Taken from the Israeli-Lebanese border, smoke fills the air following air strikes on the Lebanese village of Aita al-Shaab. Thousands of refugees fled the port city of Tyre as Israeli forces stepped up their campaign to drive Hezbollah fighters from southern Lebanon and said they would resume full air raids after a two-day pause.(AFP/Denis Sinyakov)

Douste-Blazy (Frency FM) met with Iranian foreign minister yesterday. France peed their pants and will now do what Iran wants most likely. Any bets they'll say they'll boycott because they want Iran at the negotiating table?

6 God has spoken from his sanctuary:
"In triumph I will parcel out Shechem
and measure off the Valley of Succoth.

7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet,
Judah my scepter.

8 Moab is my washbasin,
upon Edom I toss my sandal;
over Philistia I shout in triumph."

9 Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?

10 Is it not you, O God, you who have rejected us
and no longer go out with our armies?

11 Give us aid against the enemy,
for the help of man is worthless.

12 With God we will gain the victory,
and he will trample down our enemies.

Psalm 60: 6-12

Interesting info:

Gunships also flew at low altitude while combing the road linking Baalbek to the Syrian city of Homs, attacking and setting fire to three service stations.
