Got to laugh a little. Otherwise I would just get an ulcer over all of this.

LOL...guess he figures if she made it all this time in Israel and other parts of the ME during some activity like this, that she's a good 'shield' because she keeps coming out ok. Ha.

I really like Jennifer...and Amy Kellogg, too. I'm afraid with Shep now where Jennifer has been that we won't get her as much...and she has been great (through this, and just during her normal covering the region) and knows much more about the culture and everything. Hopefully they put her somewhere where she gets to do more than back up Shep and let him cower by her!

We just walked back in the house and caught Shep's act and we fell out laughing at his antics. First time we have seen his new "do" - my kids think he looks like Scott Peterson now.

The taking of al-Ghajar...

"...The Alawites of Al Ghajar belong to the same ethnic-religious group that holds almost all the levers of power in Syria..."

= Israel's first [symbolic] strike against Syria?

I'm waiting for Shep to hold up a baby or put on a hat to be blown off like last year.

Not sure but he needs some of that black hair spray. I see some light shinning off the top of his head. :D

TY. Excellent points, all. I guess I'm still a bit concerned about the IED threat, based on the fact that our boys in Iraq are still vexed as it seems they are quickly planted and obviously very hard to detect.

A follow-on: Can armor move well through areas that are heavily cratered by the arty prep?

Shep has a bold spot

He's back from the commercials now, ducking down next to a folding chair, with the cameraman standing, so Shep looks to be extra-low and scairt. Good gravy, this man is a showboat.

Mike and Jennifer and David Lee and Amy are unflappable...but Shep, and one of the gals on CNNi throughout the night in Haifa (Paula someone) sure have a whole different tactic...duck and dodge. LOL. You'd think if they are taking cues from the camera and sound guys (locals) that they'd be down also...but it sure is an odd angle now with Jennifer and Shep sitting on the floor... :-)

Atlas Shurggs was on Rush earlier and is going to have a long report from the rally, including Hillary being booed.
