Alan Colmes kept going on with that line last night.

I bet if rockets were aimed at his ugly arse, he wouldn't think the response was disproportionate.

Hey Allegra ... thanks for holding down the fort .. and, as always, for your service. How're things by you?

Thanks. Things are OK here today. We still watch the developments to our west with keen interest.

My own neck of the woods was pretty quiet today. There was some trouble in Mahoudiya today, though.

And the good guys got some more of that Mahdi scum.

Love the new tagline. I thought of that too; I'd rather be in Iraq than Lebanon right now.

bad move, either way. They would probably go together anyway, in one of their "together appearances" that benenfit them both in the eyes of their followers

That newsflash has been going around since yesterday from a unconfirmed and questionable news source...Not commenting about the accuracy or not of the flash, but it needs confirmation. A lot of confirmation.

EU should remember what happened when the powers tried to buy off Hitler. England should remember what happened when the Anglosaxon kingdoms tried to buy off the Danes...LOTS of historical examples of how buying off one's enemies backfire. They do what they want to do, and often up the ante for payoffs, and the payers end up with less than they started with....unless they finally get the strength to fight. But it's never as easy as not paying off the enemies to begin with.

State Dept Briefing Live now.

64 Americans out of country, but more State Department staffers have moved in to replace them and help with further evacuation.

Airbridge will take out more, but majority of evacuation will take place using commercial and military seaborne assets.

15000 people have registered with the Embassy.
