But are Isreal not somewhat telegraphing what they are going to do?
Maybe that's the plan.

Well my simplistic take is, try and get the civilians/hostages out the way and then flatten it. Anyone moans and the response will be, you were told to get out. :shrug:Quote:

The BBC's approach to impartiality is out of step with today's 'pick a side or get killed by both sides' approach to discourse.Quote:

Good job we’re still not sponsored by the Israeli tourism board.

Have to be extremely careful with this one; elite international tax/customs-investigators are all over it. And unusually governments are insisting on detailed receipts. Cheeky b@stards. Same with the Ukraine.
The world has gone completely mad at last and it's just no fun anymore :(

Yes, pneumonia/pleurisy and a cyst on her lung. Daft bint tried to power through it, then finally went to the doctor and they sent her straight to hospital, was in for 10 days as couldn't get her infection markers to come down. Doctors said if she'd left it a couple of days later, would almost certainly not be here. Almost 5 years ago now. Her lungs were ****ed for ages after.Quote:

At least Corbyn will never do anything again other than hurt Labour, Trump might actually get re-elected :-(
Part of me would love to see Trump elected from prison :-)Quote:

My preference is that Trump is just forced into obscurity. I'd like to see him starved of attention and I'd like to not have to listen to him about anything.Quote:

They're struggling to find new, competent leadership as nobody wants to be next for the high jump.

:-| Ah, yes. The legendary Armani-hideen, the deadly Prada-pathans and the death-dealing Bugatti-bedu. Brave fellows, those; stern, stolid, implacable men. When they're not out whoring and gorging, that is, which is practically NEVER.
Couldn't dream of going to war in the East without them. And our own lot are just as bad.

It's all rather sad. All the romance has gone.
