Israeli combat soldiers walk along the Israeli northern border with Lebanon. US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is pursuing a new round of Middle East diplomacy as the Lebanon conflict moved into its 19th day, with Israel and Hezbollah exchanging firepower and threats in defiance of international moves toward a ceasefire
Yep. Gotta be a hot time in the old town tonight.

Ok..so we have LEBANESE (stressing that theoretically it's not Hizzballah) military shooting at IDF choppers in the Bekaa...then we have major air op in the NORTH of Lebanon.

I don't know.....this goes against everything we heard the other day when it was reported that the Israeli Gov said there would be no more incursions, but called up several more thousand troops.....
"... I wonder who they were married to or who was holding them there. If my kids were there, no way with a rocket launcher near could I stay."
Exactly.
"Civilians" do not voluntarily stay in a target area. It's ridiculous to call these people civilians. They should be called human shields, captive civilians, or something else that more accurately describes their plight.
And then we have:
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, visiting Tehran for talks with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, compared Israel's attacks on Lebanon to the Holocaust.
In their talks, the two anti-U.S. leaders pledged mutual support, Iranian state television reported.
"Israel is perpetrating the same acts against the Lebanese that Hitler perpetrated against the Jews - it is killing children and hundreds of innocent civilians," Chavez said in an interview with the Arabic satellite channel, Al Jazeera, on Saturday.
Chavez' two-day visit came as Iran faces renewed international criticism for its nuclear program and as a backer of Hezbollah, engaged in fighting with Israel since they captured two Israeli soldiers July 12.
The five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council on Friday reached a deal on a resolution that would give Iran until the end of August to suspend uranium enrichment or face the threat of economic and diplomatic sanctions.
Following talks, Chavez pledged that his country would "stay by Iran at any time and under any condition," state television reported.
Ahmedinejad said he saw in Chavez a kindred spirit.
"I feel I have met a brother and trench mate after meeting Chavez," Ahmedinejad was quoted as saying by state-run television. "We think Iran and Venezuela should share all experiences of each other, stay by each other and they have to be supporters of each other."
Right - that and the Lebanese military is officially involved?? Here we go.

US will NOT sign onto a denunciation of Israel for Kana at the UN...
GO BOLTON, GOOOOO!
IMHO it is the string that once pulled can ruin a dress especially if Israel just dropped bombs on the attacking force.

I need to know where Yammouni is in relation to the Bekka Valley....could someone please point me to a
map.
No such town I can find, after considerable efforts.
Second time I've seen this, I believe the reports of non-existant fighting or heliborne assaults to be some sort of code, potentially terrorist related, because it seems to be intended for global distribution.
WOW! Awesome! :)
I believe there are "items" in the Bekka Valley that Syria does not want dug up.
"Where is Yammouni?"
Weren't their rumors that some of Saddam's WMD's were in this area, under the control of Hezdiablos?
Thanks for the info on Reeder...I was typing and didn't catch his name.
Did you hear the speech by Tony Blair??
He said he talk to PM Sinior in Lebanon on the phone...well, on the PHONE, he could have had an Hezbollah rifle at his temple when he talked to Blair.
Why have I never heard of this US UN Ambassador on Fox right now? (handsome guy)
