you couldnt make this stuff up, lol

"Today, 09:50 AM
Federal investigators recently interviewed Rep. Katherine Harris' (R-FL) "former top political strategist about the congresswoman's dealings with a defense contractor at the center of a widening Capitol Hill corruption probe," the Orlando Sentinel reports.

"Political consultant Ed Rollins confirmed Monday that Justice Department lawyers and FBI agents recently questioned him for two hours in Washington. He said the discussion focused on Harris' dealings with Mitchell Wade, a defense contractor who funneled $32,000 in illegal campaign contributions to Harris and also bribed a former California congressman."

While not disclosing the details of his conversation, Rollins said, "I assume more [interviews] will be coming, though. They were very serious."

Let's see - they take 3 soldiers hostage, so they feel they can attack without limits and bomb them until they destroy a good portion of Lebanon - who is the bully here?

When you right-wing guys feel you are losing an argument, you always go on the personal attack.

At least I TOOK the SAT...I doubt you did.

That's the your either for me or agin me Bush moronic pablum they are regurgitating...utter nonsense.

They think you can't criticize Israel - EVER - but I think the world can see what is happening now - and that Israel made a conscious decision to escalate this that had nothing to do with 3 captured soldiers.

If Israel wants to live and survive there - where they chose to live - then they will have to get along with their Arab neighbors. They will have to negotiate with them. A start would be getting out of all Occupied Territories, as UN resolutions say they have to do.

Regarding lack of arab intervention, something I heard the other day is that the arab emirates such as saudi arabia have an interest in seeing israel attack arab counties that have burgeoning democracies.

“Every time we do something, you [Shimon Peres] tell me America will do this and will do that... I want to tell you something very clear: Don’t worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it.”

~ Ariel Sharon, Israeli Prime Minister
(as reported on Kol Yisrael radio)
Israeli Knesset, Tel Aviv
October 3, 2001

"We declare openly that the Arabs have no right to settle on even one centimeter of Eretz Israel... Force is all they do or ever will understand. We shall use the ultimate force until the Palestinians come crawling to us on all fours." Rafael Eitan, Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defense Forces - Gad Becker, Yediot Ahronot 13 April 1983, New York Times 14 April 1983. (see en.wikipedia.org for an idea of Eretz Israel)

btw, don't forget the AIPAC spying scandle is due to come up for trial soon. this venture into Lebanon is perfect timing to knock the scandal right out of the news.
