I agree the IDF will resond in force, but the question is where. Bombing more empty buildings in Beruit won't do squat. They need to move into Southern Lebanon and take out those rocket installations and create a buffer for the Israeli population centers AND send a strong message to Damascus and Tehran, perferably by way of a 1000 lb. bomb

"Israel Radio correspondent Mickey Gurdis complained in a live report of what
he termed a major security failure that the Arab news station, Aljazeera, is
broadcasting a live television feed of the bombing of Haifa from a camera
located at the top of the Carmel mountain in Haifa.

This enables the Hezbollah rocket teams to adjust their aim."

Headline on Haaretz said that Hezbollah claims it has Raad 2 and Raad 3 missiles. Those would do it.

And who freed Kuwait from the Sunni occupiers?

That's gratitude for you.

Oh, that's nice, Kuwait.

You'd be southern Iraq if it weren't for the U.S.

Bite me.

Since martial law has been declared in northern Israel I don't see the problem.

Bye, bye al-Jezeera. (Or even better use their feed to send false information.)

i wasn't aware those missiles had any guidance capabilities. And now Olmert is saying this will have bad consequences for Lebanon; give me a break - this conflict NEEDS to be taken to the true culprits that are pulling Hizbullah strings in Damascus and Syria. My best bet is that if the IDF moves into Lebanon in force you will see Hafia and Tel Aviv come under fire

Well we probably have dumb f**k's in Berekely doing the same thing tonight. I was dumb too when I was the same age as those Kuwaitis.

I have a feeling that that camera/observation post is about to go bang.

But, if you ARE going to use nukes, hit them where it'll really hurt....MECCA.

FOX had a graphic on earlier in the evening while they were talking about Gaza. It showed Israeli jets bombing Iran - I think someone in the news room jumped the gun - but they're ready when it happens ...

So your mother was Jewish? That means you are too then, since, if I'm not mistaken, the blood line passes through the maternal side.

They might not. I did a quick google and one source seemed to suggest that it was equipped with a self-guidance device and the other seemed to suggest that it was not.
