Aha, a Texan to tell this to. NBC News was just talking with some American students stranded in the airport in Beirut. (That's what they *said* - Beirut.)

One girl they talked to goes to American U and was blogging on her laptop. They said she was from NATCH - UH - TOE - CHUZ, Texas.

Now, I don't know if she was from Nacogdoches, TX, or from Natchitoches, LA - but either way, they were so far wrong on their pronunciation, they obviously didn't hear her *say* her hometown to them.

How do they come up with this stuff? Did she *say* Nack-uh-doe-chuz - or did she *say* Nack-uh-tawsh? She obviously did not say anything that started with "Natch." What in the world did they write down in their notes to mangle it so badly? Grrr.

Question: If Israel's goal is to invade far enough into Lebanon to insure that the missiles cannot strike Israel essentially creating a buffer zone, THEN as Hezbollah attempts to fire longer and longer range missiles then don't they in essence give Israel license to invade farther or bomb further and further away from the Israel border?

Seems to me Hezbollah would be better of to claim it had no long range missiles WHILE this was going on.

"the Israeli people couldn't handle a ground invasion of Lebanon due to casualties"

Just keep bombing and shelling Hezbollah. We'll supply the bombs.

1. I heard someone on CNN reporting
2. I hope it was just a left winger talking.

Number two is the answer to number one.

Fred Barnes was just mentioning on the Panel that Condi may be going soon. Is that the latest or is Fred behind the curve?

Thanks for any info I've been completely away from the computer and any updates today.

The road bombing is not so much to trap Hizb'allah as it is to keep them from moving more missiles close to the border.

Reporting Hezbollah is trying to launch Iranian rockets....not sure how accurate this all is. The Arab guy is whispering, and I can hear the American giving his report in the background.
