Well, I would like to say thank you for your service. Seriously, I welcome the opportunity to thank any vet. My hat is off to anyone who lays their life on the line for this country. Actions speak much louder than words, IMHO. Thanks muchas!

Is that a surprise? (that the French would side with Lebanon) though I don't think anyone is angry at Lebanon per-se, but the terrorists who are using land in Lebanon, Palestine, etc.

She was having too much fun with this one. And she doesn't have to worry about her weight, that's for sure.

He is a LITTLE calmer...but, John had had someone on from Israel earlier...who was saying that they are trying to just hit Hezbollah targets.

First think Bob said was that that guy wasn't telling the truth..oopsy.

Bob says that for the last 3 years he has been working as a contractor in Iraq, the contract is from the Pentagon..

He said he has spent time with the Lebanese...and he seems to be taking up for the Lebanese...and says that Israel is just putting too much pressure on Lebanon...and by hitting them while going after Hezbollah...they are just "making them more mad (hezzies)...

That was the end...not much fireworks...and he was calmer...but, I still disagree with him blaming Israel.
