No....he just wants to trash the president. I bet he blames Bush, if he gets a hangnail.

"Does Hezbollah have any idea what is about to come screaming down at them?"

I hope you're right... but I have a feeling Olmert might once again paper over a violation by the enemy. Israelis should take to the streets to oust him.

A MOAB might be good for taking out bunkers. At least the sound it would make would probably break the ear drums of anyone in close proximity.

"I shot a rocket in the air
where it lands, I do not care
I get my rockets wholesale."

CNN figured out how to blame this on Israel yet?

[Battleofbritain]

Foxnews just took down the banner about this, and I haven't seen anyhting on the Israeli news sites... it looks like it's already being papered over.

Bibi talks a great game. Bibi had his chance and nothing changed at all.

[doug from upland]

For everyone unhappy about a truce, I guess this is welcome news. (as it should be)

[jrooney]

Actually Foxnews was just discussing this again on one of theit live fox alerts with william lajaness.

No, a MOAB is a fuel-air bomb which explodes above ground and is intended to burn people alive. I posted a thread a few years ago when they tested the first one in Pensacola. Think Napalm spread over a few football fields.

[elhombrelibre]

Thanks, but I realized that. I believe it would make a hell of a noice though.

[OldFriend]

Just got here.....any news on the captured FNC journalist?

[DocRock]

"No, a MOAB is a fuel-air bomb which explodes above ground and is intended to burn people alive"

And it consumes all the oxygen in the area. All of it.

Fired at the Israel troops in Lebanon, no doubt.

I'm making a prediction - unlike when Israelis fire into those areas and mass numbers of Lebanese civilians appear out of nowhere, when Hezbollah fired these rockets towards Israeli targets, there were mysteriously no civilians around..If that turns out to be the case, you are going to ask me for the lotto numbers from the next drawing, or who's going to win the next Super Bowl.

Or you are going to say "well duh, Israel doesn't use human shields, unlike Hezbollah".

[nopardons]

No, it isn't; not even close.

[Normal4me]

Have you been watching the news? It's ALL civilian filled areas, neighborhoods, business districts, etc. Wrong weapon for the task.

[elhombrelibre]

"The MOAB could also be effective against hard-target entrances such as caves or tunnels, and soft to medium surface targets covering extended areas. However, multiple strikes with lower yield bombs may be more effective as they can more precisely deliver the ordnance to the exact targets and can be delivered by fighter/bombers such as the F-15 with greater stand-off capability than the C-130. High altitude carpet-bombing with much smaller 2,000 or 1,000 pound bombs delivered via B-52s is also highly effective at cover."

I was wrong. I thought that would at least wait until Haloween beore they started shooting again.

But on second thought I should have known that they operate on the principle of never giving a sucker an even break.

Hi all, just coming on, my question is these "katyushas"
were reported as fired from "Northern Lebanon", I didn't think Katyushas had that kind of range, either they weren't
Katyushas or they were fired from middle Lebanon?

Used to be ''CNN = Clinton News Network aka ''Communist News Network''........Now its...... CNN= Capitulating Nazzrallah Network''!
