"ok..no more info on the "new info" must of been a mix up..Israeli TV reporting offense now underway"

Ok, I was going to say that if Olmert reverses course again, someone in his cabinet needs to put a bullet in his head.

Admitting you don't know is the first step to wisdom. That and other deep philosophical stuff

They hate us because we are not Moslem and we (as a culture) are decadent.

As I said yesterday, Hemmer and Smith are yanking our chains for ratings. They have a vested interest in portraying this as a cliffhanger (or a ball game in sudden death overtime).

While I have a great interest in the news and also fervently desire Israel's victory in this conflict, I refuse to allow the media to stampede me into a position on the Israeli government's conduct of the war.

For all we know, none of this is happening the way it's being portrayed.

Since I have been playing monopoly with my grandkids all morning, the only thing that has made me upset is that my grandson managed to get an early monopoly on Board Walk and Park Place.

Actually I would think napalm might be just the trick here if we think they are still occupied. Do we have any napalm experts here? Is there any way to just light these tunnels off once you have found an entrance or two.

That really isn't nice to say..."I have a hard time keeping a straight face with some of the posts I have seen"...

That tends to smear all of us...if you have a contrary opinion to some other poster, maybe you should direct to that one person...

Besides, I told you to behave!!! LOL

Yonitheblogger also reports the following:

Hot Info From A Phone Call According to one of my sources Israel is going to reject the diplomatic efforts spearheaded by America at the UN. The resolution that America in the end has agreed to will do nothing to protect Israel As a result of this according to my source in the next few hours Olmert will give the order to restart the war and the IDF will march north to the Litani River and maybe beyond.

Do we have three sources now?

Exactly. Israel is different from the other nations on earth, meant to be a kingdom of priests and to do honor and glory to G-d. I think Israel's national anthem puts its all in perspective:

HATIKVAH

Kol ode balevav
P'nimah -

Nefesh Yehudi homiyah

Ulfa'atey mizrach kadimah
Ayin l'tzion tzofiyah.

Ode lo avdah tikvatenu
Hatikvah bat shnot alpayim:

L'hiyot am chofshi b'artzenu -
Eretz Tzion v'Yerushalayim.

OUR HOPE

As long as the Jewish spirit is yearning deep in the heart,

With eyes turned toward the East, looking toward Zion,

Then our hope - the two-thousand-year-old hope - will not be lost:

To be a free people in our land,

The land of Zion and Jerusalem.

The closing line sums up for me the essence of this war and what is at stake for Israel in her battle for survival: "To be a free people in our land, the land of Zion and Jerusalem." Freedom always comes with a price and today Israel is paying the ultimate price any nation can bear to keep herself upon this earth. May G-d bless her forever and evermore.

(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em Down Hezbullies.)

OH, sofa, I know you are going through a lot...and you still have to fly home.

Did you see that the attack that didn't happen...was supposed to happen on August 16th?? Doesn't seem a significant date..but that is what I saw on Fox.

Please let us know when YOU get home...and when your family gets home...except for Sofalad, who comes home on Sunday.
