Funny how Mubarek is only calling on Israel to have an unconditional cease-fire..so things can calm down.

Also, they will be opening a checkpoint between Egypt and Gaza on Tuesday for about 8 hours...so people can flee...or the terrorists can get more weapons??

thought it was a terrible mistake at the time, maybe it'll still prove to be. But perhaps it's given Israel some green stamps, that they are cashing in a bit now.

Israel did everything the world leaders told them to do and more

NONE of it worked ... that is why Israel is taking matters into her own hands to deal with these terrorists

The weird thing is that I'm hoping that this Hezbollah thing will escalate into WWIII, just to get it over with. I'm not at all happy that this thought has come to me, but it's there nonetheless.

Chances are that the Israeli government is too sane to let this escalate too far. I'm not completely sure the other side is that sane, however. Still, it's likely that we're just going to kick the can down the road a bit further.

I hope that the end result will not include multiple nuclear fireballs, but I'm not optimistic--hence my weird wish that we just get it over with here and now.

Damn, I really hate this, and I've almost finished that bottle of wine.

Good night all. May tomorrow bring better news . . .

"According to Jennifer the Israelis now have a plane that can fly to Iran without refueling........."

Can it fly back, too? Or is it one of those disposable models?

"They have to put Hezbollah in its place," said Osama Hajir, 51, a resident of an Arab neighborhood.

I remember not many years ago when conventional wisdom was that arabs would never attack other arabs. They now do it daily.

It's been known for several years that their F-16's can do it with wing fuel tanks. They also have subs with missiles.

Yes, the F-16I Extended Range. They also bought 5,000 bunker-busters from the US.

I don't think you made things better for yourself by posting that post about Condi...nope...not here.

Yes, I know there are a chunk of Freepers that are Condi lovers. I'm not one of them. Too liberal. She's pro-choice you know. And like Colin, has been swayed by the Pali glib talk. Plus she's never held elective office. She's smart, speaks Russian, which is a plus, plays piano beautifully, but is not Presidential quality. I'm for Allen myself.
