Lebanese officials are noting a lot of Israeli Air Force activity in the Bekaa Valley near the Syrian border. Some wonder if IDF troops will soon be entering the area. Lebanese army and security officials said Tuesday night that a major IDF operation was underway against suspected Hizbullah positions near Baalbeek in eastern Lebanon’s Bekaa […]

The UK Guardian (note: I just noticed this story is in more than the Guardian) is taking the questions regarding staged photos at Qana somewhat seriously – but not really. The article seems to be one of simple feigned shock that anyone would charege the media with staging the photos. Well it is clear this […]

In an earlier post I wondered what was driving Syria and why they don’t just sit back and let things blow over. I postulated Assad was nothing without Iran’s support and that of the Jihadists. M. Simon at Power and Control has some good points along those same lines: The morale in Lebanon? Low. Few […]

The EU has decided Hezbollah is not a terrorist organization, because it doesn’t want to insult them at this moment in time. Yeah, and Hitler was a good Christian.

Why does this man makes sense, and this one, this one, this one and this one all seem misguided and over the top? Probably because all those others are worried about opinions and not results.

I have been talking to staunch Democrats who never side with the Conservatives without a lot of debate and they all see Hezbollah as the criminal in Qana. As I posted on Saturday, right before the incident […]

Democrats cannot surrender on surrender. There is now a ‘united front’ on cutting and running from Iraq. Good thing all those calling for retreat are already here at the rear of the battle, else there would be stampede of panicked liberals. Obviously the Democrats are pandering to their minority anti-war base who have been trying […]

The Jerusalem Post is a great site to watch for headlines. For example they are noting the the UK and Germany have rejected the EU call for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah (which is good news having Germany on the UK’s side). They are also noting that the Palestinians are

Graphic Warning – Pictures of Carnage When are we as a nation going to take the media to task for publishing staged propaganda as if it was news. Check out this AP photo at Yahoo of a picture of a young girl laying ‘in the rubble’ of a mosque. Clearly there is no dirt or […]

Folks on the internet (welcome to the brave new world) and fair and balanced news organizations have been working to understand the Qana quandry. The attacks happened between 12 and 1 AM, and people evacuate. Then some ‘poor’ people take shelter and the building collapses. But as bodies are pulled from the ‘rubble’ pictures show […]
