I think his base his pressuring him, from what I heard recently it's been said that his base is not happy with his relationship with our President.

Modern Technology and new media. Incredible, that here we are from all over the country, all over the world, with instant communication and instant prayers watching God's Holy Land and waiting. All I can say is just WOW. Can you imagine a previous WW if we had had instant group communication coast to coast and over seas?

envelopment if who strikes south and west, Syria? Hmmm ...

I'm not so sure about no setting up house, there was an awful lot of armor up around Metula, they could make the trip in short order if they skirted populated/Hizbullah fortified areas. The IAF could provide the cover necessary until the steel arived. Who knows what the Israelis have got planned, they've befuddled me this whole conflict.

Air Cav....they are going to town on the rear guard....totally unexpected.

We shouldn't be surprised, like my dad says, "there is nothing like a free man fighting." Someone mentioned how good the book on what Israel is doing right now would be, I agree. I think there is a lot going on, we are just seening bits and pieces through the smokescreen.

JPost:

NOTE THAT THE STORY IS NOT QUITE THE SAME - NOT YET ANY LANDINGS BUT VERY HEAVY AIR ACTIVITY:

MAJOR IDF OP UNDERWAY IN BEKAA VALLEY
By JPOST.COM STAFF

Lebanese army and security officials said Tuesday night that a major IDF operation was underway against suspected Hizbullah positions near Baalbeek in eastern Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, with one officer saying the IAF presence in the air above the ancient city was "unprecedented."

The operation began with at least five rapid air strikes.

"The extreme, unprecedented number of aircraft indicates the possibility that the Israelis are planning to land troops, but we cannot yet confirm that," said one security official.

Flares held aloft by parachutes lighted the night sky to a daytime brilliance, the official said.

Hizbullah's al-Manar television said IAF helicopters were taking heavy guerrilla fire but had not landed any commandos.

Israeli helicopters also attacked a target 15 kilometers west of Baalbek, starting a huge fire, witnesses said.

Earlier Tuesday, the IAF struck three Hizbullah bunkers in the western zone of southern Lebanon.

Warplanes also hit Hizbullah fighters battling with soldiers near the border as the guerrillas fired mortars into Israel.

The MOMENT that the Syrian Armour start to move anywhere close to the border, the sky's will be full
of Israeli jets and Helicopters....





Agreed, while noting that IAF has been napping, watching Oprah, and eating bon-bon's for a couple days now.
