What began as a local escalation is steadily transforming into a broader conflict that the sides will apparently have difficulty stopping. While the headlines are focusing on the Katsav trial, the protests in Syria and the implications of the earthquake in Japan, a small war has been going on for a week now along the Gaza border. Israeli communities near the border are receiving a daily dose of mortars and rockets, and the Israel Air Force has been attacking Gaza.

Oh, now, this can’t be true. Never mind that Hezbollah’s been working for years to establish a presence in the western hemisphere, or that a congressional report from a few years ago claimed that they’ve already tried to use the Mexican border to cross into America. And never mind the report that circulated last summer about a Hezbollah operative being arrested in Tijuana.

My military and Department of Homeland Security contacts are insistent…it’s not if Hezbollah operatives...

RUSH: This is not a crazy document at all. I mean, the Republican Pledge, nothing crazy about it at all, basic, common sense positions. I'd like somebody to ask Mike Castle, "Do you agree with this?"

LAFAYETTE — Republican gubernatorial candidate and California Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner may be down 49 points in the latest poll, but he says he is far from out of the race. At a meeting of the Commonwealth Club on Thursday, Poizner attributed rival Meg Whitman's massive lead to her multimillion-dollar advertising blitz. "People don't know me from Adam, which is frustrating because I am the insurance commissioner," joked Poizner, who has raised $20 million versus Whitman's personal contribution of $40 million and promises to spend as much as $150 million. "... Look, we are just starting. We still have three...

Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has told US President George W. Bush by videolink that the first few days of their countries' joint security plan in Baghdad had been a great success. "He told President Bush that the security plan had seen dazzling success during its first days and that the government will deal with every outlaw in a firm manner whatever group they belong to," according to his office on Friday. Some Sunni Iraqis fear their Shiite prime minister might use the security plan as a cover to advance his own group's interests, but Maliki denies this, and cited...
