But did you hear the juicy goodness that two were shot and one may be the head of Islamic Jihad? (On TV) Boy that's unbelievable... but would be pleasant. I wonder if, and if so, when this happened. May be a misreport, I couldn't hold it in any longer.

Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani issued the call following the Israeli airstrike that killed at least 56 Lebanese,


mostly women and children, in the village of Qana. It was the deadliest attack in nearly three weeks of
fighting. "Islamic nations will not forgive the entities that hinder a cease-fire," Al-Sistani said, in a clear

reference to the United States. (AP)





Once again, Iran pulling strings.

Can they really believe they can succeed by going all out, regional war?

Maybe three weeks ago, but we are wide awake now, if Iran is planning to move, it will be a martyr mission now.

A 24 hour suspension of airstrikes by ISREAL! I have no clue if the hezzbullies will also suspend.

Hell just froze over!

Kirstin Powers (Dem strategist) just said, "It's crazy for Israel to lay down their arms. We all know what will happen. Israel didn't start this. Israel doesn't target civilians, they even warned those people in Qara to leave the area."....

Pig...out my window.

I read an article that said Yammouni or Yammouneh is Northwest of Baalbeck... not how far though. Also read about that past history of income to Syria and Hez via heroin and weed.

Sigh. Who's going to make the Hezbos cough up their civilians? And what if there are some who don't want to leave? All this will do is give the Hezbos a chance to recoup. I hope there's some sense behind this decision because I surely can't see any at the moment. Maybe something at work behind the scenes that's about to put paid to Hezbollah.

Jennifer - saying the 48 hr (now) is for airstrikes, not for retaliation of attacks on them.

Apparently both.

Haaretz is now saying 24 hours for the civilians to leave, 48 hours for an investigation.
