Tom DeLay is coming up next on Cavuto.
Benjamin Netanyahu was just on CNN...and he pointed out to Wolfie...that IF Israel wanted to kill Lebanese civilians, they would have done it by now...
He said that they have enough "fire power" to "level Lebanon" in one day...but, they have chosen not to...because they do feel that a Hezbollah-free Lebanon could be a good neighbor.
Of course the same could be said for the USA in Iraq...if we wanted to...we could get rid of the insurgents and other terrorists in Iraq...but, we would be destroying the cities, especially Baghdad...and killing thousands of Iraqi citizens.
Repoted on CNN (just surfin'). 12,600 Americans evacuated from Lebanon. Concern still for Americans in far south Lebanon. What's a country to do?
MEMRI is reporting Hezbollah gave Lebanese leaders advance warning they were going to abduct Israeli soldiers to free Hezbollah prisoners. (warning: MEMRI link currently overwhelmed)

From Debka news ticker:
IDF chief: Hizballahs rockets can reach Greater Tel Aviv. We dont know when they will be fired.
WELL! Doesn't THAT change a few things......
I want a strongly worded memo from the UN on this......
5...........4.....................3................2............
DeLay looks good.
I have plenty of orange (and green) Canes stuff, which I will start wearing now, although football season is still a month away.
:=)))
Sounds good too! "You have to go after the terrorists, either put them in a cell or a cemetary!"
"Lebanon's parliament speaker rejects proposals, inisisting cease-fire must preceed any talks"
Fox reporting that Labanon is rejecting Rice's proposals...like they are in the driver's seat.
The fact that Egeland is heading for Israel and is going to meet the Israelis on war footing has certainly helped concentrate his mind.
Compared to a Scandinavian politician even Peres is a roaring lion.
You put terrorists either in a cell or cemetery...DeLay. lol
Hmm. Debka...makes it suspect to me. I will keep an eye out for a second source on that one. It would be a big thing if it is confirmed.
