I dunno goon, Obama said he was willing to invade Pakistan. He seems to take a somewhat “bi” approach in that regard as he appears willing to swing from either side of the “plate”. Although the closer he appears to getting the party nomination, the more ghey his rhetoric becomes.

I don’t know guys. If it’s Barry Glibbs doing the sending,
in this situation, he might send ole Jimmah. ‘Course Jimmah would have to brush up on his communication skills. That and maybe get rid of the translator sportin’ the balaklava and the AK-47. Jimmah could get the message across.......across somewhere......sometime......some message....some message that might make sense.

A good summary of events can be found here. It certainly could get very ugly very quickly.

Just what we need, spart, a loose cannon for our president.

Maybe hezbollah is feeling left out and is trying to angle their way for a photoshoot with Jimmy Carter.

This is why we absolutely must stay in Iraq. And why the Iranian Mullahs will do almost anything to force the US to withdraw.
Dick Morris was on O’Reilly’s show this evening, and after commenting on Obama’s apparent win over Hillary, and O’Reilly’s excellent interview with Mrs. Clinton last week, he was asked to offer some questions for O’Reilly’s interview tomorrow with John McCain.
Morris suggested that McCain should be asked how McCain would react to a preemptive strike by Israel (presumably under the premiership of Bibi Netanyahu) against Iran this fall before the US election.
The loss of Lebanon to Hezbollah, Syria, and ultimately Iran, would put Israel in grave danger, and put enormous pressure on Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf states as well.
If you are discomforted by $123 per barrel for crude and $3.65 for a gallon of gas, imagine what $200 oil and $6.50 gas will feel like!

bat one, thanks for reminding me. I will have to tune in and watch that interview, (I will be done with finals then!!!). And your last point is all the more reason to increase our drilling and refining capacity in the U.S.

Bat,
I think we will see $200 a barrel oil by this time next year regardless of who is president. None of these candidates have a firm economic plan. Toss in Iran’s desire to create havoc and the stability of oil futures is dim.

Dougee,
Good luck with your finals! O’Reilly does not have the same sort of self-deprecating savoir faire that Rush enjoys, so his self-promotion tends to be less smooth and at ease and more grating and discomforting. But as the Hillary interview shows, he can be very good when focused on someone else. The McCain interview should be very interesting (witness Dick Morris’ suggested question), and I’d like to see if Obama has the stones to submit himself to and O’Reilly interview… without the teleprompter. He’s a fool if he doesn’t.
