Hezbollah terrorists fire a missile from the southern Lebanese city of Tyre.

[SE Mom]

As a matter of fact, yes, they do. It was LEAKED last week, and made major headlines by the liberal media.

[mware]

Michael Barone said that this conflict is different from all the rest in the region because we are not stepping in trying to stop the fight. Also said that the leaders of the region are reacting differently than in the past.He thinks it is a good sign.

[JustaCowgirl]

That's probably a true statement. Kerry would have given Israel to the Palestinians

Exactly right. The U.S. would have already surrendered to the terrorists by now and Israel would have been overrun. That's probably what Herman Munster was saying.

What an f'n creep he is.

[Txsleuth]

interesting.


Hopefully the Lebanese people have gotten the message about just what having Hezbollah pay your rent will get you...dead.

[mystery-ak]

Thanks...I love Barone and I hope he's right about this...

[MNJohnnie]

Are you aware of the price Israel paid "taering thur the Bekka" in 1982. It is much easier said then done.

[Txsleuth]

Yes....the Kadima party was formed by Sharon after the Gaza pullout...when Netanyahu and others were VERY angry.

[La Enchiladita]

Yeah, how about that? Get in a jam, call the hated U.S.A.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Yes he does!

[Arizona Carolyn]

Someone needs to tell him he ISN'T POTUS and with any luck he will NEVER be POTUS. I wish the good people left in Massachusetts would jettison that good for nothing.

[La Enchiladita]

That's what I was (slyly) referring to...:)

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Maybe this will be the tool that the people there who hated Hezbollah can use to make a difference....

[Txsleuth]

Dang, I am SHOCKED, Judge Napalitano is on the Israeli's side in the LEGAL sense of how they are fighting this war.

[Paul R.]

Just popping back in for a minute...

'But, John Kerry, today: "If I was POTUS, THIS would NOT have happened." '

Darn, where's that "imperial" music from the old Star Trek episode about the last surviving Greek god (played whenever "Apollo" grew to about 20 ft. tall and puffed his chest out)?

Ok, Sen. Kerry, please document in detail exactly what specific recommendations and warnings you were making about the Israeli / Lebanon / Hezbollah situation prior to, say, 5/1/06.

[Bahbah]

That is a VERY GOOD picture of Bibi.

[jhp]

"Is Kadima the party founded by Sharon?"

Its actually the 2nd party founded by Sharon, the first being Likud (conservative party). Somewhere in his old age he thought it would be a good idea to give up Israeli land for a big fat 0 in exchange, the Likud hardliners wouldn't fall for that so he created this Kadima party

[SE Mom]

Well. Rare as it is- Judge Nappy just made sense. He explained the "law" of war as Israel is now waging...and not once did he say or imply Israel was being "disproportionate"... (my new hated word)

[La Enchiladita]

VERY angry = understatement?

[Knitting A Conundrum]

MSM: Vangard of the Totalitarians for Social Justice and Whatever Makes the US (and Especially George Bush) Look Bad.


(that names is getting longer, and longer, and longer)

[SE Mom]

Ooops...missed that:) duuuhhh...
