80 miles from the Israeli border. That is a long way for the Calvary to come to the rescue.

While we're at it, I'd really like for them to find and rescue those young Israeli soldiers.

I pray that the Hezzie propoganda is not true, and that there aren't IDF commandos trapped in that hospital.

We'll know before too many more hours go by. Meanwhile it's a tense wait. Imagine what it must be like for them. I have to give Olmert and his cabinet huge credit, because it takes backbone to do what they're doing now.

Hezballah to FoxNews: Target of raid at hospital was a Sheikh Yazbeck (unsure of spelling) who was in the hospital. Possibly to trade for Israeli soldiers. No word on success or not. --Jennifer Griffen

" Rahal said Hezbollah was using automatic rifles and rocket-propelled grenades, and that Israeli jets were attacking the surrounding guerrilla force with rockets. "

As I was saying...

Gotta love "dis-proportionate force".

Okay, I'm for that, but YOU tell Condi.

No, Bibi's first duty is to tell Condi that he's taking over. LOL!

anyone see Wolfie interview the Syrian diplomat. When asked if Syria had any intentions of entering the war, the diplomat (for the first time) did not say no, instead he is saying the potential for conflict with the Israelis is increasing

Yeah but that means we have to suffer through him during this years hurricane season.

Wonder how many Fox News ballcaps he will lose this season.

" 80 miles from the Israeli border. That is a long way for the Calvary to come to the rescue. "


How long does it take for a squadron of Israeli fighter-bombers to get to N.E. Lebanon? Can't be too long...

Any military types / experts know?

If the commandos were in trouble, I'd think IAF would be there like hornets. And I don't think I'd want to be in the vicinity.

That's what I've been thinking, well, hoping anyway.

How wonderful!

And you were spot on about how his charisma doesn't come across as well on TV. It's really unfortunate but a hurdle he is most definately facing head on (oh no, not applied directly to the forehead)
