I know this is has already been reported in breaking, but note the European "human sheilds" in Ramallah, which IS new news to me :)

“We are going to stay here in Ramallah, in particular, to provide the Palestinians with protection,” said French farmers union leader Jose Bove, who is best known for vandalizing a McDonald’s in France.

Now *that's* an accomplishment -- for a useless French leftist wienie!

Come on folks. Those of you with cable, keep us posted. Should be an interesting couple of hours.

Human shields? No problem. Paybacks are hell.

I hope the tanks have pictures of Cartman on the hood with a giant text balloon in Arabic saying "Respect my authorita!!!!!!!!"

Opinion-fest on O'Reilly Factor now..not many facts though

[Lucas1]

I cant even find this story being covered on the television set - heh

[elwoodp]

Thanks, really appreciate that.

Reuters via Drudge reporting heavy gunfire in the area of Arafart's HQ. It may be time for Arafart to pay the piper.

Gawd...I even resorted to checking the Communist News Network...nothing there right now.

Israel mobilizing army reserves to deal with Palestinian attacks...

It is also reported that the Israeli leadership is currently in session. They are staying up and are ready for a marathon session. Sounds like they're not playing around.

[garbanzo]

Sharon must understand that if he decides to bombard Ramallah, he is going to bombard hundreds of foreigners

Cool! We can get rid of Communist european twits and Palestinian terrorists all at the same time.

[Dallas]

I would suggest the Israelis take out every bit of communication in the West Bank...

Destroy all Palestinian TV stations, radio, phones, military, and cellular capabilities.

Then wreak complete havoc.....

Israeli spokepeople (Netanyahu) emphasizing Arafat has not honored anyt of the ELEVEN cease fires offerd by Israel.

They sound serious.

The Big 3 are showing reruns, with an occasional "breaking" banner on MSNBC reminding us that PM Sharon will speak live to reporters shortly, after his cabinet meeting breaks up, so we can expect new news at some point. Here on the east coast I'll be up for a while (can't help myself) so will post asap if and when anything happens.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Right on.

Gee, does this mean that the playing around is over?

[FreeperinRATcage]

FNC reports 30 Iraeli tanks surrounding Arafat's compound, nothing more.

INFORMATION! I WANT INFORMATION!

FoxNews (TV) showing stock footage, reporting that Arafat's HQ is under seige and is the scene of heavy fighting.
