You are right to be concerned...the Homeland Security Dept. put out a warning yesterday to WE in the USA...to be careful because some of the things that are happening in the ME...COULD put us in danger here.

Also..I heard that we have a LOT more to Hezbollah here than al-queda.

The number "4,000" out of the 25,000 has been reported a couple of time as being the number of Americans in Lebanon who want to leave, according to State Dept.

I'll bet the IDF is trying to track down any target beacons.

Those maps you've been posting are great but could you just post the links instead? Heavy graphics make it hard for dial-uppers.

Mike Tobin? Just a guess since I didn't see the report.

Sorry I didn't see your post before I have to get something done today. It wasn't him. Tobin was great. It was a blonder man with a neck wider than his ears. Like a wt. lifter.

This is a screen grab of the video...the whole video shows them targeting the convoy, huge exlosion, secondary explosions, and then this piece flying into the sky

I guess the best way to get to Iran from Lebanon would be through Syria, then cut into Turkey around the Iraq/Turkey border and into Iran.

I think you are right. Hopefully they have more info about the transmitters than can be found on the net.

Probably referring to Gaza and the West Bank as Palestine.

Are you sure it wasn't Mike Tobin? His neck is so thick, he's like a buck in rut. He just screams testosterone.

He's on now. He looks hot. He should take his shirt off so that he can cool down. Anyone agree? :-)

(Lack of sleep is showing apparently!)
