Thank you!

[Miss Marple]

I am going to get some work done so I can listen to the speech. Back later.

Ooooh, there's an evil double clown face in that fire.

[ScaniaBoy]

Double negatives are so difficult:

"[D]enying that none of its leaders was injured in the air force raid" means that at least some were injured, but then what can one expect from a professional journalist?

[jeffers]

Nice catch.

Thanks for the ping.

[redgolum]

Interesting news on the ticker. So Israel is asking the Germans for help, and Saudi is mad that Israel is winning.

I sometimes wonder if the media pays these useful idiots to say this stuff on camera. Not that the world isn't full of barking moonbats....but I wouldn't put ANYTHING past our treasonous, treacherous media.

Two words.....selective editing.

I'm sure more than a few people interviewed would be shocked to see how many of their words were taken out of context.

"An al-Manar reported said "Israel is interested in erasing the memories of Zionist terror from there." The station said Israeli drones hovered over the compound before and during the attack. "

Must have been after someone.

Message of Solidarity posted on Hizbollah site, supposedly from Nasrallah

Years ago there was a big billboard in Waco as you're leaving out of town on south I35 - something about welcome all to some Syrian organization. Anyone know if it's still there and what it says?

There's always a stuffed animal or child's shoe but never the charred cripple bodies of the 10 kids supposedly there.

Arabic was the language of choice; even shipboard announcements were done in Arabic and English.

Hezballuh exports....Hannity was talking about this possibility last night on H & C...Foxnews.

LIES LIES LIES from the media

The media is saying that the American public doesn't want this war.

BS - everyone I talk to says "good for Israel."

Diplomacy is our ENEMY in this battle. Let Israel win. All this talk about needing peace...worthless. YOU CAN NOT HAVE PEACE with terrorists.

For ONCE Israel is WINNING. LET THEM FINISH THIS.

Southern Federation of Syrian Lebanese American Clubs?

[mtbopfuyn]

What sort of detention center was it? A jail or what?

[Txsleuth]

I used to go down I35 a LOT...but, haven't been down that way in years...and really don't know anyone who has..

There are a lot of freepers...maybe one of them might know, but I sure don't. Sorry.

[Rte66]

Well, you know what that cartoon dog at the computer says about the Internet.
