I did not mean for you to think I was saying you are a racist.

What a "quoted" is a saying I have heard for a long time..and in most cases..between 2 black people.

And, I have heard it in context of a "put down"..that one will never be able to "shed" that drop of blood.

I also did NOT to mean that being Jewish whether in the religious or any other way is something to be ashamed of.

I, too, was referring to the religious..way..but, since I am NOT a Jewish person...and you want to drop it..consider it is dropped.

two of the four think we will be involved with boots on the ground.

All believe we will supply intelligence, material and supplies.

They also think Syria will be involved overtly with the next few weeks.

Well, my $.02 is that this will encompass most of Asia Minor and Asia proper. The IDF has already said they'll be employing ground forces across the border. That was part of the reason behind the leaflet drop the other day, to get civilians out of there. Syria's already said they'll come to the aide of Hezbollah and Lebanon against Israel, plus they're still housing the leader of Hammas, who's holding a soldier hostage.

Israel has already performed a supersonic, low-altitude fly-by of the Syrian president's summer home. Once it becomes inevitable that Israel will hit Syria, they'll likely use the WMD's that I believe Russia moved from Iraq to the Bekaa Valley. Once that happens, watch the Jericho missiles fly. We'll get involved since Iranian ground forces have to go through Iraq to get to Israel.

North Korea could get involved since they have a deep military relationship with Tehran, and someone pointed out the other day that from Pyongyang to Sacramento is 5600mi, but from Pyongyang to Israel is a hair over 4900mi.

Whether or not that happens, I think both China and Russia could get involved, too, because of their respective dealings with Iran, and their desires for regional influence.

i've heard there has been a call up of at least an infantry division worth of reserves. I can't believe there is even a question over whether there should be a ground offensive. The groundwork has been laid - bridges, fuel depots, roads, airstrips, etc. have been hit, the battlefield has been prepared. Finish the job Olmert. I think he is waiting for the international community to do it for him, which, given the UNs track record, is a mistake. Or he may be waiting for a sufficient escalation from Hizbullah to go in, like firing off a missile at TelAviv. In my opinion killing 8 in Hafia should have been enough to send the groundpounders in

There was an article very recently that reported Iran was going to beginning gas rationing.

yes, and I saw a bunch of troops on I-5...although they may be Guardsmen heading to the border area.

Another one tortured and murdered by Hizbollah at that time was Lieuenant Colonel William R. Higgins, USMC.
