Love is a Battlefield
IDF soldier received heart shaped cookie somewhere near the Lebanon border...
He is getting money from dems and republicans.
John Fund thinks he has a chance.
We do the "Cotton Eye Joe".....never seen a Chicken Dance. But I do know how to Polka! Great fun!
Yes, I did...I haven't seen the Israeli government or people getting on TV crying about needing the money to fix their homes...or pay their rent...
Gillerman didn't cry to the council about the displacment of millions of Israelis...
It is just what they do...they take care of their own.

I hate to say this...but I have a BAD feeling, and it doesn't have anything to do with Aug. 22nd...that something is going to happen, soon.
Something that Britain or the US won't be able to stop..
I just think that regarless of what this resolution said, the Islamofacsist world sees that Hezbollah has put "them" in the spotlight..and Iran wants to deflect interest in their nuke program...
I may just be on edge because of this last month...but, I am just sayin...
Thanks for the feeds.
I seriously doubt I'll ever be able to muster even the slightest respect for Dr. Condoleeza Rice again.
Aa far as I'm concerned, she's in the pile with Olmert, Annan, Clinton and Kerry.
It must be the air over at the State Department or something, the same thing happened to Colin Powell.
Casualties of war.
Written by somebody who understands Bibi's Thudliness, no doubt...
Bush reinterated that Iran was behind this huh???
Well, I think he was letting Olmert know he screwed up..that he needed to take on Hezbollah...to get to Iran.
I am sure that Olmert had been told he would get whatever he needed re: weapons and time...if he just did his part.
Thanks for doing the math and putting down what it means. A lot can happen in a month, especially if we get to the 23rd. ;-)

Hmmm...

Olmert Thanks Bush for U.N. Resolution
By NEDRA PICKLER, The Associated Press
Aug 11, 2006 8:51 PM
CRAWFORD, Texas - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert thanked President Bush on Friday for his work on a resolution to stop violence between Israel and Hezbollah, the White House said. It was the first direct talks between the two leaders since the fighting began.
The eight-minute phone call with Bush at his ranch in Texas was initiated by Olmert, said Frederick Jones, spokesman for the National Security Council at the White House.
Olmert endorsed a Mideast cease-fire plan that the United States and France proposed Friday at the United Nations.
"Prime Minister Olmert thanked President Bush for the work he had done on the draft U.N. resolution on the Lebanon crisis," Jones said. "The president expressed his view that the crisis was provoked by Hezbollah with the support of Iran and Syria and that we need to ensure that the reach of the Lebanese government extends throughout the country."
The agreement, which was unanimously adopted by the U.N. Security Council, calls for putting 30,000 Lebanese and U.N. troops along the Israel-Lebanon border, where Hezbollah militants have been fighting against Israel. It falls short of some of Israel's demands, including a strong mandate for the U.N. forces to take on Hezbollah guerrillas.
But Israel has been unable to defeat Hezbollah and was concerned about growing Israeli casualties, as well as international condemnation, if the war continued. The fighting has killed more than 800 people, destroyed Lebanon's infrastructure and inflamed tensions across the Middle East.
Bush has staunchly backed Israel in the fighting and the U.S. has been arguing Israel's interests during the U.N. negotiations. Olmert spoke repeatedly to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during the last four weeks but never directly to Bush until Friday.
Rice predicted that both governments would accept the agreement.
"We have heard from the government of Lebanon that they also believe that this is a resolution that can serve their interests," Rice said in an interview with CNN. "In fact, the interests of both the Israelis and the Lebanese now is to end the large-scale violence and to begin to lay a foundation for peace."
The White House had predicted that a previous draft it was pushing would come to a vote earlier in the week, but negotiators were forced to make changes to address objections from Lebanon and other Arab states.
"A lot of times diplomacy is a bit like a taffy pull, in that you think you may have something that seems to be right on the verge of being completed, and it just gets extended a bit," White House spokesman Tony Snow said. "As the president has pointed out, diplomacy can be a little bit messy and unpredictable."

This year in January, I had bad feelings about March and August. March, Hubby was basically asked to retire. August, so far there's been a war and a "God, thank you for letting them catch it in time" attempt at terrorism. All along my feeling was about Iran, though. But we haven't gotten to the end of the month yet...
All,
Thanks for all your info' everyone. This has been a most interesting, informative and debate filled thread these past few hours.
So now the ball is in Hezbollah's court. "Sing Ces't La Vie - and soon we will see". Will leave you in peace now, have stuff to do.
P.S. But wait - nearly forgot, there is one thing before I go. You want to see the front page of the print Daily Telegraph today 12.8.06. This is Murdoch's daily rag in Australia. It's headed up. "12 Days From apocalypse" What day is 12 days from the Apocalypse? August 22 2006!
According to Fiona Hudson, (the reporter in London) the date of planned bombing of multipe aircraft was August 22. Fiona does not mention the potential importance of this date on the Iran calendar.
All enough for one day? Think I had better chill out and get on with it.
Best to all.
BTTT
It's things like #2324 that are not helping this country. That bottomless pit of money is contributing to more than just adverse political candidates.
Thanks for the link SoCalPol.
I have to keep reminding myself that ultimate control is in God's Hands. Evil can't do anything outside His Will. And He will work it all for the good.
I'm totally confused.....Sheppie says Israel backed their tanks out of Lebanon....but the news is about intense fighting. Is Hezbollah still sending in rockets?
