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. But the Hezbullah can't move their rockets out of range of Israel and still keep up the battle.
Damn......... IMHO it is a big mistake.
Jennifer Griffin saying that they are waiting for a call back from Gillerman's spokeperson. May be using the break to allow civilians to get out of S. Lebanon.
One of the generals on Fox earlier today was showing how far back the hezzies had been pushed - could tell from where rockets were landing.
IAF planes over Beruit. My speculation is that if there's a halt to attacks, it wouldn't inhibit defensive CAPs.
Does anyone wonder what hezbollah will be doing during this 48-hour suspension of airstrikes?
It is probably already posted, but CNN is reporting that Israel said military stoppage, not just aerial. But they reserve the right to attack whenever they see an attack coming at them.
CNN Breaking news email:
-- Israel agrees to suspend air operations over southern Lebanon for 48 hours to investigate strike on Qana, a U.S. State Dept. spokesman said.
Let's rewrite this: Israel agrees to suspend airstrikes for 48 hours in the neighborhood under question. Duh, Israel just doesn't strike that particular area!
Why in the world would Israel agree to suspend airstrikes for 48 hours but yet not demand the terrorists stop lobbing missiles into Israel?
Jennifer saying her sources say 24 hr suspension.
Jennifer Griffin now saying the Israelis are saying they agreed only to a 24-hour suspension.
UGH! Now Jennifer Griffin is reporting that she hears its a 24 hours ceasefire for humanitarian aid and people to move.
If Israel is hovering over Beirut...they are NOT going to go home..whether they suspend aerial strikes..
BUT, I still say that they only said aerial strikes..not ground work to move into Lebanon...
24 HOURS...to investigatie Qana...ONLY for the refugees to move farther north...per Jennifer.
Jennifer Griffen now saying only a 24 hour suspension so humanitarian aid and Qunan investigation can take place.
We CANNOT sit back and just be quiet.
I know I have seen email addresses for Israel, The US at the UN, the UN , the White House....etc
We need those email addresses.....I truly believe we need to FREEP these place in FULL SUPPORT OF ISRAEL CONTINUING!
ALONG WITH NEWS ORGANIZATIONS!
We need to let them know that we are NOT falling for the terror propaganda and lies.
We know it is NOT ISRAEL who targets women and children nor are they the ones who HIND behind them.
What will it take?
If the terrorists act like Raging lunatics and riot in the streets- destroying and attacking UN buildings then they get their way?
Is that what we need to do?
REALLY?
Are we supposed to riot and ravage offices to get the attetnion to our voices we need to protect ourselves and Israel from TERRORISTS?
WHO IS PRESSURING THE HEZZIES TO STOP TARGETING CIVILIANS?
JUST BECAUSE THEY SUCK AT IT THEN THEIR BEHAVIOR IS TOLERATED?
JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE FAILED TO KILL HUNDREDS OF CIVILIANS_ THEN THEY CAN JUST CARRY ON?
THIS IS FREAKING NUTS!
IF WE EVER NEEDED TO FREEP ANYTHING IT IS NOW!
