Who waits until their child is 9 months old before having them baptized?

"Who waits until their child is 9 months old before having them baptized? "

Anyone taking their child half-way around the globe to be baptized.

Another terrorist cell was caught earlier this year in Lebanon, which was charged with having links to the fundamentalist group Al-Qaeda.

The group was also charged with planning the assassination of Hizbullah's secretary general, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

A Nasrallah hit squad linked to Al-Qaeda seems absurd at first glance (the enemy of my enemy, etc.), but OTOH,  it could be a group sponsored by the Saudis, whose oil fields, I believe, are number one on Iran's to-do list.

When its night here - its day over there. Right now its morning in Israel and as the late night progresses here it will become dark over there by the time Americans wake up for breakfast.

Listening to Savage is a waste of time now.

Agree. He's gone off the deep edge since Israel began defending herself. Interesting, as before he would have you believe he would personally lay down and die for Zion.

But no, last night he was kissing up with some Imam proclaiming to represent "peaceful" muslims in the U.S. and Mikey was all gaga.

He's a sickening, phony hypocrite, using the sincere convictions of his listeners until they realize what we have realized.

I have feeling that there are many things going on behind the diplomatic scenes that we don't know about.

Most certainly.

Little deadlines keep looming and then pass without consequence.

"Deadlines" are mere rumors planted by Iran and the EU. Israel has the green light from the U.S.

I feel like this "demand" is a coded result of something

Actions speak louder than words.

The Iwo Jima must be getting a bit old, I was on it in 1976!

For those seeking a really good summary of Lebanon's recent history (past 100 years), and how things got into the mess they are, try "Shadow Warriors:Inside the Special Forces," by Tom Clancy with Gen. Carl Stiner (Ret.) and Tony Koltz. This factual book contains and excellent 36 page chapter titled The Lebanon Tragedy. Gen Stiner played a major role there in 1983-4, which included the time of the bombing of the Marine Barracks (241 killed), the French Embassy minutes later (59 killed), and the US Embassy.

Here is a brief quote regarding the Iran/Syria fingerprint. "Soon the Hezbollah connection began to come clear. According to Lebanese intelligence, the suicide drivers had been blessed by Sheikh Fadlallah, the spiritual leader of Hezbollah, before they launched their suicide missions. And a Couple of days later, we learned that messages had been intercepted from the Iranian Foreign Ministry to Mohammed Mohtashamipur, the Iranian ambassador in Damascus (Syria), urging a major attack against the Americans. We also learned that Hosein Sheikholislam, the chief Iranian terrorist, had checked into the Sheraton Hotel in Damascus. He checked out on October 22, the day before the bombing. And Lebanese intelligence officials reported that the Iranian embassy in Damascus had been evacuated early on Sunday morning, just before the bombing."

Later the CIA chief was kidnapped, presumable tortured, and killed, and his in-country network identified and murdered. We probably lack good intelligence assets on the ground, and given the mess there, I hope we keep our troops out of their mess.
