I wouldn't be surprised if the government topples. Sad day for all non-Shiites there if that happens.

GM all,

What part of GET OUT OF DODGE don't they understand?

Israel has visual proof there were rockets being launched from that site. Should have leveled the town...they got off lucky.

Anyone want to wager we'll hear very little of the dozens of rockets launched from this place?

The media doesn't give a damn. All they want are the dramatic images.

"" I have the Hezb promise to retaliate placed between 0600 and 0630 Sunday (today), and the clock is running.""

The Hezbollahs have no souls and are cowards. They fire rockets into Israel from civilian locations and then object if Israel tries to stop them. Revenge strikes, my blank.

If the long range missiles are fired quickly - this whole deal was a setup from the getgo. The media rarely reports on all the rockets fired into Israel's civilian areas. Israel needs to do what it needs to do, to protect themselves. They will never get the approval of the UN or the world in general. The MSM continues to be on the side of the terrorists.

Prayers for Israel and her people.

Interesting how Israel is supposed to bend over and take it when Hezbollah decides to shoot from an area with women and children.

Israel is supposed to just tolerate things.

But one person disguised as a civilian from Hezbollah is an inernational disaster.

Official IDF Statement on Qana Incident
13:27 Jul 30, '06 / 5 Av 5766

(IsraelNN.com) The following unedited statement to the media was released a short time ago by the IDF Spokesperson’s Office regarding Sunday’s incident in Kafr Qana in Lebanon.

“This morning, July 3, 2006, the IAF attacked missile launch sites in the area of the village of Qana, an area from which hundreds of missiles were launched towards the city of Nahariya and the communities in the western Galilee.

”The IDF will defend the citizens of Israel from attacks by the Hizbullah and the responsibility for any civilian casualties rests with the Hizbullah who have turned the suburbs of Lebanon into a war front by firing missiles from within civilian areas.

”Residents in this region and specifically the residents of Qana were warned several days in advance to leave the village. Eighteen Israeli civilians have been killed and over 400 have been wounded by these rocket attacks which have disrupted the lives of tens of thousands of Israeli citizens.”

Now you're getting it. One set of standards for Isreal and another set for Hezbollah.

This would have been like the world condemning Great Britain for bombing Berlin in 1940 during the height of the blitz.

Jpost says IDF pulled out of Maroun al Ras and Bent Jbail, leaving only a small garrison in place.

I have yet to see any reports indicating which way those forces went when they left.

It is possible we will get a...more accurate count...of the casualties in Qana before long.

Remember the "Jenin massacre"?

That's a decent march, i doubt we'll get a "more accurate count" today, maybe monday or tuesday ;)

Thine is the day,
thine also the night;
thou hast established the luminaries and the sun.
Thou hast fixed all the bounds of the earth;
thou hast made summer and winter.
Remember this, O LORD,
how the enemy scoffs,
and an impious people reviles thy name.
Do not deliver the soul of thy dove to the wild beasts;
do not forget the life of thy poor for ever.
Have regard for thy covenant;
for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
Let not the downtrodden be put to shame;
let the poor and needy praise thy name.
Arise, O God, plead thy cause;
remember how the impious scoff at thee all the day!
Do not forget the clamor of thy foes,
the uproar of thy adversaries which goes up continually!

Psalm 74: 16-23

I said before Condi went over there that she should stay home because this would backfire onto us and sure enough it did.

I still don't understand why the IDF withdrew from the village that they fought so hard to take.

God speed, Israel.
