"barbaric, atrocious, and massacre". Sounds more like they are describing their policy.

If you were there RDTF, would you accept their offer?

Marines from the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit evacuated 43 Americans from Lebanon on Monday

I wouldn't mind being stuck in Lebanon if it meant I could have hung out with a bunch of Marines, even for a short while. God bless them.

I have never doubted that Israel could take care of Hezbollah, Lebanon, Syria...or even Iran, if necessary.

I just worry the most about their "will to win" at this point.

Exactly my thinking. If Condi doesn't go right now (next few days)...it may be a signal that Israel is not nearly finished with the task.

Here's what intrigued me today- the same article discussing Olmert's speech has had all KINDS OF DIFFERENT headlines- leading the reader to come to different conclusions before even reading the article....

Lot's of mixed messages.

---Just now- how bout this- Judge Nap talked with McCain today who said this ME mess will not be resolved til there are Israeli boots on the ground in Lebanon..

The Arab nations have to be quaking in their boots. Not only does Iran threaten the oil industry, the present balance of nations in the ME, but it threatens the Saudi's main tourist industry. Ahmanutjob would have the hordes circling a well rather than the rock in Mecca.

BERLIN, July 17 (Reuters) - More than 1,000 Lebanese and Palestinians staged an anti-Israeli protest at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate on Monday, police said.

A Reuters witness said demonstrators were chanting “death to Israel” and “death to Zionists”, while some carried placards bearing the image of Hizbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

Police said around 1,200 people took part in the protest at the German capital’s famous landmark, not far from a major memorial to the millions of Jews killed in the Holocaust.

"Dallas is now the Darling of Liberals". (Paraphrase)
Dallas, once the Conservative stronghold of Texas, has had a Major demographic change and "minorities" are now the majority. The Conservatives have been ethnically cleansed and are now dispersed into surrounding communities.
