Mourners carry the coffins of Israeli Arabs Hanna Hamam, 62, and Ladida Mazzawi, 67, who were killed Sunday night in a Hezbollah rocket attack, during their funeral in the city of Haifa, northern Israel, Monday, Aug. 7, 2006. Hezbollah fired its deadliest rocket barrage Sunday on Israel, killing 12 Israeli reservists and three civilians. That brought the Israeli death toll to 94, including 46 soldiers, the 12 reservists and 36 civilians.
No, not necessary to learn Arabic.
"Gitmo" is universally understood.
Not sure about "panties on head" but they ALL know "Gitmo".
If the Euros come out of that meeting smiling that would probably mean the lebanonese concerns have been satisfied, but might also mean Israel will not accept. Anybody notice the lack of media coverage when Lebanon turned its nose at at the original US/French agreement. Watch what happens if Israel does likewise, the MSM will have a conipition
I can't help but remember the final days of the Roman Empire when ransoms were paid for the safety simply upon threat of the enemy. I hope that day never comes but let it be known, I would die on my feet like a man, rather than die on the ground.
You keep making that offer. I'm beginning to worry. lol

"IAF renews strikes on Beirut"...
I am glad to hear that.
It's no problem, these threads are famous (infamous?) for straying off topic. ;-)
At least your question is about the war. I'm surprised we haven't gotten into a discussion of digital cameras, their construction and/or the political contributions of the companies that make them. :-)

Israel dropped leaflet warnings on Tyre (assisted the title because it was confusing)
BEIRUT, Lebanon (CNN) -- The Israeli military dropped leaflets Tuesday over the southern Lebanese city of Tyre, warning of stepped-up operations and urging people to stay off the roads or risk being a target.
The leaflet drop coincided with consideration by Israel's Security Cabinet of a possible expansion of the military offensive in southern Lebanon as well as with international efforts to bring the fighting to a halt.

Minister Ezra: Hizbullah is breaking down

Is Minister Gideon Ezra seeing something new? The cabinet ministers are expected to meet Wednesday morning to decide whether to expand the military campaign to the Litani River.
Several hours before the meeting, one of the cabinet members, Environment Minister Gideo Ezra, told Ynet that "Hizbullah is showing signs of breaking down. The Hizbullah members kidnapped by the IDF in their sleep reveal that the organization is tired."

GREENSBURG, Pa. -- A man from the Republic of Georgia is being held in the Westmoreland County Prison after he and another man from that country were found with 15 prepaid cell phones and $4,200 in cash, police said.
The Tribune-Review reported that Malkhaz Zakutashvili, 53, was held through the federal Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Murrysville police said the federal agency told police not to hold the second man, Zurabi Maisuradze, 25.
Police said the men were questioned just before 8 p.m. Saturday because their van, which did not have a permanent registration plate, was stopped in a lane of traffic in the Franklin Plaza parking lot.
Zakutashvili told police he was in the country illegally, Tappe said. Maisuradze claimed to have a visa, but he said he had forgotten to bring it with him.
The prepaid cell phones, which the men had recently purchased in Monroeville and Murrysville, were found inside the van. Also in the van were a laptop computer and global-positioning software.
A bomb-sniffing dog found nothing suspicious in the van, which had no seats or wall paneling inside, police said.
The men said they were on the way to Philadelphia and had visited a local drug store to buy batteries, police said.
if there is any truth to this article then now is no time to stop the offensive, crush them while the opportunity presents itself.
Aw Geesh.

Here's my Arabic word for the day:

Wouldn't be the first government agency that makes kingdoms within the agency.
That's not a good thing, as a rule. It hurt the CIA a lot over the years...

U. of Montana officials suggest that "they like the Big Apple more than they like the Big Sky."

I guess this happens all the time
"Michigan driver's licenses"
The Islamic Caliphate of Michigan issues driver's licenses to anyone.
Someone on Fox noted that prior to 911 we wouldn't even know about missing students. Said it happens, and has happened, "all the time".
Their loss...hope it's not our loss.
(but I for one can't imagine preferring NYC to Montana....)
