Has anyone heard that an Israeli F-16 was shot down/crashed yesterday? Hizbollah site is showing a crash, end of article states that Israelis blamed it on mechanical failure. Al-Queda appears to be taking credit.
December 31 can't get here soon enough, huh?
Imagine the world with Kofi in charge. UGH.
BTW, I am sick of the "evacuess" heading straight for TV cameras to whine and complain about the United States government not coming to personally pick up each and every one of them.
And don't even get me started on Pelosi.
I just went to the vet and while I was waiting, CNN Headline News was on and the evacuees were talking about how horrible it was and how SLOW the U.S. government was in getting them out.
The staff was saying how awful it was that they had to pay to be picked up.
I just calmly walked over to the desk and told them that my cousin is in Copenhagen and while she was riding her bike, she hit a car, smashed her face, and had to be flown back to the States for plastic surgery.
I asked them if they wanted to pay for that, too?
They said, "Of course not, she went on her own," and I'm like "Ah, so did they."
It was like a LIGHT went on over their heads. They "got" it.
And all I could think was THESE PEOPLE VOTE!
BTW, I made sure I told them that Nancy Pelosi voted NOT TO PAY FOR THEIR RETURN TRIP before she was FOR IT.
If you're looking for rational explanations, do not try to understand the terrorist mentality.
Tony Snow presser on FOX
Hey girl, you put a smile on my face. How is your soldier? Have you heard from him?
It crashed on take-off, due to an exploding tyre. Both pilots ejected safely.
Who released the photo? Things like that should not be publicized.
Anyway, it shows that the Israelis, as they always have been, are extremely open when it comes to publishing their losses.
I missed it the first time around. Watching now.

I heard on Hugh Hewitts show last night that Hexb gave CNN a tour of what Israel bombed
It was like a LIGHT went on over their heads. They "got" it.
Sad that it has to be explained to folks before they get it
Thanks!
What title would one give this war?
Ethiopian troops enter Somalia to block militants
MOGADISHU, Somalia Ethiopian troops in armored vehicles rolled into Somali Thursday and set up a camp near the home of the interim president, residents said, less than a day after Islamic militants reached the outskirts of the base of a U.N.-backed, but largely powerless government.
A leader of the Islamic group controlling large parts of southern Somalia demanded that Ethiopian troops withdraw. "We will declare Jihad if the Ethiopian government refuses to withdraw their troops from Somalia. They must withdraw as soon as possible ... We will wait for some time to see if they respect our demands," Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed told The Associated Press. More
This is his post that he got out by the way.
