Knowing that pig commands ANY power at all just makes me cringe. I know Allegra would like nothing better than to see him pushing daisies for her reasons- he was the reason my best friend lost her son as well. And although I try to be a good Southern lady, I find myself wishing him a painful and excrutiating death beyond description.

I'll go to confession on Friday for this, but there... I said it!

John Bolton, on why the US is not supporting a return of Shebaa Farms to Lebanon...

"It is surely a pretext that Hezbollah uses that it maintains anti-ship cruise missiles in its arsenal in order to liberate Shebaa Farms...."

Classic..

[sofaman]

perfectly understandable...

[conservativepoet]

That's good stuff.

"Where's Allegra?"

She may be reading, but she doesn't usually come in until the ping for the new thread.

[hegemony]

BTW- I did like your funny ;-)

[sofaman]

In addition: "The Security Council has previously decided, unanimously, that Israel had fully withdrawn from all Lebanese territory, even though everybody in the world knew that it was still occupying Shebaa Farms, which is a judgment by the Security Council at that time that Shebaa Farms was not Lebanese territory. That's as clear as one can be."

I love this guy...he's sharp and takes no sh*t..(pardon my Hebrew)..

Thanks :>)

[conservativepoet]

He's the best we've had in a long time. It tells how ridiculous Dems are for voting against him.

You probably have the same problem I have with "forgive us us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." I don't blame you.

"The Yesha Rabbis Committee said, Jewish law forbids refusing orders during times of war.

The Rabbis added that according to Halachah (Jewish law) the IDF has a right to bomb any target from which enemy fire emanates..."

[sofaman]

pure politics...

[Allegra]

I'm here!

Very noisy last night and this morning here.

I just love it when the first thing I hear in the morning is four explosions nearby. ;-)

[La Enchiladita]

I am glad that Bolton spoke up on this; we must be clear. Of course Lebanon/Hizb'allah will make it one of the sticking points.

[redgolum]

Correct, they don't. But that would unleash all kinds of heck, and the resulting sanctions and oil shortage would hurt the US quite a bit.

[TankerKC]

Thanks.

fwiw this is the particular tripe that drew my dander.
