I think the "Loose lips sink ships" may be all too appropriate in this rescue unless these media types stop blabbing every detail they discover.

Free Republic wisely posts that warning in red on the very page we post from to remind us to think before we post. Perhaps editors should post that phrase in their offices.

Mike was showing the ball bearings yesterday, and saying then that only Syria makes that kind of rocket.

If you'll recall, I began by saying "This is not directed to any specific poster or any specific posts..."

Yes, I know, but it was directed to people "in country" and I was curious as to how many posters who fit that description were on this thread at that time.

It just makes me wonder why there are so many "open" mics around President Bush 43

You would almost think it could be some little press flunkie using remote control. I honestly don't remember it happening to Clinton this often.
The one thing it has shown is that the President's character is true to what we have known of him. Gotta love him.

Olmert: Israel with not agree to live in the shadow of the threat of the rockets/missiles directed at it's citizens. There are moments in a life of a people when it has to look at reality and say, this far...no further.

The Knesset has put aside it's differences to stand as one people against this hatred. When missiles rain down on our cities our mission is to wag war. We wish for peace, we aspire to peace, we dream of peace but we reject the effort to disrupt our right to live in peace.

On behalf of the people of Israel I have come hear today to announce to the people and the world, we do not seek war but if necessary will not flinch from it. We deserve our freedom and when it is necessary we know how to fight for it and defend it. The strenght of the state of Israel is based on the IDF, this is our guarantor for living in this country and our best human and financial resources are vested in the IDF and my heartfelt thanks to the IDF, to it's men, to its commanders, to the police forces, to the fire brigades and the other security forces.

Israel has a battle plan. This is it.

Take out the Hezballah first so they clear the northern front. They will then look up on Syria and Iran. They have to tackle this first. Iran is now in the path of war. Israel has a plan.

This sounds more like a full-blown War Warning to the Israeli people, than anything else?

Have you heard what the Palis did to that poor Israeli soldier

Yes. Raised from birth to be hateful animals, it is not surprising.
