Summary
Lebanon's Bekaa Valley will play a critical role in the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. Its eastern edge forms the border with Syria, making a spillover of the conflict possible. It is also Syria's economic lifeline, one Damascus would hate to lose. And the valley's easily defensible geography means Israel will face a tough struggle in its efforts to subdue the heartland of both Hezbollah and Lebanon's Shiite population.
Good! Although I'm a news jinkie, there is no question that a news blackout in a time of war, is a good thing. Rather than having the New York Slimes spilling the beans without regard for national security.
Maybe so...but, did you read the report the other day about hos there were some mass executions in the not too distant past??
They were people that were "convicted" of spying for Israel..and supposedly some foreigners (can't remember what country) SAW these executions as they were being evacuated from Beirut to Cyprus.
If THAT is happening NOW...no telling what might have happened in the past...
Kudlow is making me angry.
AMEN, sofa, Amen.
New place for looterman.
"We're not winning the war in Iraq" -- Kudlow. Maybe he needs to visit with Allegra.
AMEN TO THAT
Oh listen, O'Reilly has the WORST research staff. Either that or he is the laziest man around. Sometimes his ignorance is absolutely stunning!
No doubt we'll have another manufactured atrocity tomorrow, if they get enough children's bodies in there. Oh, that is so unbelievably ghoulish to even say it, but these are not humans, they are subhuman.
Should read some time what happened in Great Britian and the USA on June 6th, 1944 after they announced the Invasion of Normandy.
You be careful in Riyadh...I don't know how safe Americans are there...you are hopefully in a "safe" part of town.
Kudlow..this is not the time for this discussion.
Unreal.
mite SMACK him,,,lol,,,
Inside joke....something to do with Peach and an elevator. Have no idea what it was any longer...but Peach is a lady, in the true sense of the word.
"Most talking heads only care about what's news now."
I hear ya. It's either a concern for what's 'HOT' or a concern for popularity/ratings/Pulitzers or other 'awards.'
All given IMHO.
Kudlow isn't addressing the fact that the only thing that matters is what's happening one-two weeks in front of the election. That's when the voters chose.
