Now Brit, that's another story. He's the only reason I put up with Geraldo, Shep and Greta (add Bill O'Reilly to the "gag me" list". Brit Hume is a smart guy.

I've seen him take on Juan Williams, verbally fillet him and sneak a little grin after wards.


That said I can see why FOX isn't sending him to Israel. If they lost Brit there wouldn't be any reason to keep watching FOX. The loss of the others would just be considered collateral damage and good for ratings.
David Lee Miller seems like a level headed fellow though I wish he'd be more concerned for his personal welfare.

Hm....that is interesting..

But, I wouldn't doubt it. I am sure America has been a supplier for Israel for a long time.

Just saw it replayed, talking about the missle that killed 8, the Hezbollah guy said that "it would have been much worse if we hit the petrochemical factories, but we clearly are within reach of them". Makes sense, if you're at war then target refineries. Just seems a little bold to see on TV.

Thanks for finding that and posting it, KJC1.

I was going to catalog the lies and outrageous statements, but there were too many, so I'll just note that when the Ambassador complains about the Israeli "occupation" that Wolf couldn't rouse himself out of his stupor to mention that Israel complied with the agreement by vacating land and the Palestinians did not comply with the agreement. And neither did Lebanon by not controlling their southern border.

US Congressional Delegation Visits Iraq Amid New Violence

Republican Pete Hoekstra, from Michigan, told VOA that U.S. troops will keep coming home in small numbers over the coming months, but that they will remain in Iraq, until the job is done. He said the message the delegation heard on their trip was very consistent:

"You are making significant progress here, but you cannot leave now," said Pete Hoekstra. "You need to provide the environment for the Iraqi people to be successful and determine their future."

Hoekstra says he believes the new Iraqi government is working hard to improve the security situation in the country.

"I think there is a commitment by the Iraqi government to get this violence under control," he said. "They know that they need to do that. They have to improve the security situation, if they are going to be successful on the economic and political fronts."

An IDF reserve infantry division was called up on Sunday to prepare for a possible ground operation in south Lebanon, according to The Jerusalem Post. Armored personnel carriers (APCs) and tanks were reportedly moving north and command posts were being set up along the northern border.

From that article you linked, a little off topic but related:

But there were some positive developments Sunday. Kidnappers released six hostages from a group of about 30 seized from a club Saturday in Baghdad. The hostages include members of the Iraqi Olympic Committee and top sporting officials. There is still no word on the fate of the remaining hostages.

Here a muslim terrorist, there a muslim terrorist, everywhere a muslim terrorist...
