She is cute, but as a woman, if she looked like Helen but spoke like Julie, I'd like her.
I hadn't remembered that. But I'm glad Claudia remembers.
It was pretty disturbing about those refugees; as long as we make certain they leave! You have a good night, ScaniaBoy.
I heard that. What has that guy been smoking?
A question for anyone in the know.
Regarding the rocket attacks into Israel.
Would a Patriot missile battery not be effective against these things? Do they just come in too low and too fast to knock out?
I concur.
Prayers for the Israelis.
No...the Katushysa(sp)s are to small..
Does Chris Matthews ever do any real research? He and BOR always seem to believe what they are told and are behind the curve on what is really going on because they are too busy to do actual research.
FWIW, I think that for the Patriot system to work you have to be dealing with something longer-ranged, with a trajectory that's more predictable than a Katyusha.
If this has been posted...sorry:
Hizbullah leader, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, spoke for the first Thursday since the beginning of the week, saying Hizbullah's entire infrastructure and leadership hierarchy were still intact and functional.
"I can confirm without exaggerating or using psychological warfare, that we have not been harmed," he said, referring to the strike.
Al-Jazeera, which aired only excerpts of the interview, said it was taped earlier Thursday. The interviewer said the interview took place amid tight security precautions but did not say where.
Nasrallah has been in hiding since Israel's onslaught began July 12, though he gave a speech on Hizbullah television on Sunday.
"Hizbullah has so far stood fast, absorbed the strike and has retaken the initiative and made the surprises that it had promised, and there are more surprises," he said, warning that a Hizbullah defeat would be "a defeat for the entire Islamic nation."
Nasrallah added that, "All of Israel's talk about 50 percent of our infrastructure being damaged is nonsense."
Nasrallah said that, "even if the entire world will demand it," the kidnapped Israeli soldiers would only be released for Lebanese and Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails through negotiations.
He did not offer any information regarding the condition of the soldiers.
Hizbullah operatives arrested in West Bank
Several of those arrested Wednesday in the Mukata in Nablus were found to be linked to Hizbullah, it was released for publication Thursday night.
Members belonging to different terrorist organizations were arrested during a joint IDF and Shin Bet operation.
Suspects included Palestinians responsible for the planning and initiation of terrorist attacks, including those belonging to Hizbullah, who were involved in the murders of Israeli citizens.

I heard a reporter ask the State Department spokesman if he felt the deaths of 300 Lebanese was worth lasting peace.
I didn't hear the response because I was thinking it that was the cost then so be it. Definitely worth it. For lasting peace.
