hate to say it bro......
..but Israel just lost its first war ever. Maybe its a technical draw, but come on, we can all admit that they didn't come out of this one looking too great. Meanwhile, Hezbollah looks like the Rocky of the Islamic world. Now in addition to a few thousand cocky Hezbollah fighters at their border, Israel can face the prospect of having 15,000 Lebanese troops (50% Shiite) and a few thousand UN soldiers (100% p**sy). That's who I want my neighbors to be.
By all accounts, the morale of the soldiers was high. They knew they had a tough job ahead of them, but wanted to keep fighting. So did Israeli citizens. Then what the hell was Olmert thinking when he agreed to a cease fire that doesn't even get the two captured Israeli soldiers back? Not only were the deaths of over 100 IDF servicemen in vain, but that entire bombing campaign, whose goal was to ostensibly paralyze Lebanese infrastrucure and trap Hezbollah in the south, was all for nothing too. War is war, but if you're going to agree to a ceasefire like that, why go and mess an entire country up?
I'm pretty pissed off about this, as you can imagine.
Me too brother, me too.....

The Wolf is bald but wise.
What do you guys have some sort of Falcon & the Snowman (last good Sean Penn movie) thing going on here?
You ask a lot of questions Fly.
There's no such thing as a stupid question...just stupid people.
Don't ask don't learn came before Don't ask don't tell.
But I wouldn't expect you guys to know that!!!
Anyway, I'm glad the cold war is over...and I'm glad you guys have a friend. Good for you!
How does he feel about the Paul Lo Duca situation?
(1) What side do you exactly have in Israel versus Hizbollah? It seems Israel, but why? George W. Bush has the other side -- he must keep the Israelis in check so as to placate the Saudi Arabian Royal Family and the Bin Laden family. Are you guys Christian Reconstructionists who believe in and are praying for the "Endtimes" in which Israel causes as a global nuclear war and all Jews must convert to Christianity and accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior or else be sent to hell?
I just don't understand your passion on this issue. You've never seemed particularly philo-Semitic before. Quite the contrary, you've used all the "safe" buzzwords, pretty much following the Robertson and Falwell position on "Hollywood" decadence. Pretty easy to read between the lines there. Our people built Hollywood and Las Vegas and broght mathematics to Wall Street. Makes me proud. I'm happy there's a Jewish state, and I'm happy it is something of a scientific and economic powerhouse.
I had no dog in this fght because Israel was NEVER going to lose. The question was how much an incursion they were going to make and how much more territory could they take? And when was Bush going to stop it.
Not that your support for Israel isn't appreciated. But I don't get the sense that you know too many Jews, American or Israeli. And haven't the faintest idea of what Israelis want. To live, yeah, but to feel savfe doing so.
As High School references seems to figure so promintely in all the "call-and-response" comment, I feel I have to ask you guys: are you of legal drinking age? If not,you'll buy I.T ter, and maybe layers set up a goodf o-pleaseense.
i think loduca would have fit right in with the 86 mets.
Is Paul Lo Duca stupid? If you are him carrying an $18mm,3-year contract, how do you possibly set up an internet sports-betting account and do your horse betting through the private BMs of Brooklyn?
What's in the water there? As we've learned the ridiculous Kazmir for Zambrano trade was pushed forward by none other than John Franco because Kazmir had the audacity to change the music in the sauna from Pink Floyd to that of some new speed metal band. Rick Petersen got blamed. Omar Minaya got blamed. Art Howe got canned -- all over John Franco's (and Al Leiter's) musical taste?
Jesus, was the only mellow person ever to come out of that part of our fair city John Halama?
i don't think he can help it kelso. i think he's a junkie. i'm wondering when we're going to find out he's paying off his gambling bets by striking out or something.
Gotta agree with you there, Rhino. It just doesn't make sense otherwise.
Not sure when Selig is going to initiate the investigation, although it will be after the series to be sure.
My hope in this as a Yankee hater is that the investigation will widen to include Joe Torre's racing partnership with Sandy Goldfarb and Danny Marino (the er-er, not the QB), there may not be two ill-er cats around than those two.
