what would be better for Hezbollah than to attack a US target? Won't be the first time right? So why expose ourselves?

Besides, if we re-route resources, it takes those resources away from something/ somewhere else, right?

Iran will say/do anything to appease the rest of the world. And continue to develop nukes.

Rush has always told us how much would happen whenever he went on vacation. I doubt even he expected all of this!

you don't see counterfeith US postage stamps for the same reason you do not see counterfeith $1.00 bills. The operation would cost more than the return

Penalty for transporting a refilled helium tank: $250,000 and five years in a federal prison.

Phrase you never hear in your life: "Hey, this weekend you wanna transport a refilled helium tank?"

A disproportionate response is an effective response.

Drudge has a siren because Israel has offered to accept a cease fire if the two hostages are returned and Hizbollah withdraws from the border area to be replafced by Lebanese forces.

Israel appears to have dropped its demand that Hiz disarm, but I still do not think Hiz will accept these terms because they will lose serious face if they do.

Makes sense. but it was reported that Marines are in Cyprus. But Blair may have implored President Bush to let him take care of it for us. Either way. Thank You Great Britain.

CNN showed footage of the ferry evacuation. The reporter said that only one American was on board and she was the wife of a French citizen. He did say that more Americans would be able to board tomorrow. Is this correct?

Well...now Jane Skinner is saying that it is AMERICAN helicopters getting the Americans out...

Before, she said Britsh helicopters.
