Kofi Annam seems to have been unusually quite for hte last 24 hours. I guess he's negotiating to see who will give him the biggest kickbacks.

Hi! I'm watching a movie and feeding cats. OH, Oh, guess who called me back today? The school dist guy. Yep, he offered me the exact same job that he told me Monday someone had signed a contract for. Truly an odd set of circumstances but at least I have a job when school starts!

Thanks for the update. Can't they prop Olmert up like "Bernie's Vacation" with someone else like Bibi? I know, wishful thinking.

I don't believe Israel has the weapons to take out such a deep bunker system. I'm open to being proved incorrect. No one said it was a game. You're strategy assumes capabilities I doubt Israel has. US defense sources recently indicated that the US probably couldn't take out Iran's nuclear capability.

The Islamic militant war has sprung. It's time to get serious.

I agree with you there's no other choice...here's wondering why congress rejected Bush's request for nuclear bunker busting bombs.

In for one post.

For a ceasefire to actually accomplish a cessation of firing, both Hezbollah and Israel have to agree to cease firing weapons.

How many here think they can find enough areas of agreement where this is mathematically possible, raise your hands?

That's what I thought.

At some point, one of three things will happen:

1. Pigs will fly and Israel or Hezbollah will do a 180 and both sides will agree on everything.

2. The US will dig in their heels and refuse to sweeten the pot further, leaving France or someone else to field a resolution draft favorable to Hezbollah, which the US will veto.

3. The US and France will field resolutions which the other side rejects.

Meanwhile, rockets keep falling on Israel and sooner, rather than later, Hezbollah will get lucky again, at which point, Israel re-asserts her right to defend herself.

There are currently 40,000 IDF troops massed on the Israeli-Lebanese border, with up to 60,000 more on the way.

The US is dismayed over Syria's cocky attitude.

The UK and US are at Threat Level Red and Orange, respectively.

Mugniyeh and Bin Laden are still on the loose.

Thumping in Baghdad seems to be continuing at steady rates.

Iran is still processing uranium.

Unless a miracle UN resolution appears out of nowhere, and soon, I think it's way to early to be thinking about either victory or defeat.

I also think that when the flag goes up next time, it goes up wider and faster than most people expect.

Night, all, got a 101 degree fever to deal with here, be back when I can.

I don't know how many people know what is going on but a bunch of loose lips sink ship reminders would be good.

Now the first stage of that is gone. 24 arrested. This whole thing isn't over. Iran is involved with more than appears to the eye. There are dots to be connected all along the way. July and August was the big month for multiple events - nothing is a coincidence in all of this.

I will be anxious to get through the next 60 days.

One interesting pair of data points to compare would be:

1. The day the media disclosed the government phone monitoring.

versus

2. The day those bulk purchases of untraceable cell phones started.

Within a few weeks, I'll bet.

That little piece of "journalism" is going to go down in history right next to the Chicago paper's disclosure of Magic intercepts in WWII.
