The loss of Iranian oil exports would damage Iran far more than the US. Certainly higher oil prices would hurt the US and global economy. But our economy and government would hardly collapse. The Mullocracy quite possibly would.

"I love two-year olds, but I may be ready for a nap. :)

I am of the stripe that all children should be institutionalized at birth, taught to read, write and do math, taught respect and released at age 18 after taking a final exam and then ONLY if they have a job and can make a contribution to society. If they fail their final exam in any of the above areas they should be forced to retake the entire 18 year course again and again until they get it right.

notify the sponsors that they will lose out unless FOX shape up, and ship Shep home.

OK - will start watching for sponsors and do just that. I thought letting FOX know how much CNN I was watching now after years of only FOX would at least make them hiccup. Could Shep have a cult following of sorts? I can't imagine that FOX will let this continue.

If Iran were inhabited by Americans, you'd be right.

But it isn't.

has that firing of that Zedzel been confirmed today, is there a link to a story. I thought i heard that but didn't see it confirmed. And i'm not sure if you are being sarcastic with your "Whooo" but that puppy has a 1200 lb. + warhead with some guidance capability. You don't want that thing landing in a residential building in TelAviv b/c you will have scores of casualties

I will take that as a sem-humorous statement. I spent half my life trying to undo the damage institutions did on my children and will spend the next half trying to keep them from causing damage to my grandchildren.

You're right . I went back and re-read my post. What I meant to say is that I am basing my opinion on what others have said. I characterized it as "I think". I don't know for sure exactly what she was promoting. However, you can't deny that there are some in our Government that are always referring to Islam as a religion of peace.

By the way, if you've been following this thread I am not the only who feels that way.

I was just there. Friggin' unbelievable.

Negotiating with terrorists is like trying to negotiate with roaches or termites. But the Loony Left is like The Orkin Man in a Bizarro World telling you how to deal with a termite problem threatening the foundation of your house: Don't kill them. Learn to live with them. Give up one of the rooms of the house, if necessary. Or, as in Israel's case, if one room is not enough, give up yet another room.

Hehe. I wouldn't really do that. It's bad enough that I'm stuck with CNN here. (No FOX). This thread is my best source of the Israeli side of the situation.

The long range telAviv rockets are next...I hate to say it but I think thats their game...remember, they are logical but not what we would call rational.

i know you didn't and a little levity is good when dealing with these types of situations every once and a while. Have you seen this on the wires -

Peretz to expand 'special situation' area




Defense Minister Amir Peretz will ask the government to expand southward the area in the north affected by the military operation in Lebanon.


Peretz wants Tiberias and Tabour to be included in the area affected by the fighting. (Ronny Sofer)

Wonder what intel he has to extend this area southward, more rocket attacks i suppose as the IDF pushes further north and Hizbullah becomes more desparate
