it's been a very eventful stay...Mrs S and the Sofalass were due to fly out of Heathrow tomorrow morning...looks like they're going to be delayed by at least a day. I get to fly out of here tomorrow afternoon, the Sofalad flies out of Heathrow on Sunday morning, and the outlaws (MIL & FIL) fly out of Heathrow on Monday night.
What next? Rockets and plaves and terrosists, oh my!
Re Olmert...methinks that he got a call from Pres Bush, telling him to hold his water. Not to mention that it takes 2 -3 days (as someone much smarter than I, pointed out) to get the assets in place for a major ground offensive.
However, it strikes me that olmert is a wuss and the Israeli public are starting to get a little irritated with his perceived indecision. The calls to INN are pretty strident.
What beats me, is how the French became a player in this saga....they're no more use than tits on a bull (excuse me) and will, simply, get in the way...
They are involved because Lebanon used to be their colony, and they helped Lebanon kick Syria out.
You are being too kind to the French..I truly believe that if the French are in charge of anything..especially the patrolling of the south of Lebanon, with/without the Lebanese Army...
Israel better look out....I think they would be in MORE danger.
