#1 Absolutely correct.

#2 During the ups and downs and confusion the last month I sometimes wishfully hoped that Olmert and the Israeli Gubmint had perfected some kind of New Media Jujitsu which was flummoxing the hell out of the MSM and Hizzbullocks leaving the IDF to eventually roll up the Bekaa and kick ass.

Turns out Olmert and his gubmint were on the mat..

#3 No, Amers have NOT lost faith in Israel as an ally, and never will. For me, the IDF is basically saving Lebanon and even Syria from themselves, i.e. by giving them opportunities to show whether they side wid the West or domination by Tehran, with sovereignty and local democracy vs. being PC controlled local peons, or worse, for Radical Iran. Iff Radical islam can threaten Tel Aviv or Jerusalem, THEY CAN THREATEN ANY PART OF ISRAEL. WHERE ARE ISRAEL'S CITIZENS SUPPOSED TO RETREAT OR FALL BACK TO? The only thing Israels' citizens can do is either FIGHT, OR WILFULLY LEAVE/ABANDON THEIR OWN COUNTRY TO THEIR ENEMIES. IF THE WEST FAILS TO STOP RADICAL IRAN, ISRAEL WILL FIND HERSELF A BESIEGED ISLAND OF DEMOCRACY IN A SEA OF IRANIAN-CONTROLLED LANDS/PROXY STATES, PERHAPS THE LONE SURVIVOR OF THE WHOLE OF "ME DEMOCRACY". Remember, USA = West are not just fighting GLOBAL SECULARISM, GLOBAL SOCIALISM, GLOBAL GOVERNMENTISM-POLICRATISM/POLITICISM, andor GLOBAL RADICAL ISLAMISM, we are also fighting GLOBAL ANTI-DEMOCRACY, amongst other thingys. WOT > WAR FOR CONTROL OF THE WORLD, WAR FOR THE WORLD = our ultimate prize is that FREEDOM GETS TO LIVE, NOT DIE. The enemies of freedom = Lefties = Clintonism > are on ALL SIDES, EVERY SIDES, and NO SIDES to achieve their agenda.

#7 A shame he didn't show at your Tea Party last night, TW. Sorry I was so late, but Ebay called (Mrs. BA just learned about it for kid's clothes, lol). Imagine the "small talk" that would've been generated having Joe M. in our midst.

#8 I hope Mrs. BA had fun shopping. It was exactly the wrong time by JosephM's internal clock, commuting as he does from waaaay across the world in Guam. I would have enjoyed talking to him informally -- I gather the man is tied in with all the interesting happenings over there, based on tidbits casually dropped in his posts.

#9 My chances are a lot better. Olmert has a large majority. Moreover, most of his people are not established---if there are new elections, they're history.

#10 She did have fun, TW. In fact, I'm afraid I've created a monster. Takes away from my rantburg time, ya know. Ah well, you live and learn (plus, I can always break out the ol' laptop to surf RB). Tell the trailing daughters we said thanks for the cookies and scones too (as well as a big shout out to you for setting up the tea party and Mr. Wife's allowing you to see to it that it didn't get out of hand). Some RB'ers can be soooooo primitive, ya know (which is why I love RB).

#11 what a mess. We need Israel now. I hope they have new elections.

#12 Amen and Amen, Caroline. Now.
