MSNBC has Lebanese President addressing his nation.

[roses of sharon]

I agree, MSNBC has Martin Fletcher who so far has been very fair.

A couple of American tourists visiting Tiberias on Saturday, noted that in spite of the two rocket attacks on the city, they were still safer there than in Washington D.C., where they live

Sometimes the truth is startlingly funny.

[RDTF]

he just said
(paraph.)

'Hezsballah is only the finger of Iran and syria, whose bloody hands and twisted minds have caused this'

[AliVeritas]

I know Rice better get that June 6th package to Iran off the table ASAP. This is Clinton politics, and we all saw what happened with NK... no trading at all from where I sit, you keep doing what you were told not to... the countries should have the cahones to shut them down one way or another.

Notice (snip):

WESTERN INCENTIVES TO IRAN RELEASED

UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The world powers are prepared to provide Iran with advanced technology and possibly even nuclear research reactors if it agrees to suspend uranium enrichment under a package of incentives revealed in full for the first time Thursday.

The package - put together by the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany - was given to the Iranians on June 6 and some details were leaked at the time.

But the full proposal showed a broader range of economic, political and energy incentives. They include promoting Tehran's membership in the World Trade Organization, and the possible lifting of U.S. and European restrictions on the export of civilian aircraft and telecommunications equipment.

Under the incentives, the six powers are prepared to help Iran build state-of-the-art light water nuclear power reactors and to give legally binding guarantees that nuclear fuel will be provided for these civilian reactors meant to produce energy.

[hipaatwo]

[janetjanet998]

Leb PM slamming Israel..and the Israeli war machine...calling on the country to unite...no mention of Hezbollah

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Rule #1
When you finally venture in to clean it (because the "live in filth and be embarrased when your friends come over line does not work, because friends are, what else, boys) DO NOT look at the floor behind the toilet.

Rule #2
Gloves, gloves and more gloves

Back to topic, everytime I catch the news it seems worse and worse. Prayers for all.

[RDTF]

It's still live on Fox

also Fox just reported head of Arab League said peace process is 'dead'

[Windcatcher]

They should have thought of their well-being before welcoming Hezbollah into their country (and they *did* welcome them).

[hipaatwo]

Now that's plain freaky. Usually the Arab League slams Israeli when they sneeze.

[Kozak]

If I remember correctly the greenhouses were paid for with money donated by people in the US to help the Pali's develop their economy.

[SE Mom]

MSNBC covering the address also.......live.

[dc27]

I'm sure Boxer, Feinstein and Sam Farr (the congressman with a U.N. flag posted outside his capital office door) will do the right thing. As usual.

I live in Prunedale and can't stand Sam Farr. The guy is a disgrace.

[carmenbmw]

Dont forget Rule #3:
Large bottle of Clorox spray!

Iraq pauses amid violence to condemn Israeli actions

MILITANT CLERIC SAYS U.S. IS ALSO TO BLAME

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr said Friday that Iraqis would not "sit by with folded hands" while Israel struck at Lebanon, signaling a possible increase in attacks from his mercurial militia, the Mahdi Army.

Leb PM slamming Israel..and the Israeli war machine


I'm not surprised. His country is getting hammered, but deep down inside he knows the best thing for his country is Hezbollah OUT!

[RDTF]

I'm so sorry... (You live in a town called Prunedale)
