Interesting- just on the phone with my son about this very thing- and he said as bad as it was then..and as committed as they were to the mission it's not the same as it is for the Israeli soldiers. His point- while they (US) were fighting BAD GUYS...the IDF is fighting for the very life of their country. A different mindset..

I expect it will be vetoed... or be a meaningless Umm Shumm statement. The UN is famous for doing more to prolong crises than to rapidly settle them.

The Air Force retired C-141s last year. Debka reveals an incredible lack of basic operational knowledge sometimes. We move stuff around in C-5s and C-117s now. Small point I know, but missing these little details undermines credibility.

Thanks for that info.

If I was there, I'd take Kofi Annan over my lap and just slap his silly behind so hard he'd quit!

Good grief. Shep now going on ad nauseum about the "split" in Iraeli public opinion and the cabinet.

I can barely recall the good ole' days when enemies actually had to send spies into their opponent's country to try and keep up with events. Today, all they have to do is turn on the TV.

Uhmmm..errr...I think Kofi might like that way too much.

Jennifer Griffin is so smart. She has to keep 'splaining things to Shep..over and over..

He'd probably like it.

Shep said the Syrian's were removing mines shortly before the last "offensive' halted.

Look for additional confirmation, or else reports of ditch bridging, ditch filling, forward movement of earth moving or bridging equipment, dispersion of fuel/ammuntion stockpiles, forward movement of artillery or AD assets.

Where are the three sources for the mine removal ;^)

Shep and Weasley chatting is too much for me.....mute in effect. Shep has told his friends, the Hezbollah, all along about Israel stragedy. Why he's still allowed in Israel is beyond my comprehension.
