Brit's been lurking here or is getting wind of the emails sent in complaint about Shep. Did you hear him say, now let's go to ***my friend Shepard Smith***...and he really emphasized the words "my friend"?.

I wouldn't read to much into that .. Brit always says something like that because Shep's show follows his

With that said .. I'm not watching Shep .. I'm not in the mood for his crap

It's run several times over the last few days. Makes me happy every time I see it.

Ahhh....like a drunk on the street? If they're asking for money for food...just buy them some food (cuz money will always go for booze or drugs)....aid like that? Short of dropping in on their head, I mean. ;o)

Please put me on your ping list for when your blog is up and running. I enjoy your posts very much.

i only mentioned that line b/c Tyre seems to be the source of much of the firing into Hafia and Beit Jbail is one of the main Hizbullah strongholds in south Lebanon. Yea, a month is probably what it would take to secure Tyre east to the Golan given the forces deployed currently. Maybe the IDF goes into low intensity combat mode and takes apart Hizbullah village by village, media gets sick of it, international force takes time to put together.
Ditto your comment about giving land back

Gosh...I don't know...I was surprised to hear Brit say that also.

Hopefully, someone here on FR will have the answer. It would be scary, yet good at the same time, if it were true.

It sure would solidify the need for Israel to obliterate Hezbollah.

Who would provide a peace-keeping force?

The MSM and 'conventional wisdom' folks are coming up with some very stupid analysis here. There is no International Peace Force in the World that could survive or even want to get in between Iran (Hezbollha) and Israel. Any peace force that volunteers (France, UN) does so with the knowledge that they will have to turn a blind eye to Hezbollha or HEzbollha will kill them. Kinda like the morons who want the U.S. to pull out of Iraq, which would then give Iraq to Iran and start a regional Mideast Sunni verse Shiite war. You watch the MSM 'experts' to learn what we should NOT do.

I think it was to support Shep. Complaints against him must be blistering that network. I take Brit's remark in that context; otherwise it seemed...uncalled for. For want of a better word. Wish I could see it as you say, MM. Wish Brit could be objective and see to it that this guy is canned.

I'm not either. I will switch to another channel at seven.

E-mails don't matter. What matters is ratings, and I am going to do my part to bring them down.

Yes! I've seen it a couple of times over the past few days. It gives me chills.

I wonder if other stations are airing this. (I watch Fox for news and that's about it. )

Our thunderstorm has passed and I can get back on the computer to ask if anyone knows more about the Democrats trying to block an Iraqi high ranking official (I don't think it was the PM) from speaking to Congress on Wednesday.

The reason for trying to block him: Because he has condemned Israel.

Much as I support Israel, I'd find it very difficult to believe that Congress hasn't had other guests speak to them directly who didn't support Israel.

you think Israel is going to sit in South Lebanon (and the Bekka i hope) for the next several months? I don't see how this conflict stays local if it plays out over several months. Syria and Iran would be totally discredited if they allowed Israel to stay in South Lebanon for any extended period of time w/o some type of response

I AM reading into it. But of course no matter what I or you see in it, we're united in NOT watching Shep.
