Did explain that other countries that could evacuated "hundreds" of citizens could do so with one or two bus convoys, but State Department felt that multiple long convoys of Americans would not be safe for them.

Yes, that could scream out "Hey LOOK! We're a bunch of infidels trying to leave!"

Never a good idea in those situations. ;-)

uh oh, looks like Hizbullah wants to raise the ante. This is what happens when you let a bunch of gueriallas fire off a missle with a 200km range and 1300 lb. warhead (Zelvta sp)

You are right - and yet it is a lesson that begins in school. Give in to bullies or blackmailers and you will be paying continually.

I wonder about what measures they can take to defeat the zillions of mines, booby traps and IED's that are no doubt waiting for them.

Also, I'm not sure that the commitment of the ground forces need to roll up the pukes means they can't cover the Golan heights, especially given Israel's mastery of the air to keep Syria in check. Like I said, my dream scenario is actually going on the offensive simultaneously with two Israeli armored spearheads and an American attack from the east.

Why? It has been posted many times on FR. I ask because extra vigiliance will be required in those places here in our country. I know Chicago is one of those places and I have family going there this week. I also have family in Detroit. Lebanon is not the ONLY place Americans are in danger from these individuals. geesh.

Translated: USA will pay for rebuilding with our oil dollars because our leaders refuse to get off their rears and do something domestically to stop our dollars from feeding the roots of terrorism.

I have, too and elsewhere. It lists the terror cells and where they're concentrated. The Houston Chronicle has published it more than once because Houston has all three major cells in the area.

Israel: Long-range missile destroyed

- An Israeli airstrike in Lebanon on Monday destroyed at least one long-range Iranian missile capable of hitting Tel Aviv, military officials said.

Israeli aircraft targeted a truck carrying the weapons before they could be launched, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of military regulations. The force of the blast sent at least one missile flying into the air, but it fell nearby.

During nearly a week of fighting, Hezbollah militants have fired missiles up to 25 miles into Israel. But officials have raised concerns the guerrilla group could strike Tel Aviv, about 80 miles south of the border with Lebanon
