Just a two-paragraph brief that says Syrian troops are in the area.

1. The adminstration must be so joyus, may they be forced to

to actually admit their complecity on nationalized television, when I do pray I honestly pray for that to occur, I am not kidding that those criminals somehow be made to tell the truth on a live televised event, nothing more need be prayed for, make the heads of every single country tell the truth and see how easy life will become for the common man.

2. JUST THE BEGINNING

I was expecting this and I suspect that a rocket will make it across the border eventually. This will be an attempt to draw Syria into the fray, something the US wants so it will have an excuse to use its force. Right now, all they have is conjecture, but that should change in the near future.

3. Oh have no fear, it is coming and most likely sooner than we think.

4. CNN reporting IDF confirms it hit a Lebanon/Syria border crossing

...on the Lebanese side. Um... how can they just hit ONE SIDE of a border checkpoint???:shrug:

8. How realistic is it that Israel can isolate Lebanon?

The observation was made from the less-than-brilliant CNN anchor people that this was clearly an attempt to seal off another Hezbollah supply route.

The question now becomes: When does Syria enter? Not IF Syria will enter, mind you, but WHEN. Today?

And will Israel take responsibility for the 25,000 Americans now effectively trapped in Lebanon, since the airport's been bombed to hell?

7. Army spokeswoman: "We have not bombed anything in Syria."

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - The Israeli military said on Saturday it had only carried out bombing raids on Lebanese territory and not inside Syria after reports of attacks very close to the Syrian border.

"It's very important to understand that we have only targeted bridges and access points in Lebanon," an army spokeswoman said. "We have not bombed anything in Syria."

Earlier witnesses said Israeli warplanes had bombed a Lebanese-Syrian border crossing point, indicating that air strikes were straying close to Syrian territory.

9. Nobody said Israel bombed Syrian territory

But how close does it have to come? How does Syria interpret this?
