I picked up this bit today in a transcript from this Sunday's "Reliable Sources" on CNN: Read More

The IDF now says "there were no rocket launches from Qana on the day of the strike," according to an article in Ha'aretz today.

I've been watching Wolf Blitzer on and off all week and while I always knew he was pro-Israeli, I actually got sick to my stomach watching him this Sunday morning.

The Washington Post is running a story today that says the current Mid-East Crisis is part of a broad US/Israeli Strategy.

Israel, with U.S. support, intends to resist calls for a cease-fire and continue a longer-term strategy of punishing Hezbollah, which is likely to include several weeks of precision bombing in Lebanon, according to senior Israeli and U.S. officials.
