I don't think iran has one - and if they did, and got one off against israel - they would have to be:

- sure the warhead would work, not having tested it
- sure the missile would go to the right place
- sure israel wouldn't intercept it

and once they fire the thing (success or not), they are toast 15 minutes later.

Maybe Israel can get this place cleaned up for once and for all.

Oh I don't think Israel can do that all by herself

Though I do think she can send a VERY clear message ... especially with the US in the area if the lunatic terrorists try anything stupid

That's why we aren't seeing many of the arab countries (except Iran & Syria) saying hardly anything

Haaretz now reporting air raid sirens in Hafia were a false alarm

"believe me, if Natalie's body was found tomorrow - more americans would be interested in that topic, then in this potential for world war III"

When I went to class at the university on Friday, there was only one guy (He's Army Reserve) in the entire class who knew that ANYTHING was going on that might have the slightest affect on their lives.

Teacher, however, is on top of world politics. She's Cuban, came to the US, legally, when Castro took over and she HATES all illegal immigrants and liberals.

They can not carry "live" coverage while the missiles are incoming. It allows the enemy to correct fire, or concentrate fire.

05:37 IDF: Latest attacks in Lebanon are against radar stations used by Hezbollah (AP)"

Hezbollah sure has a lot of sophisticated equipment for a terrorist organization, don't they? I know Iran has been funding them for a long time. With the current hardware they have, I wonder if Iran was planning soon a major attack against Israel using Hezbollah, and that we are witnessing Israel's preemptive strike.

Interesting also that Israel hit Hamas first, but in a more controlled manner. Hezbollah may have always been the primary target, and Israel hit Hamas first to prevent them from opening up a second front in Gaza when the IDF cut loose on Hezbollah.

So the attacks and arrests in Gaza may have been to prevent a two front war, not to incite one.

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

Slacker! LOL!

I've been so worried about this but I absolutely had to take a break today.

Look... as I posted at some point last night, this morning, whenever (because it has all become a blur to me): I think everyone on the planet with a brain is frightened.

Maybe we should all crack open a beer (or a tea, for those who don't imbibe) and begin praying. Not that we all haven't been praying.

I should just shut up now. :)
