He spoke publically for many of us by doing that, and I am so glad he did it.

New poster ....please don't flame me if I do something only a newbie would do

Folks, I can only imagine that there are a growing number of people like me that over the weekend have been completely frustrated my the lack of coverage. As a conservative Christian I believe these are the last days and signs of the end. As such they draw a intense interest that THIS board seemed to be the only/ best way to stay in touch with what was actually happening and what it could mean. I have seen more intelligent analysis (often done with a sense of humor) that I on all of the weekend TV coverage put together.

So I wanted to thank you all. I guess these weekend has hooked me as an official FReeper vs. the occasional lurker (reading without posting.)

Dimona is in the desert in the east central region of Israel. Israel's nuclear weapons labs are located near Dimona, although I'm sure the exact location is a well-guarded secret.

AND, what's this junk about "we have to decide if we want to win?"

Well, quite frankly we haven't really started taking this war seriously. I mean, the population as a whole is not really behind it, and could care less. I think that is what Newt meant.

We all have a lot of anxiety and not enough real information...being armchair analysers, we just have to wait and see.

A lot of what's next depends on Syria and Iran.

Dimona is about 120 miles south of the Lebanon border and has a nuclear power plant if I understand correctly.

Thank you - saw it and sent link to it to my in-laws & email list.

Israel is the first democracy in the ME and with the guidance, perseverance and leadership of President Bush, it will not be the last. All of the pundits - left & right - who talk about our imposing freedom on repressed countries, miss the point.

We have freedom because our forefathers did not. Americans fought to get freedom and liberty, we repeatedly fight in all parts of the globe through the courage and bravery of our armed forces, to keep it.

Terrorists fear freedom spreading through the ME because people will fight back to keep it. The purple fingers held up for the world to see had to send shock and fear into the black hearts of Iranian, Syrian and North Korean leadership.

Israeli general says there won't be a 1978 type operation - more likely limited occupations for clearing purposes

This kind of talk makes me ill and will only invite future attacks

No one knows when the end time will come.

Just live every day as if it is your last. One day that will be true.

This is the best place on earth I know to catch the news.

You will find many people here who are thinking along the lines you mentioned. We don't talk about it all that much on general lists like this, but the times are interesting...

23:36 Peretz authorizes plan for limited call-up of IDF reserves (Haaretz)

Color me confused. Are these additional reserves to the ones already called up, are these the only reserves being called up? What the heck is going on?

Considering she looks to be about 5 years old I don't blame her on wanting to get away from this nightmare...
