You just keep on waiting along with all the rest that have been waiting since 48', this is just another battle in the greater Arab/Israeli wars, everybody's going to go back home in a week or so, tensions will ease, and at some point 6 months to 6 years down the road we can do this all over again. All these "intelligent minds" don't have the stones to do what's necessary to finish this job
I was reading an article about Iran being pissed because of all the rockets squandered in Lebanon. They origionally were bragging about having 13,000 of them there. Took them two decades to get them in place!
>>read Matthew when Jesus talks about the signs will be so obvious.<<
I went with Revelation because that is the book you referenced but I prefer the Gospels and the words Jesus.
She nailed it..as we see over and over and over.
Gold Meir also said "We can forgive them killing our sons but can't forgive that they make us kill theirs."
Sometimes Israel is almost too good for their own safety.
It's a whole new game. The status quo of the last 60 years doesn't exist anymore. It appears some people haven't been paying attention.
I am not the only one who has made this comparsion. I have seen/heard Hannity do it several times. is Sean dumb ??
The MOAB is 30 feet (10 metres) in length with a diameter of 40.5 inches (102.9 cm). It weighs 21,000 lbs. (9.5 metric tons), high explosives accounting for 18,700 lbs. (8.4 metric tons) of its weight. [1] Due to its large size and weight, it has to be thrown out of the back of a cargo aircraft — usually a C-130, but a C-17 could probably be used as well. It is guided by global positioning technology and does not use a parachute, so it can be dropped from a higher altitude and with higher accuracy than its predecessor, the BLU-82. It is the first US weapon to use Russian-style lattice control surfaces (like those used on the R-400 Oka and Vympel R-77). It is only slightly smaller than the Grand Slam bomb of World War II.
The MOAB uses 18,700 pounds of H-6 as its explosive filler[2]. At 1.35 times the power of TNT, H-6 is one of the more powerful explosives used by the US military.
Although its effect has often been compared to that of a nuclear weapon, it is only about one thousandth the power of the nuclear bomb used against Hiroshima.
It was first tested with the explosive tritonal on March 11, 2003, at a test site in Eglin, Florida.

Indeed.
It does get a bit old doesn't it? If people would just live everyday under the assumption that it is the last day, we'd probably all be better off. And as you clearly point out, the good ol' days weren't always so good. Call me an optimist, but I'm perfectly happy to be alive today, and if tomorrow is the end, I'm just fine with that too.
**Lot couldn't find 10 righteous**
I believe you meant Abraham. Lot conscience was in sad shape when the angels yanked him out of town just in time.
Abraham's plea for sparing the city wasn't a complete failure. God delivered his nephew Lot and his daughters. Such was God's regard for faithful Abraham.
I understand the emotions, jhp. I am frustrated too, but refuse to give in to pessimism. Could you tell me what exactly what IS necessary to FINISH the job? What scenario would you suggest that would completely disarm Hezbollah and prevent Israel from ever being attacked again?
About as dumb as Britney Spears. They are both extremely gifted at self-promotion...and apparently there isn't much room left over for anything else upstairs after that.
I know I've certainly been paying attention, but perhaps you weren't insinuating that I wasn't. I would never suggest that the "status quo" of the last 60 years exists, or that it should exist. I would hope that the poker players have learned a thing or two over the past 60 years. And as wise poker players know very well, it isn't wise to show one's hand.

Ooh - I like that islam - waslam.
Hezblahblah just couldn't wait, could they?
I totally forgot about that statement by Golda Meir. That should be on a t-shirt.
So that makes it OK? I suppose, if the 9-11 planes had missed the WTC, Shep wwould have given al queda a pass too. What a maroon.
