were only 28 miles from a major regional war.

That particular post that you saw...is about the report a long time ago on FR, that Col. Hunt signed on to be Hillary Clinton's military advisor..

We all want to find out for sure if that is true..but the source, here on FR, hasn't been able to provide his/her source.

If THAT is what you are talking about--you don't have to go back at all...that was just brought up.

If you are talking about the action in Lebanon..it basically started about 9:30 EDT tonight..so just go back to the posts at about that time.
