Israeli Ground Troops Poised at Lebanon Border

Just watch the News Hour.

 

All we need to know about your motivation.

 

[sigh] One day soon, Dyepack, I hope you get removed from this site like a Democrat at a George W. Bush rally. But until then why don't you try to contribute something original to the thread?

 

Just caught a chunk of a Condi presser from today. She is a sharp, with-it communicator.

 

Something original (but not popular):

I hope the Israelis roll across the border like the wind passing through a designer's ears. They gave up territory with the idea these attacks would halt.

They didn't halt. The choices are sit and wait for more attacks or fight back.

That being said, I hope Rice can arrange for some kind of deal to stop the bullshit. Methinks the Israelis won't be in a giving mood, though.

 

Now that this is happening, Lebanon is looking like it's going to be the next Palestine.

 

With absolutely nothing of any significance to communicate.

 

The worst coverage I've seen so far was from CNN and Nic Robertson (or Robinson??). He hooked up with the Hezbollah P.R. guy in Beirut and followed him around to look at the damage. It was nothing more than a commercial spot for Hezbollah. The guy says every single building hit was inhabited by civilians, but that somehow "luckily none were killed" in the bombing. He's also running around making the coverage look like Blair Witch and saying there are Israeli planes in the air and he's worried about being bombed while they're out. It reminded me of the Iraqi information minister on a roof in Baghdad saying there are no Americans in the country, when in the background you can hear firefights between the Iraqi army and our soldiers. Terrible way for CNN to try to show the other side, all it did was legitimize a group everyone (except for Iran and Syria) agrees is doing no good.

 

chuck,

with respect to your genuinely thoughtful posts on islam:

what country is palestine?

 

I was going to ask that myself.

 

You'll have to get that from Fox News, the Drudge Report (at least the audio), and America's fuzzball, Rush.

The rest of them are secretly calling this Bush's fault, a problem caused by racists, and the like. Which is really grabbing way out there. But carry on.

 

I hope you guys are joking, but if you aren't, then that shows what Israel has done.
