An Israeli soldier avoids dust as a military helicopter prepares to land on the Israel-Lebanon border August 9, 2006 to evacuate troops injured in fighting in southern Lebanon.
It's probably covered in #3 "Negotiations on a prisoner swap". The whole thing sucks and I can't imagine Bolton agreeing to this piece o'cr*p.
But one of the planes from the UK has landed in the US and additional precautions are taking place just in case? Plus who know, maybe there were plans in those cities to coordinate with the UK plot.
bttt
Finally, a good news post...thanks KAC!!
The last good news post being the one saying that Chuckie Schumer is stuck in London....ooo-aa
Netanyahu: Don't boycott the BBC
By GIL HOFFMAN
Opposition leader Binyamin Netanyahu told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday that he does not believe Israel should boycott the BBC to protest coverage of the war in Lebanon that senior diplomatic officials have deemed biased.
Diplomatic officials said the Foreign Ministry is under pressure from Israeli citizens to remove credentials from its reporters and to restore the boycott of the BBC that it enforced for seven months of the Palestinian wave of violence in 2003.
Netanyahu spent five days in London this week presenting Israel's case and giving many interviews to various arms of the BBC. He said that instead of boycotting the BBC, "Israel should make its presence felt and engage in debates" on the network.
In a meeting with foreign press in Jerusalem on Thursday, Netanyahu said the international community needed to do everything possible to put pressure on Iran, which he portrayed as an octopus with Hizbullah and Hamas tentacles.
"The question is what we do about the insane militancy that aims to become nuclear to destroy all of us," Netanyahu said. "Countries should end their absurd obsession with Israel and be preoccupied with their own survival."
Netanyahu said Israel was engaged in "a war conceived, organized, trained and equipped by Iran, with Iran's goal of destroying Israel and its fantasy ideology of building a once-glorious Muslim empire in which we are merely the first pit stop."
"Another mad man was dismissed 65 years ago," Netanyahu said. "They thought he just had a problem with the Jews. No, he didn't. This is the source of everything that is happening here now. These people are stark-raving mad, but there is a method to their madness, just like Hitler. If Israel disappeared from the face of the earth, it would only make them move faster. If the world doesn't understand it's facing a mad ideology, the world will have no idea how dangerous a turn we are facing."
Netanyahu predicted that "a third tentacle" in the form of another unilateral withdrawal in the West Bank would not be created because he believed Israelis would not let it happen.
"The public has weaned itself off simplistic notions of unilateral withdrawal," Netanyahu said.

I think so.
I begin mine Moday. I will not have TV or FR. Oh but lucky me, I will get to read the Boston Globe for a week. /s I have a feeling I'm going to be sitting in the car with news radio on the whole time I'm away. (Well, maybe not the whole time.) :)
In the past...not today. In fact he used it EVERY time he referred to the religion of the blood thirsty bastards. He's the one that made it part of the American lexicon. Of course most of us who still use it do so with a little more cynicism that the President used.
I know.
The Mayor of LA is a racist...to whites...anyone else is AOK in his book...I don't doubt he has a great relationship with CAIR.
You sound like me, I was stuck with the Cape Cod slimes for 10 days. It was hell!
Islam, the religion of "peace.
Democrats, the religion of appease.
A deadly combo.
I profile. I'm sure everyone here does. ;)
Shep is beginning to seem like that ugly lamp my aunt gave me for a wedding present... I hate it, but at the same time it's familiar.
I swear Jonathan is auditioning for a stint on the Home Shopping Network, or Ronco. lol
Amy, I just want to slap and walk away from. Too bad, she seems smart, but she's so darn condescending. Maybe she's hoping she'll get lured away to CNN and get to party with Christiane.

NOW....my ommission...thanks for the reminder.
Maybe she'll do the Iran report on the 22nd in full burqa. But, I guess we'd never know...

CAIR said he was too supportive of the Jews...
