USS Cole off Lebanon is a Declaration of War

A senior Lebanese Shia cleric has said that the new US move to deploy a US warship off the Lebanese coast amounts to a declaration of war. Seyyed Mohammed Hossein Fadlallah said, “The deployment of the USS Cole to the area is no less than a declaration of war and a new attempt to break the resistance and anti-American groups in the region.”
No doubt, Democrats will claim that Bush is sabre rattling, and that if he had just left the USS Cole farther out in the Med, then anti-American Islamic groups wouldn’t be anti-American (ignoring that fact that they already were anti-American). And if there is combat, the blame will be on the presence of a US ship in international waters rather than on those who actually do the killing (anti-American Islamic holy warriors).

Israeli fighters were scrambled on Monday after an Egyptian helicopter penetrated Israeli airspace near the Gaza Strip.
According to the reports, Israel initially feared that the aircraft was hostile and was intending to conduct a terror attack. However, after IAF jets established visual contact with the aircraft, they quickly realized that it was a wayward Egyptian helicopter and escorted it back into Egypt.
The IDF confirmed the incident, and said that it “will do what it must in order to defend Israel and its citizens.”
Defense officials currently believe that the infiltration was accidental.
