Read Proportionality earlier today -- I would have been a tad more caustic, but you're the one with the sense of humor, so I defer. You are now first cuppa coffee reading (or maybe it's last glass of wine). High praise indeed!
Regarding Puppet Show -- I've been wondering where the heck Meshaal has been the last week or so. Do you imagine an ego as big as all outdoors is willingly, cheerfully watching the 'charismatic' 'apple-cheeked' Nasrallah (no one would ever apply those terms to Khalid) seize the hearts and firepower of his Palestinians?
I wonder if he's sulking, or could even be grounded and confined to his room until his 'little brother,' Nasrallah deals with the playground bullies.
Meshaal is the one who hides in Syria. I think he knows that an accident with his name written on it is a distinct possibility and is keeping his head down. Either that or he's partying with Iranian diplomats. Enjoy the coffee and thanks.
Hi my friend, I love it! You are absolutely brillant!
Thanks Wild Thing. Not only are you tops at lifting the spirits of our brave military (speaking in my capacity as an American as well as Israeli), but you lift mine too. Thre's probably a 70's style bumper sticker that says "Keep on Bloggin'" but it's an apt message these days.
AbbaGav,
Just to be clear, it isn't just the left that is responsible for this nonsense. http://www.wnd.com/news/

WorldNetDaily is a right wing enterprise if ever there was one. It is really not a question of right and left, but of right and wrong. And Israel is right and its critics are wrong.
Joe
Good point joe. There are wrongs on left and right. I tend to see it and hear it more from the left, but it's obviously not only there. (And not all on the left agree about it).
"General, I am suggesting that you and Admiral Fitzwallace and Secretary Hutchinson
and the rest of the national security team take the next sixty minutes and put
together a U.S. response scenario that doesn'?t make me think we are just docking
somebody'?s damn allowance!"
--Pres. J. Bartlett ("West Wing," episode: "A Proportional Response")

You can find the specific scene by text-searching for "proportional response."
Great find Rick. It's already in its own post.
"A Proportional Response"
Written by Aaron Sorkin, Directed by Marc Buckland
Takes Place: Three days after #2 ends - late August 1999 (Congress is still out on August recess)
Broadcast: October 6, 1999
Does the date of the eposode mean anything to you? The date it was broadcast?
It means something to me and I don't know why it didn't dawn on me until now.
It was written BEFORE September 11th, 2001.
Many of us in America believe it was BECAUSE the Clinton Adminstration (who was in control at that time this fictional story was first broadcast) acted under this principle instead of acting disproportionally!
Aaron Sorkin I blame you and the Adminstration that you so supported back then and continue to support until this day for the deaths of the nearly three thousand Americans who died that day. There was a PATH to 911 and that path was promoted by people like Aaron Sorkin.
