An Israeli soldier maneuvers an armored personnel carrier at their position along the Israeli Lebanese border. Israel was amassing thousands more reservists on the Lebanese border to stage ground incursions aimed at destroying Hezbollah positions, warning it would not rule out a full-scale invasion despite mounting calls for a ceasefire.

Alan Colmes really is a twit. "We can't evacuate Americans from Lebanon but we can speed up delivery of missiles to Israel..."

Question for Alan: We got 10 thousand Americans out in a very organized and orderly fashion. The Canadians and the Australians regard our evacuation as "the Cadillac" of evacuations. Do you have any idea what you are talking about or was it simply convenient to take a cheap shot?

I am fast developing a serious distaste and dislike for all things liberal....they prove their ineptitude and total lack of integrity every day.

We're shipping bunker busting bombs. At least one hundred of them plus regular precision guided munitions. I read last night that Israel didn't think they really needed that many of them. I bet that view has changed.

Something has to be done, especially with Russia basically putting herself firmly into the pro-Iran camp today by saying they will not back a resolution against their development of nukes.

It's not only Russia, but China too. There's a serious tie between Islamic extremism and China. China wants to use them as a proxy just like Iran uses Hezbollah.

I may be wrong...I thought I either heard or read bunker busters..I certainly could be wrong.

Whatever they are getting, I hope they can get rid of the tunnels and hidey holes the Hezzies use.

That's what I was thinking... I'm still getting the same response when I try to pull up the site. Just keeps flashing between Loading... and then you can very briefly see jpost.com/ in the title bar, but it just keeps "reloading" and nothing is showing up on the page itself -- just blank. Very strange. I've personally never seen this happen on a website before. I doubt it's pure overload, because I think that would've happened the first day of the conflict if anything...

hey guy, thought you went to another site.
OK OK, now lets get into some semantics. Bunker busters are indeed precision guided as are most bombs that are being used today. We used precision guided bombs to take out tanks, buildings, etc. Anyway, the other poster said we sent 100 bb's so maybe we did. It's late and I should be getting to bed. Not going to, but should.

Liberals are becoming very afraid and very neurotic as their world-view fails to explain to them why things are happening and what to do next.

I think we should look at this as a very hard lesson for them in life on life's terms...I sense that many on the left are going through an identity crisis...especially if their identity is akin to an adolescent who begins to build their own self-identity through disparaging their parents as what they are not. They are learning that everything isn't Bush's fault...and that the President may actually have been right on many accounts.

I won't say we've been outmaneuvered, but your right to see the potential traps and forks. I do believe that we have a few options, but they will require boldness and the willingness to frighten our opponents. In my opinion, no one fears us anymore. At least, not North Korea and Iran. I want to get their attention and boldness will be required here.

I invite the faithful to wait for good news,” Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said last Tuesday. “We shall soon witness the elimination of the Zionist stain of shame.”

Somehow I think this guy is prepared to back up his boisterous comments and it scares the heck out of me when I think about the ramifications of his actions.

Facts we know: his scientists were in NK on July 4th for the rocket show, and it's believed Iran designed that third stage that failed, also an article that there was some sort of communication between the heads of Iran, Syria and Hezbollah on July 8th followed by these kidnappings... so far one might be able to surmise events are being orchestrated in Tehran....

Oh, and there is the mysterious highway that caved in after an underground explosion in Tehran last week. What was that about?
