I believe we have not, caluvdubya. I have been waiting with bated breath for the little troll to rear his ugly head and speak.
Think he might be in the ether, no matter what they said yesterday?
The PA are making it easier for us all. Keep it up!
Yes, they seemed to have been scheduled to fit US day time TV. Don't know if this is the reason, but I wouldn't put it past hezbollah to try and play to the international TV audience.
4 soldiers injured in gunbattles with Hizbullah

An Israel Defense Forces paratrooper was seriously injured after being shot by a sniper Thursday morning in exchanges of fire with Hizbullah members during an operation on the western part of the northern border.
The force was operating on Lebanese territory as part of redefining the new border between Israel and Lebanon, aimed at hitting Hizbullah targets near the border. The soldiers also destroyed three rocket launchers. At a certain stage, Hizbullah opened fire at the forces, hurting one of the soldiers in his jaw. He was evacuated to the Ziv Medical Center in Safed.
Exchanges of fire also erupted Thursday morning between the Israel Defense Forces and Hizbullah members on the northern border, near Avivim in the eastern region.
Three soldiers were injured, sustaining light to moderate wounds, after being hit by an anti-tank missile in an IDF tank on Lebanese territory.
Simultaneously, heavy exchanges of fire are being held in the northern border's western region.
Hizbullah's al-Manar television station enthusiastically reported of the incident in Avivim: "The Zionist enemy's soldiers have tried in vain to advance toward the Lebanese lands in order to achieve a military victory."
"Once again the people of God resisted them, and proved to them that an army without an army can overcome them. The last attempt took place at 6:50 this morning, Thursday, when the fighters resisted them and destroyed a Merkava tank. Fighting continues to this hour," al-Manar reported.
Two of the injured soldiers were evacuated to the Ziv Medical Center. One of them was taken to the surgery room after suffering from shrapnel and wounds to his legs. The other soldier suffered from shrapnel wounds in his lower limbs.
IDF fighters went through long hours of battle in the Avivim area Wednesday. The battles took place during an operation of an elite
IDF unit against terrorists near the community of Avivim north of Safed, a few hundred meters inside the Lebanese territory.
The force was operating in the area in order to strike a Hizbullah bunker in which arms and rockets were being stored. The soldiers waited in the area since the morning hours, before encountering the terror cell in an area in which an IDF post once existed, which looked out over the area.
IDF: Hizbullah built mass bunker network
The soldiers killed during the gunbattles are Staff Sergeant Yonatan Hadassi, 21, from kibbutz Merhavia and Staff Sergeant Yotam Gilboa, 21, from kibbutz Maoz Haim. Nine soldiers were wounded.
A senior IDF Northern Command officer told Ynet that Hizbullah has set up an extensive underground bunker network not far from the Israeli border.
Hizbullah terrorists were hiding out in the fortified underground bunkers some 40 meters (roughly 120 feet) underground, along with mass weapons caches, the officer said.
“Despite the results of the event, we’ll continue with this operation,” the officer stated. “There are missions that the Air Force cannot carry out and they need to be completed by other means.”
While the war in the north enters its ninth day, and the firing of rockets at Israel continues, defense establishment and cabinet officials are debating whether to also launch a large-scale ground offensive.
The grave events of the past two days are apparently being taken into consideration if Israel decided to enter Lebanon again.
Meanwhile, the air and artillery strikes continued. A senior IDF officer told Ynet: "So far we have fired more than 10,000 shells at Lebanon. Using our equipment, we hit ammunition storerooms, launchers and even groups of terrorists."
He added that the artillery equipment enables a more precise hit up to dozens of kilometers inside the Lebanese territory.

Thanks. I'm going with the "no news is good news" theory. I like my dream world :)

Possible, but I don't think they'd keep the captured IDF soldiers so close to the Israeli border..
I think that Kofi dreams a lot about little boys.....
I'm with you Cowgirl. I'm perfectly happy to believe we will never hear from him again!
"Why would a mosque need a bunker?"
I think it's a standard feature of most military installations. Besides, where are the terrorists going to hide when civilized people realize that islam is an invading army?
Thanks. I wish I had more, lol.
He needs to die
I'm glad I didn't hear that interview because I'd feel the exact same way as you do. The blatant anti-Americanism these ingrates are showing (based on the posts I've read) is so disturbing that I wonder how our country can survive such a lack of patriotism and love for country.

I think it's a matter of sorting people out until you find the ones saying what you want. Then you just give them the attention of having a mike thrown in their face, and the monkeys screech on cue.
