Good morning to you, bwteim. Yes, that's great news on the Israeli raid, that all are back safe. I'm sure they did some damage too. Based on the Hezzie whining this morning, sounds like they did.

I'm thinking at the very least the Hezzies have one less command and control center they can use today.

I knew that sending a female SecState over to the area would make the muzzies heads explode.

The muzzies have the psycho-sexual development of 13 year olds and it eats at their guts to have a woman in a powerful position. Possibly a powerful position that can affect them.

According to the Jerusalem Post the first wave of IDF commandos was intercepted and pinned down after they landed near the hospital. Reinforcements were sent in to extract them. From that point the operations was apparently so successful that the IDF had time to go thru the hospital, checking identities before safely extracting all soldiers and their prisoners. Not a single IDF soldier was even wounded.

The Israeli troops put on a "helmut" that looks like a ladies' hair dryer cap. Like an enlarged beret. Like a puffy pancake on their heads. Like a ladies' shower cap greatly enlarged. What the heck is it and what purpose does it serve?

It's a helmet cover that helps to break up their sillhouette. If a Hezzie sees a nice round shape moving around in the dark, he knows exactly where a soldier's head is, and can take a well-aimed shot at him.

The cover will create an irregular-shaped target that will blend in better with the surroundings. And if they're designed correctly, the soldier should also be able to attach pieces of the surrounding foliage to it for better camouflage.

Baalbek commando raid yielded important intelligence (Israel Radio)

Tasty fish. So, how are the Hezbo's reaching Samaria? Bigger rockets that nobody knew they had?

Speaking of not knowing about weapons in Hezbo possession, did anybody see O'Reilly grill Sec Rice last night?

He kept talking over her, interrupting, trying to get her to admit that Mossad and our intel is poor as to weaponry Hezbo has. Typical.

That has to do with continuing to pull down the settlements that are considered to be in Palestinian areas. Some are wanting to use this as a moment to end that part of the government policy. The government has not called it off yet, and has no plants to at this moment.
