Over the past day, IDF infantry, armored and engineering forces operated in southern Lebanon. The forces positioned themselves in the areas of Mis el Jabal, Mahibab Blida, Shihin, Rajmil and Majdal Zun, in the eastern part of southern Lebanon. At the same time, IDF forces established positions in the villages of Al Teibeh, Al Adeisa, Rab A-Tiltin, Aita a-Sha’ab and Maroun A-Ras and Bint Jbeil.

During the night the IDF carried out more than 120 aerial attacks in Lebanon:
6 missile launchers, including launchers used for long-range attacks against Afula and Haifa.

Areas used to launch rocket into Israel, and roads and bridges leading to those areas.

I think we learnrd that the promise was false...
Morning Allegra!
The mosques let out at about 2 p.m., so it would be 5 a.m. in Texas. It's after the mosques let out when the trouble usually begins.
There is a daytime curfew on Baghdad today, so we'll see what happens. We've already heard one explosion today so far.
Wow, that's almost the definition of irony.
It's interesting... while I'm fascinated with figuring things out, and understanding the whys and hows of things, I have an equal fascination with what 'chance' produces.
I'd probably be a control freak, but it's too interesting to watch what 'might' happen that no one thought about.
I don't know if this came from watching my children grow up, but I don't remember trusting the world to be at least amusing, if not wise, before they came along and taught me just about everything I know.
sorry, now I'm rambling, a bit incoherently. Must need sleep.....

Morning, (evening?) hegemony!
So true. Maybe that's why Hillary's so hateful. She's still trying to drum the lies into our brains.

I was wondering about that. Does the curfew have anything to do with this so called Million Man March?
Good morning, Allegra.
Cheers for the good guys (and gals). :-)

I think Truman, although I don't remember him too well, was the last of the old Democratic party. Although Kennedy didn't get much accomplished legislatively, he did stand up to the Russians over Cuba and earned the admiration of people all over the world. I was in England at the time and we couldn't pay for a drink for awhile. The blokes love Pres K and the Yanks. Crap, enough history.
He really did have a long history of having been unfairly attacked complicated with bad breaks.
G'nite 4- I'm about to follow suit...
Prayers for all of our soldiers and those who support them, extra prayers for Israel today.
Morning, Pinz!
Good nite son. CYA tomorrow.
Hello, Allegra!
Some people are thinkers, some people are feelers. Some people I know are obsessed with process whether it be historical, psychological or scientific....and who constantly analyse everything....and talk too much....
I have no way of knowing, but I hope the good guys are all ready for 'em.
Never enough history!
Well, if you take out the power and land lines, you force them to use radios which can be intercepted, or couriers, which can be targeted or captured.
You have to remember they are looking at data on those computers they took from the Balbaak raid....I bet they received a lot of information, memos, list of troops and materials.....who knows what.
