Yeah, Rick is great. Spent a few weeks in the back of an LAV with bunch of marines a few years back. Has to teach you something about how to be cool when hanging with the military.

I thought that I'd bring to everyone's attention that Nihad Awad, Hamas supporter/ sympathizer and Executive Director of CAIR, is very upset with Pres Bush for using the term "islamic fascists"....

Note to Mr Awad...my 'give-a-sh*t' meter is busted all to hell....if the shoe fits, Cinderella, wear it.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's so we can officially shrug and say, "we tried!" knowing full well that they probably wouldn't sign on. I wouldn't be surprised at all.

>>When all hell breaks lose the US & Israel can both say "we tried, but Hezbollah rejected all our efforts at a peaceful solution".<<

Not only do I agree with you, but I think this thing goes back much farther. As in, "We tried. We gave them the west bank, and look what happened."

This has been a long played out game of giving them enough rope to hang themselves in the world political arena.

Oh, and the fake photos and similar developments are just extra nails in the coffin of the Hezzies, Syria and Iran.

In all seriousness, this really could be the BIG ONE, as my tag line may suggest.

What's that motion sickness medicine? We may need double doses as we climb back onto the merry go round today.

One thing that occurs to me... if you look at the horizon and ignore the scenery passing by, you wont' throw up.

We need to keep our eyes on the horizon. Note the passing scenery, but don't focus exclusively on it.

I trust Bush, Cheney, Bolton, Chertoff, Snow, Rudi, Bibi. They all know a whole lot more than I do about what is REALLY going on. They have enough on their plates to not have to worry about reassuring me at every turn.

I'll join in noting the scenery, but I'll bow out of the second guessing and condemning of our leaders. This isn't football, it is all of futures.

Saddle up!

Hezbollah refused to disarm itself. And Israel cannot tolerate the terrorist organization near its border. Nasrallah is such a fanatic that he put paid to his own best interests. The French were running along to save him and he told them in effect, "screw you!" Now he is without friends, at Israel's mercy. The final act of this drama is now being played out. Israel will win.
