Ollie - all the 'victims' are women and children. Where are the men? They are the hezzies - fighting.

Israel has agreed to a 48 hour ceasefire?

Big mistake, imo. It will just give the jihadists time to re-arm and move deeper into Lebanon among even more civilians.

All I can say is after Israel concedes to this 24(48?)hr. ceasefire, if there ARE any shennanigans, they will then have the right to blow the brains out of Lebanon, AND Syria.

I continue to pray for Israel and those living there!!

I was just thinking...about the 7 hour delay...I hope a satellite imagine or something comes out - I bet these Hezbullies removed the men and left the women and children for the cameras...or even brought the building down themselves and planted the bodies there

Jennifer is making a distinction of ceasefire and suspension. This is a suspension, NOT a ceasefire because Israel will still go in on the ground if needed.

Ollie North said that this will give a chance for the Hezbollah leadership to leave the area...and that that would be terrible for Israel and the USA...

THIS just is not good....Israel needs to have flights over Lebanon for the 48 (24?) hours..monitoring the traffic in and out of the roads to Syria.

Thanks!

Does Israel believe they can improve their PR by giving the press 48 hours to rehash their "atrocity"?

Does Pres Bush think 48 hours of press to blame him will help his PR?

Hezbollah will have 48 hours of great PR, and more arms.

Lord have mercy, what can these guys be thinking?

Israel says they will attack if they are threatened. They are watching everything closely. If they see a threatening target they will hit it. It is not a unilateral unconditional ceasefire.

Nobody said "controlled", anymore than they said "controlled" when Turkey was threatening Iraqi Kurds a week back.

Controlled, no.

Influenced?

Make your own call, I made mine.
