because thus far we've all gotten along on this thread so well.

I agree. These threads for the last couple of days have been very informative, and very civil.

Just saw this on Pajamas Media:

16:50 PDT From the Lebanese Foundation for Peace via Gates of Vienna, a new rumor that “the 2 missing captives of the Israeli Army Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev have been smuggled outside Southern Lebanon to the capital…They are secretly being held at the Embassy of Iran in Beirut, under direct Iranian security guards supervision.”

That was a bit weird, watching Jennifer Griffin looking over her left shoulder every five seconds towards where the rockets were coming from.

Very surreal report. Hopefully Hezbollah doesn't dial her in as a result.

Odd, haven't heard any reports over the wires yet of those incoming rockets we heard while Jennifer Griffin was reporting

That is an acquired look. At least it was for me, I had to work on mine. My mom came by it naturally. I think it was her fullblooded Italian and Catholic heritage.

If "worried and nervous" means pompous and arrogant, then I agree.

ROFL...Classic.

Didn't I see reports recently of members of Hezbollah being stopped trying to enter the U.S. via the (Southern?) border recently? They may already have agents here.

So far I don't think we've had to suffer from seeing Shep Smith in Israel; that will be the final insult :-)

"You might be thinking of the racist way some people think of black people..."one drop of black blood, makes one a black person"...I don't know."

As you replied to me, I will answer this, although your subtext and use of the word "racist" implying I may be one is sickening. If a child is born of one black parent and one white one, that child would be considered 1/2 black. They would consider themselves so also. That is not racist, it is obvious. Wesley Clark had one Jewish parent. He pointed this out, and considered himself part "Jewish", using the secular definition of Jewish, not the religious one. You don't know me from an Adam's apple, and I have been one of Israel's greatest supporters, if you would care to look up my comments on threads. Because I said Clark was part Jewish, I was jumped on. I used the word in the secular sense which Clark himself has used.

Now, Sofaman sees the definition from the religious sense only, and he is correct. However, there are many, probably most non-Jews out there that would see Clark as one-half Jewish because his father was a Jew (Clark himself sees it that way). It may be incorrect usage of the word Jewish, but that's the way it is in the real world. End of discussion, if there was any to start with. Too much PC going on here. I do admire, though, your coming to what you think is your friend Sofaman's defense. He was doing fine on his own, but it's good to know one has friends.

Better hope the IDF doesn't find out about that if its true. In my estimation, this could cause a regional escalation

Of course Russians are going to say that. After all, Iran and Syria are surrogates of commies in Moscow.

I just watch Biden and Gingrich on MTP...

I told my husband...these two can sit in a TV studio and say things like..."Tell the North Koreans, if they step on step into South Korea, we will take them out"...and other equally "tough guy" pronouncements..

BUT, it isn't their butts on the line...when you have the MSM, the opposition party, almost every world leader...bitching about everything you do from the minute you get up in the morning to complaining because you go to bed at all.

Martin Frost was on Fox yesterday complaining the Bush took a bicycle ride while in Germany....

LET NEWT and BIDEN handle that kind of scrutiny,...and that every single thing they say COULD have internation complications..and see how tough they talk!!!

Smart? I don't know about that, but just that twinkle in O'Reilly and Hennican's eye tells me they don't believe half of what they say. They are pot stirrers, not that I would know anything about that sort of thing. ;)
