One question.

How could a non Security Council member throw off a current SC member? I don't know UN parliamentary procedure that well, but what I am asking is if this is something that can be done.

"...It should be noted that a source in the Syrian Air Force denied a few days ago that the Syrian antibiotics [antiaircraft?] has dropped [downed?] yesterday Israeli spy plane entered the atmosphere of the country. The source said "the Russian news agency" that Israeli planes had attacked positions of the Syrian air defense forces..."

there is more and more chatter from a lot of different sources of some limited exchange of fire by Syrian and Israeli sources, one big incident might just bring down the whole house

re: This means that the Iranian government is opposed to allowing untrained personnel into Lebanon. I guess that many in Tehran would appreciate to get rid of these "martyrs" instead of having them on the street in Tehran.

So they have to go to Actor's studio first?
All of a sudden they have high standards... next they'll want an engineering or chem degree as well. /s

The Israel-drone across the Syrian border story is fairly old...at least 10 hours...also recall the claim that Hezbollah has attacked another Israeli ship...not sure what's going on here.

wasn't it Sharon's visit here that sparked the last go round with the Palestinians?

Yes it was. Can't stress this enough, but this will really stir things up even more.

09:48 Israeli air strikes at dawn on international highway near al-Masnaa; Syrian army fires anti-aircraft missiles against Israeli surveillance plane that entered Syrian airspace

Ah nuts. There goes the neighborhood. But as long as it was on Syria's side of the border, not much will happen. This might be just a provocation.

Possibly a fake story...a report like this was attribute to a Russian source in an Arabic forum....

Sounds like it was a very crude bomb. Something made in a hurry with out a lot of planing.

Dear Lord, protect us.

Syria planned this as well... they've also had plenty of visits back and forth. They have WMD.

You're right...
