Bibi said, over the weekend, that he stands with Olmert. And isn't Olmert the lucky one?

War is not a media event.

This is 21st Century. Like it or not, it's a media event.

Of course Bibi stands with Olmert in this one. It doesn't mean that he'll necessary approve his actions.

Can we have a blackout here? Please.

Particularly since Shep Smith has now arrived with his soap opera/Oprah Winfrey approach to the news.

Maybe the Saud family is saying one thing...and the Wahhabists are saying something different.

Israel has a coalition goverment, and it is inherently unstable. That means, if Olmert does not act tough, his government will fall.

This is an excellent time for a hawk to seize power in the goverment.

Perhaps Bibi?

We can only hope. If that should happen the whole nature of this conflict would change in a nanosecond.

Been over at another board (Timebomb) and the general consenus seems to be the blackout means it curtain call time. I don't buy it . . . yet.
