Would that anyone who states that the Israeli response is "disproportionate" be shown the image that Fox just showed of the wall of a building pockmarked with the scars of ball bearings. Mike Tobin held up a handful of ball bearings and said that is a unique tag of a Syrian weapon. And that the ball bearings will rip thru human flesh.

Go W! -- "Video: Bush Caught Swearing" - in the "Fleeing Beirut" graphic. Kelly O'Donnell was SO pleased to report this ... she doesn't grasp that folks love that he tells it like it is.

The Hizbullah fired rockets at the Safed area on Monday evening, scoring a direct hit on a home.

Medical teams were on their way to the scene to check for victims.

"the Israeli response is "disproportionate"..."

These idiots. Of course it's disproportionate. The idea is to WIN...not frickin' draw!

Alan Colmes kept going on with that line last night.

Good grief!!! More proof the lunatic left has no clue how to win wars.

Geraldo will manage to get shot at, I'm sure. And he will piss off the Israeli military somehow, too. Guaranteed.

The bomb dropped on Hiroshima was about 20kilotons. A W88 warhead, which is mounted on Trident sub-launched ICBM's reportedly has a yield of 475kiltons.

Land-based ICBM's have warheads that yeild tens of megatons, and the Russians developed a 100mt bomb.

The evacuation usually lags behind events. I suspect that this will all be over in a few days. The Iranians are now calling for the release of the prisoners and an end to hostilities, which must mean that Hizbullah is getting the stuffing knocked out of them. The Israelis are now indicating a willingness to deal as well.

He wasn't as bad as I expected.

He basically said what the President has been saying, Lebanon needs to take back control of their country.

I guess you've heard, by now, of the Greek ship that is to be escorted by a warship to evacuate Americans?

It's looking real good for you to get out someway.
