Have you seen this:

Debbie Schlussel: Hezbollah U.S.A.: How a U.S. Attorney, the FBI, ICE & a Congressman Helped a Terror Group

By Debbie Schlussel

America backs Israel in its fight against Hezbollah.

But in the Detroit area--the heart of Islamic America--it's a different story. Hezbollah supporters connected to Iran are feted by top federal officials.

Take Imam Mohammed Ali Elahi, head of the shi'ite Islamic House of Wisdom--one of the largest mosques in North America. He was the spiritual leader of Ayatollah Khomeini's Navy in Iran. Despite that, Elahi--who came here in the 1990s on a visitor visa to speak to a mosque in San Francisco--is now a U.S. citizen. Elahi's ties to Iran are so strong that his former mosque, the Islamic Center of America, fired him--even though that mosque also backs Hezbollah.

One would hope that the state dept. has gotten wiser. But I never give them much credit for wisdom from what I've seen. When my own dau went to Mexico on a missions trip when she was 16, I learned that she would need signed permission from both parents if she went much further south than the border. That would have been a problem for us. So maybe, they have gotten better. But this woman is stupid enough to give her permission. It's sad.

Siniora can't be that stupid.

He is either that stupid or he may have the proverbial gun to his head.

Fox news must have read your post about the Annan/Nasrallah photo. That's coming up right after the break.

IDF: At least six terrorist cells hit on northern border

IDF forces, operating north of Avivim on the Israel-Lebanon border, successfully attacked at least six terrorist cells, comprised of at least ten terrorists.

Sources estimate that there are a number of other cells still engaged in the ongoing exchange of fire with IDF forces. (Hanan Greenberg)

That's an interesting fantasy if that's what Hez is thinking. Perhaps they're running out of fire power.

In no military expert. But why dont they carpet bomb the area where the 40 rockets were launched? 8 IDF soldiers killed?...Dont they have a bird in the sky with really big bombs?

Armchair question needs armchair response. Thanks in advance.

Good! I was going to scramble back through posts to find the article with that photo. Saves me the trouble.

thoughts about the quiet missile day - none to Haifa -
either a) they are being degraded or
b) they are disorganized due to death of their leader and other top guys
c) they are backing off to increase pressure against Israel to get a cease fire

According to the above link there has been another flurry of rocket/missile activity this afternoon in Israel, including a salvo in Hafia, The same kind of thing happened yesterday, not much activity in the AM and then BOOM in the PM
