Love is a Battlefield
IDF soldier received heart shaped cookie somewhere near the Lebanon border...
Disinformation and wishful thinking
mixed in with all the koolade they're drinking,
A great big dollop of Orwell's 1984
Doublespeak and poof there's no more war
through the rocket's red glare
streaking bright through the air,
good is bad and bad is good,
just another day in the neighborhood...
Interesting to see that the American CNN is following a different line of questioning than Hala Gorani (which is Lebanese I think or Syrian) at CNN International did.
Has Beckett woken up by now?
LOLOL... Beck/Notbright. I thought exactly the same thing.
I don't see it. they had weeks to mount a major ground operation - and now we expect it will happen right now, at the same exact moment as the move at the UN?
the operation underway now looks to me to be a "ceasefire from a position of strength" move.
(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em Down Hezbullies.)
BRAVO,,,,,LOL,,,
what about air power...will they still be able to use it even after they withdraw boots on the ground?
I listened to Beckett with Wolf Blitzer. honestly, I don't know what the hell she even said.
it's like there is nobody in charge!
Bolton LIVE now.
23:19 Death toll from IAF strikes Friday across Lebanon rises to 17 (Reuters)
23:17 Iranian president blames U.S., U.K. for delay in reaching cease-fire (AP)
22:43 IDF sources: Despite UN talks, IDF operations proceeding `with full force` (Haaretz)
22:40 Witnesses: IAF strike on car convoy in S. Lebanon kills 2, wounds 8 (Reuters)
and he leaves, saying next to nothing and taking no questions.
Condi speaks at 6:30PM.
(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em Down Hezbullies.)
what next to nothing did he say?
ROFL
"either get in my belly or apply some headon!"
LOL! I just switched to another channel on TV because the headon came on and was giving me a headache. Not as big a one as I'm getting over this U.N. "resolution" which is a turncoat on Israel by our gov't, bigtime.
That much I can gaurentee. There is a lot going on. The mear fact that we, the public are getting wind of these things is telling of just how big of scope we are dealing with right now. Couple that with the fact that this is all comming together so rapidly and simultaneously tells me that something very big is going on. (I dont believe in coinsidence) Everyone stay safe out there. I'll be back later tonight.
The oldest trick in the Diplomat's Famous Bag of Tricks: you write the language so that both sides can interpret it in a way that is favorable to their side even when the two sides are 180 degrees apart. That takes real skill. Of course the end result is a disaster but the diplomacy "worked" and that is what counts.
