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
They have artillery. Air can be called in, if necessary..
Of course.
I was thinking last night...while watching Obsession, that all of the "leaders" are OLD MEN....
HHHHmmm.. if one is a good Islamofascist, one is supposed to DIE for the cause...and yet, these people are living to be quite old, aren't they.
Why can't the YOUTH put 2 + 2 together..and see that they are being used.
Sure, that guy wants his SON to become a martyr, why not him???
Jennifer Griffin just said that the Israelis are only going at 24 hours at a time.
Now i am really beginning to believe this is a trial cease fire. It's the "at a time" language that bothers me. If Hizbullah's guns are silent for 24 hours so will ours, if HIzbullah's guns are silent for the next 24 hour period so will ours, etc, etc, ad infinitum.
Osama's DRIVER is at Gitmo. This is his BODYGUARD.
ROFL....I am by my self tonight...me and three monitors....
I called the pizza shop and had it delivered...double pepperoni wid extra cheese....heart attack on dough :-)
Have Miller Lite on tap....bathroom 10ft away...Now if I can only stay awake :-)
I know. They said something in the beginning that was confusing.
I made pesto sauce and pasta.
Here's some more fun with Google Earth.
If you go to the IDF website http://www.mfa.gov.il/mfa there's a video labeled "IDF Video: Hizbullah missile fire from within the village of Kafr Qana".
That video shows combat footage of a launcher in a small orchard near Qana.
I believe I have found precisely where that is on Google Earth. what's neat is you can orient the view to precisely reproduce the pilots view of the launcher.
Here are the parameters:
Location: 33°12'25.33"N 35°17'49.08"E
View Heading: -127 deg
Tilt: 64 deg
Get Google Earth at http://earth.google.com
You just need to cut and paste the "Location" string above into the Google Earth search box to find the location. The tilt and heading buttons are right there, but the basic idea is to arrange the view so you are looking roughly southwest.
You can pause the IDF video to get the angles just right.
The video shows the launchers racing back to homes in town. I'm trying to identify the homes shown.
I'll be glad when they put the ceasefire on the PM's site

"Now i am really beginning to believe this is a trial cease fire."
A couple of things to consider:
If Israel really intended for this to be over, why are they trying to move civilians out of the south?
Also, just what was the Lebanese army protecting when they shot at the Israeli helicopters? That area of Lebanon is where the Lebanese government claimed they had no control or presence, whatsoever. I think there is something that we don't know about that operation.
Where are his tailor and hairdresser??
Sorry dinner break floor show...

LOL- they can also skip THIS one...I made pesto with basil from my garden:) Completely awesome.
I'm actually not too concerned about this 24 hour cessation of air strikes...if it were a ceasefire- it would be different.
We'll see.
