#8  no suprise that Israel Insider reported it, you mean. Wish fulfillment on their part, I think.

#7  BTW, there was almost a military coup in Israel according to Israel Insider.

That's a big whopping zero on the old surprise meter.

#6  Olmert's phony shock and awe did not work. BTW, there was almost a military coup in Israel according to Israel Insider.
We all hope this lawyer might have to recall his son who lives in Paris.

#5  I wrote a post full of expletives last night. Fortunately (not for the gist of my post, just for the expletives), my DSL went down.

I hope I don't have to repeat the post tonight.

#4  I saw on Fox that Olmert was not pleased with the wording of the UN resolution forthcoming today so he gave the go ahead for the bigger operation.

#2  On their push to the Litani River watch Israel move to prevent this from happening again.

They will need to do this to secure their flanks. I am sure somebody will remember what the key passes where in the Golan Heights. So I would appreiciate a little help.

#1  We've been here before....believe it when I see it but this is probably Olmert's last chance, and it might not even be that.
