No problem.

I'm in and out tonight, the kids are due over this weekend and there's a project I want finished before then, so Freepmail or pings have a better chance of getting my attention.

"Every Dem prez since Truman has been a disaster - weak and traitorous."

Very true and very dangerous for the times in which we live.

Good night - we'll all have to check back in tomorrow.

Burbank Karl: you're doing great work and it is very much appreciated!

"and this heat is wearing me out.

100 degrees at 10:00 at night...ugh"

As they say: it's not the heat, it's the humidity.

That is horrible. God's judgement will be severe for those people who warp the minds of these children.I cannot and will not ever understand why we send billions to the Palestinians so they can wage war on Israel and brain wash their kids this way, it makes me so angry.

IDF calling up three reserve battalions

I know a lot of people, especially on TV, are pontificating on whether or not Israel is going in with ground forces, but I cannot imagine they are calling these reserves for show.

[Calpernia]

[sofaman]

This is the culture....hatred of Jews and Israel is taught to Plaestinian kids from very early ages..

[bnelson44]

Yes

[jeffers]

Round-outs, possibly suited for specific tasks in response to observations that may or may not have made command nervous when they might or might not have went in earlier today.

[daybreakcoming]

I was hoping to see that. Israeli plane shot down indeed!!
Did you see them take off running - looks like the guy in the red shirt fell down.

[sofaman]

BEIRUT - Hezbollah on Monday rejected a ceasefire on terms dictated by Israel, with a senior member of the Lebanese Shiite militia rejecting the conditions set by the Jewish state.“We accept no conditions for a ceasefire, whatever the pressure,” Abdullah Kasir, a member of Hezbollah’s central committee, told AFP.

[2111USMC]

You're right. I think Sofaman had some info about that.

From JP: "Defense Minister Amir Peretz approved on Monday the summoning of an additional three battalions for reserve duty. The orders were expected to be distributed on Tuesday"

I think I read somewhere that some units were being pulled from the West Bank to go to northern positions.

[sofaman]

"Asked whether Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, was still in Lebanon despite Israeli efforts to target him, Kasir said that ”Hezbollah’s leadership and Nasrallah are at the heart of the battle ...

“We will never leave, even if Lebanon is reduced to scorched earth.”

[bnelson44]

Is that 3 more in addition to the 2 they called up late last week?
