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
If it stops now, the Hezbies in southern Lebanon are all wound up with no place to go.
Who will they revenge on?
Yes...it is sick...but, THIS TIME, it would play right into Israel..and the USA's hands.
And he is Jewish.
Yes. Soon. In fact NOW would be fine.
Oh- and THUD:)
Food - water - electricity - sanitation (working toilets)
Comm would also go down, if they cannot recharge satellite phones. I believe it is the Hezzies who are in check here.
" I think we're going to see signs of harsh words between Bush and Condi. "
The media is making it seem as Sec of State Rice had a quasi breakdown upon learning of the Qana news.
" Clearly shaken " is how Andrea Mitchell put it.
I recall another outlet describing her as " quivering with rage."
Either Dr. Rice is not up to the job ( which I hope not ) or the media is trying to make her seem weak and wimpy-fearful of a challenge to Hillary .
Theoretically, yes.
If it stops now, the Hezbies in southern Lebanon are all wound up with no place to go.
Who will they revenge on?
Hey, I said IF they were smart. I'm not counting on it. But if I were Nasarallah i'd have everyone stand down melt into the southern lebanon back ground and play this game another day. There will be plenty of time for revenge later, this has been going on since 48' after all.
Poor Marc Ginsberg....he keeps trying to teach people about this stuff...but runs into idiots like Alan Colmes and Sheppy Smith.
LOL! Ginsberg smacking Alan
Don't worry about the hitting things hopefully wall. It seems to me guys in that age range hit walls especially over girls. I have two dents in walls-this too shall pass. Promise.
DITTO...THUD
Do we know if trucks can still get into south Lebanon? CAN they rearm?
I ask because my first thought at hearing about the "lull" was that the IDF will be watching (filming?) every move the Hezzies make. Of course, I have this tendency to believe satellites and drones can work miracles...cover an entire area with full time video monitoring. (I.e., I thought satellite images would solve the D.C. sniper case).
Maybe I'm naive, but why can't modern armies monitor ALL movement within a space as small as south Lebanon?
