JERUSALEM (Reuters) - A missile fired at an Israeli naval vessel off Lebanon early on Saturday missed the target and hit an Egyptian boat instead, the Israeli army said.

"There has been another attempt to attack an Israeli naval vessel. It missed our ship and instead hit a different ship, an Egyptian vessel," an Israeli army spokeswoman said.

John Warner, the man stupid enough to divorce a Mellon billionaire heiress, the man stupid enough to marry Liz Taylor, wants to tell the President what to do????
Warner votes for gun control every chance he gets. Voted to include gays on the hate crime law. Campaigned for an Independent and against Ollie North. Supports abortion rights. Why is he a Republican? Nothing like a fool being an old fool. Just look at Murtha.

It just depends on funding levels. I could make one for well under $100k.

Columbian druglords had their own submarine... why is a UAV so unbelievable with a long esablished insurgent force?

Anything is possible these days...

You can bomb 'em back to the Stone Age. Underneath their modern veneer, the Islamofascists are barbarian savages. That's the reality.

I dont like to say it, but I think in the midst of all this shiz hitting the fan, these soldiers safe return seems... a bit optimistic.

Jews believe in the End Times?

Pretty sure. Least wise much of Revelation is derived from OT books.

The versions between the two Judeo-Christian religions, and the møøslimb cult aren't the same but they draw on a common heritage.

Any actual Jews wish to comment?

They just said on a Fox News Alert that it was a civilian Egyptian ship, I believe.
