Love is a Battlefield
IDF soldier received heart shaped cookie somewhere near the Lebanon border...
This happened a lot in the Korean war.
Rick Leventhal is the best...he is with the reservists and just reports...doesn't put on airs...doesn't pontificate or give commentary...
IDF ordered to move up to Litani
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defense Minister Amir Peretz give green light to army to capture southern Lebanon territory stretching up to Litani River as US-French truce deal said 'very, very close'
Ynet reporters
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defense Minister Ehud Olmert on Friday gave the Israel Defense Forces the green light to widen operations in southern Lebanon and capture the territory situated south of the Litani River.
The decision comes members of the United Nations Security Council were said to be close to reaching an agreement on a truce deal brokered by France and the United States.
US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton said, "We are very close to an agreement."
Military officials said it is in Israel's interest to push forward with its military operation in order to achieve more military and strategic gains ahead of a ceasefire that could open the way for the deployment of an international force in southern Lebanon.
The defense establishment criticized Olmert and Peretz for delaying the operation for two weeks, an operation officers say will significantly weaken Hizbullah.

I would love to watch his torture on closed circuit prison cam. I'd pay for that, too.
Wonder which of the dems he's been cuddling up to over here...

...and look what happened there.
(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em Down Hezbullies.)
You were right. Way to go.
"Napalm" is obsolete but there is methodology for doing the job, but it is rather specialized. Shouldn't say more. They may have it and be using it, but they would be wise to keep quiet about it.
Then there's the question of intelligence gathering opportunities --- send in robots to collect it?
What about Tzippi Lippi?
Where's that picture of Gillerman and Bolton? They are Israels' biggest protectors right now.
Make that Israel and the West, for our fates are very much intertwined.

Rick was great in Iraq too during the initial push.
Yep...a disturbing parallel with Korea.
Me niether. I'm having serious withdrawals.
hmmm....how does one get a license, then....;)
My Dad was there and he talks about advancing north in the day and retreating at night while the UN dickered around.
