I did not quite catch it, but it seems to me he was going to ask the PM a question in Arabic. He is very good looking.
Me too, but Mike needs to get his vest on. Gee, they seem to take crazy chances. I guess that's the 'mom' in me.
Thanks for the heads up!!
I'm in touch through email with somone from Haifa. They don't have electric all the time. She had been getting a shelter that hadn't been used since the first Gulf War ready Thursday and Friday.
Phones are in and out. Here's a little of her experience.
"Well we had another pretty bad barrage about twenty minutes ago. I recognised the block of houses that was hit, as its in the same street as good friends of ours. I immediately phoned them and his wife couldn't hardly talk to me she is so shell shocked...Her name is XXX. She is pretty young with three daughters. I was worried she was alone, as her husband was my husbands XXX. Thank the Lord he is at home and they were in the shelter."

He does...and it's pointed directly from MadMood's hand.
News?
I think the weekend allowed people to calm down and realize that this is currently a war between Israel and Hezbollah/Hamas/Lebanon. Not a world war just yet, so let's buy something.
I didn't keep up very well yesterday. Is there any news from rebel_yell2?
Certainly these are Germans who don't remember the terrorism of Hitler?
Later in the afternoon, the bomb terrorist was taken to an isolated location to be destroyed.
I sure hope you're right, or rather that the leadership in Israel has the cojones to complete the mission fully.
A little dream I had was that Israel "floods the zone" with a heavy ground presence, covered from the air by Apaches, UAV's and F-16's after they complete the artillery prep. Then, when they have Hizbollah sufficiently degraded and bottled up, they do a pincer toward Damascus, with a couple of armored divisions coming over the top of the Golan Heights, while a division is detached from the Lebanese force. Meanwhile, American forces move in from Iraq with both major ground campaigns preceded by a lightning version of shock and awe against Syrian command and control. Such a scenario would be able to complete the regime change in Syria and completely trap Hizbullah terr@rists forces throughout Lebanon and Syria. This would severely degrade the terr@rist "insurgency" in Iraq and allow Lebanese regular army to take over security in the south of the country as a missle-free zone. US and Israeli forces would control territory from Iran to the Mediteranean, tremendously reducing Islamonazi freedom of operation.
Hey, a guy's allowed to dream, ain't he?
So France is going to surrender to Hezbullah? I didn't expect this to happen so soon...
Not that I'm aware of...I'm in and out this morning so far...back to work now til noon...
CANNOT WAIT to hear RUSH today:)
Either way. The creep thought the Israelis would be to distracted to catch him. He was WRONG!
I wasn't going to raise the issue, but there IS a priority system in place to determine who gets to evacuate and in what order. Tourists go before permanent residents.
I MAY get out on the French-chartered ferry today or tomorrow. If I do, I promise that I will make no more French jokes for the rest of my life (as hard as that may be).
