Milton Berle was intelligent, he just acted stupid.
Ican is the real deal.
Can anyone tell me, in all those 90 and 95 percent offers that were so generously offered to the palestinians, were they given water?
You know, quoting the NY Times or the Washington Post these days is about the same deal as quoting stuff you see on bathroom walls.

A human can live for about three days without water. You sort of have to assume that levantine slammites have all had water continuously since 2000 or they'd have all died after three days.

I see you agree with what the NYT article says since you fail to give any evidence to counter it.
As the truth disagrees with your warped view of the world you are left with no choice but to attack the source.
Quote:So the Israelis warned the southern Shiites that they should flee north, otherwise these ordinary civilians would be considered fair game. So thousands flee north to Beirut and go to schools and other shelters in Shiite districts like Shiyah. So then the Israelis bomb Shiyah. If they were going to be bombed anyway, they may as well have stayed home.
Terror of war interrupts quiet evening in Shiyyah

An Israeli air raid has killed at least 17 Lebanese civilians who were fleeing southern border areas.
I am wondering what earthly good these leaflets dropped by Israel are other than some kind of PR sap. First they drop the leaflets warning citizens to flee to the north, then they bomb them when they leave and then they bomb them in the north after they get there.
Dropping leaflets might give warnings to civilians to go to safer area and/or flush out Hez hiding spots.
I don't think it's PR but I also don't think it's entirely for reducing casualties which it certainly does.
Things have ratched up a bit; the Knesset has authorized, and the IDF has begun, escalation of ground action - while at the same time UN Resolution efforts have collapsed, evidently irretrievably, setting that process back to square one. This thing is far from over ... by a very long shot. Israel has the reigns, and that promises to be the case into the foreseeable future.
You got it. This thing will be over when Hezbollah is thoroughly crushed.

For Hezbollah to be thoroughly crushed is probably everybody's very best hope for peace.
This thing will be over when Crazy Horse sucks my d!ck, G. A. Custer.

Since there doesn't seem to end this peacefully and without innocents being killed: let's hope it works, by goodness!

Forgot to add "concordance" in my above response ...Since there doesn't seem to be concordance how to end this peacefully ...
Regarding Condisleazy, since when does a secretary of state have carte blanche to set foreign policy. If she can't stand the directions from Bush, she should resign.
She may be in big trouble. Bush just gave her high praise, which is usually a precursor to the recipient getting getting dumped.
Blue, when you provide a link, please give your take on it.

Right. Just as Iraq will be a peaceful democracy once the insurgency is thoroughly crushed...
Here is what might happen if Hezbollah wins. Lebanon will be destroyed, among other bad things.
