I posted that earlier...I thought that I had entered a parallel universe...
Time to choose sides and france knows The U.S. is it's best bet in a crunch.
Didn't France get the morning DNC talking points fax blast...the WH isn't supposed to have any allies on any subject at any time.
oh dear..sorry I missed it...I would have checked to be sure I was breathing...
2 hours and counting ;)
Judaism is a religion, not a race. Someone isn't half Catholic or half Protestant, so they aren't half Jewish. Wesley Clarke by virtue of the fact that his mother was not Jewish, is not Jewish, per Jewish law (Halachah).
What next?
Media won't say this, but recently in Iraq, there's been a dramatic drop in coalition casualties.
Let's cross our fingers and hope things will continue to improve in Iraq.
I'm good, sofa. Spending alot of time rooting for the IDF and the IAF. Hoping Israel will stay the course and get this job done right.
Such a good point.
Just WHO would the Dems talk to, Hezbollah, and where, in one of their headquarters or training camps? Any Dem who says he/she thinks we should "talk" to them should be asked to go meet with them face-to-face themselves, on their turf. LOL.
Someone here said earlier that the way Dems talk, you'd think they have some magic machine to fix it all.
Love your tagline, Bahbah..
P.S., here is Wesley Clark's early years background, from Wikipedia:
"lark was born in Chicago, Illinois, on December 23, 1944. His father, Benjamin J. Kanne, was a Democratic Chicago Councilman, World War I veteran, delegate at the 1932 Democratic National Convention (where Franklin Roosevelt was first nominated) and lawyer who died in 1948 when Wesley Clark was almost 4 years old.
Benjamin was the son of Jacob Kanne and Ida Goldman, immigrants from Russia (Clark's middle name, Kanne, refers to his grandfather's lineage as a Kohen, a descendant of the ancient Jewish priests).1
After the death, Veneta Updegraff Bogard Kanne, Clark's mother, who was a Methodist, returned to her Ubdegraff parents' home in Little Rock, Arkansas. Through the UpdeGraff line, Wesley Clark's ancestry goes back to American colonial, pre-revolutionary times and the Pennsylvania Dutch/Germans.Three of the "Original 13" who came over from the Dutch sector of Kresfeld Germany and were the first settlers of Pennsylvania were UpdeGraffs (OpdeGraeffs) and UpdGraffs fought in the American Revolutionary War.
Veneta, Clark's mother, went back to work as a bank teller/secretary, raising her son as a single working mother, with the help of Clark's maternal grandparents who worked in an Arkansas lumber mill. The death of Wes Clark's biological father left the nearly four-year old Wes with a speech impediment that he would eventually overcome by the age of 7. During Clark's primary campaign in 2004, his cousin remarked that they grew up poor but that Clark always drove himself to study hard without any prodding from adults, a child consciously limiting his own play time so that he could go study. During this Cold War era, he started learning Russian on his own because he wanted to understand how the other side thought. He stated that the only thing his deceased Democratic Party activist father left him was a navy uniform and a love of family and country. He would find his life's calling in John F. Kennedy's speech, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."
In 1954, when Wesley was 9, Veneta married a former banker Victor Clark, who adopted Wesley.
Wesley grew up Baptist in Little Rock, attended public school, and was very active in the Boys and Girls club and in Southern Baptist Church activities and summer camps.
He graduated from Hall High School in Little Rock as valedictorian, having led the swim team to the state championship."
I like it! Thanks, ROFL!
This is an article that details just what Hezbollah's arsenal is expected to contain.

OMG...Chrissy Matthews just asked some buy from the WaPo..who is in the Middle East.
"What are the Israelis afraid of...??"
Makes sense, the Iranian's attention is elsewhere these days..
Who is that?
LOL, that's good. It seems like "unvarnished" could be changed to "tarnished." Or even "why I made an ass of myself on Fox today" for the subtext.
Anyone catch a report about Israel hitting a Lebanese Army base? It was on MSNBC, I think, a few minutes ago. Supposedly Israel killed some Lebanese soldiers.
They needed somewhere put the live update. As a rule, you cut out your own folks, not the guests.
