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
We found it, on the topos, NW of Baalbeck, just south of the switchbacks up the ridgeline, heading west.
our girl Jennifer is clearing things up right now
As if UN resolutions mean a g-damned thing. What a laff!
No reason to panic is quite right. Israel has gamed this out for years. A 48 hour pause just gives them a time to regroup. The Hezbos and their neighbors, are looking for food, water, and electricity in the meantime.
And you know this how???
I do believe that Olmert has been the one that has been questioned these last few weeks...
Bush was on TV TODAY...saying any ceasefire HAD to come with a FIX of the problem..which means NO MORE Hezbollah in Lebanon.

the US officer paying his respects to the graves of Uday and Qusay?
Who was it and where did you see the article? Ugh.
It was in a book, Robin Moore's "The Hunt for Saddam".
The officer drank a whole lot of water, before paying...his respects.
;-)
The UN loves Hezbollah and Hamas and won't condemn them for ransacking their offices. But it will leap to condemn Israel for inadvertant civilian deaths. Wow, talk about accountability or rather, the absence of it. Even by the UN's post-modern rules of moral equivalence and moral relativism, the Hezbollah/Hamas barbarism will be excused because no one expects higher moral standards of Arabs.
(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em Down Hezbullies.)
Now the U.N.? Was this voted on? If so I'm done. Turning off news and puter for a few days.
I mike it and eat while reading...but I had to take Jr. too the doc where he may have a hairline fracture in his right pinkie finger knuckle from hitting the glass lampshade on a ceiling fan because he was mad at his ex girlfriend. But he is sick with a sinus infection, and he did it at the house he shares with his brother and not here, and he bought me lunch. So I did get to eat out one meal.
Today, I had hamburgers breakfast lunch and dinner. Very, very rare for me.
But I got a lot knitted while at the drs. after hours clinic.
aah! He peed on the graves! lol!
What has Bush done??
What about Saddam, Ousay, Kousay...the TAliban??
Name one other POTUS in history that has kicked butt with as many detractors as President Bush has had...except maybe Abraham Lincoln.
Fox reshowing the Gaza protest I missed earlier... geez, all I see is mostly men. Wonder why?

significance of this town?
It's right next to a big ridge to tunnel into for hiding stuff.
I guess it depends on what one sees "the problem" as being. Hezbollah is a problem indeed, but not the only one when one steps back and looks at the big picture. There are a lot of pieces to this puzzle, and the public likely isn't aware of many of them.
EVEN BOLTON?
I remember folowing on the news everyday the American hostages being held in Iran 1979-1980
and watching and following in the news the Marines killed in the barracks in Lebanon. It was all dreadful.
The U.S. Counsel General in Tehran, Richard Morefield
who was one of the hostages over a year was a resident and his family here in San Diego.
When he was released there was a ceremony to welcome him back here in San Diego, I was there to see this.
Ahhhh! That kind of respects!
Thanks.
for those who don't like to click:
The UN Security Council has passed a statement expressing "extreme shock and distress," but not condemnation of Israel's bombing of Kana by the IDF that apparently led to many civilian deaths.
The presidential statement, passed by the 15-member council Sunday evening in an emergency session, amended stronger language in an earlier draft circulated by the UN spokespersons office, to say it "strongly deplores this loss of innocent life and the killing of civilians in the present conflict."
"The Security Council expresses its concern at the threat of escalation of violence with further grave consequences for the humanitarian situation, calls for an end to violence, and underscores the urgency of securing a lasting, permanent and sustainable ceasefire," the final document said.
Other items in dispute by diplomats that included "calling for a cessation of the current violence" were removed from the statement after the last consultations by the council.
The statement also calls for the council to "work without further delay to adopt a resolution for a lasting settlement of the crisis."
