Its all a ruse to allow the airtrain from the U.S. to resupply Israel's smart-bomb stockpile.
And those 1000 IDF troops coming out are on R and R.

THANK YOU! I have felt so, SO discouraged ..worried..and MAD. I needed some perspective.

Still baffled..but 24 hour coverage isn't necessarily a good thing - it all takes time to unfold..and changes on the ground are why the military always has a gazillion "contingency" plans.

Adjust. Adapt.

Has this been posted yet? It's amazing, because I saw this last night and even though I'm totally in favor of Israel and don't apologize for what they have to do, this actually made me cry it was so pathetic and tragic. Now they print a correction that the little was not killed by an Israeli missile attack at all but in a car accident:

Then we can thank all the "drive by media" for their cooperation. ;>)

once again:

Northern Command officer: IDF controls sec. strip
By JPOST.COM STAFF


Senior Northern Command officer Brig.-Gen. Alon Friedman said on Thursday that the IDF controlled the entire area between Rosh Hanikra and Ras Baide in the area that once constituted the security strip when Israel occupied southern Lebanon until 2000.

He told Israel Radio, that IDF troops enter the towns, which are mostly abandoned, to strike Hizbullah operatives, before leaving the towns again.

Brig.-Gen. Friedman asserted that there were hardly any rockets launched from areas under Israeli control, except an occasional sporadic launch. He stated that the rockets fired on Thursday were launched from sites north of the Litani River.

Sounds like the IDF is doing good, if you ask me...

No way everyone became this soft overnight.
Good point. I think we about to see our side get REAL tough pretty soon. Given Iran's bluster, the revelation terrorists were going to use nerve gas above our cities, and North Korea launching missiles all over the place- we have no choice.

Per Commie News Network British Agent infiltrated airline terror cell and met with AQ in Pakistan

CNN had better hope that a couple of people met with AQ or CNN will have just killed the British agent.

US ambassador to UN: We're not playing games here





US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton said he did not think it was helpful to distract attention from negotiations over the US-French draft.


"We're not playing games here," said Bolton. "This is very serious."


Bolton said it was still possible that the council would be ready to vote Friday on the US-French proposal. (AP)

I'm beginning to get the feeling this whole plot is actually a ruse. Not by Brit, US and Pak authorities but by terrorists. Basically a diversion away from a different kind of attack and within iran's timeframe. We have actions going on in Israel to divert attention from iran. Something is just not right.

Remember a couple of nights ago, when a routine Israeli deployment became "a fullscale invasion of Lebanon" when Shep described it? Well, this is the imaginary retreat that matches the imaginary invasion.

Here's the sleazeball REUTER-ROOTER caption with that Correction notice:

ATTENTION EDITORS - CAPTION CORRECTION FOR SJS01 - 05 WHICH WERE TRANSMITTED AT APPROXIMATELY 1725 GMT ON AUGUST 9, 2006. THE CAPTION INCORRECTLY STATES THE CAUSE OF . CORRECTED VERSIONS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOW THIS ADVISORY. WE ARE SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE CAUSED. REUTERS. A Palestinian man carries the body of three year-old Raja Abu Shaban, in Gaza August 9, 2006. The three-year-old who had been reported killed by an Israeli air strike in Gaza on Wednesday actually died of an accident, Palestinian medical workers said on Thursday. Workers at Gaza's Shifa hospital said on August 10, 2006 that the initial mistake over the cause of appeared to have arisen because the 's corpse was brought in at the same time as the bodies of the gunmen.
