they might have needed those tires :-)

It does demonstrate increased missile range they are saying, it could have hit a building.

only one serious injury because people are listening to air raid sirens and taking cover.

FOX showing proof it was a Syrian missle. Said Syria is supporting Hezbollah and Hezbollah hitting Israeli apartment building.

MSNBC: Iran says a ceasefire and exchange of prisoners would be acceptable.

I think this is stunning news that they have completely and utterly injected themselves as controlling Hezbollah.

I have a feeling those tires were set on fire on purpose, not hit by an errant missile. It's just a gut feeling but I could very well be wrong.

If I hadn't heard his whiney voice, I'd have sworn it was James Zogby or any one of th multitude of reporters we've heard in the last few days.

And he was loud and he was sort of mean sounding.

I'm looking for a transcript; it was amazing. It's like he's not even a conservative or compassionate.

And there's no doubt he hates the Jews.

Al-Aqsa = West Bank, This could potentially be a 3 front war before even Syria or Iran get involved ( Gaza, West Bank and Lebanon)

Yes! because it sounds like those little katush(sp) missles only carry 44 lbs of explosives and they are getting plenty of attention.

FOX saying Hezbollah has hundreds of these long range missles. That it's only an hour's drive from Haifa to Tel Aviv. Any FReepers still in Tel Aviv? Sofaman's son was but he flew out to London yesterday. Prayers for all.

that's just great, you train them, supply them, harbor them and then let them off the chain. And now you want to deny any responsibility for their actions. That's just peachy
