I for one, am ok, that no one is expressing outrage at the Leb Army taking on the terrorists. Better some (debatable) inconsistency than outright stupidity.

I hear you, but it still makes me say "WTF?".

I told them we should've been testing S-400 in Syria, not in Iran...

Anyone find anything else on this? It seems like there's just no media coverage.

The Israeli media is having a hard time talking about anything else.

now why would anyone look at the Israeli media for info on political events in the ME

Yesterday, I only saw a brief mention of Bush's denial when I looked at Haaretz. I may have missed stuff, or more may have come out.

I think the main thing here is two-fold...

1. It was to reassure the Israeli public after Lebanon that the Israeli airforce is still the dominant lifeform in the region.

2. To 'send a message' to the syrians that their air defences are not strong enough.

"1" is probably the most important.

Korean nuclear plant in Syria. Very likely. On related news, Kim-jong-il converts to shia islam and starts jihading against Japan

I'd like to know what the target was. And the silence surrounding this whole thing certainly is interesting. I mean... it's a pretty clear violation of Syrian sovereignty. That nobody but Syria seems to care is interesting to me.

Shades of the early cold war, which often wasn't that cold, except in public perception.

Wow, you'd think Syria would be all over this, crying in outrage. The whole ME condeming the aggressor Jews! Make an insultin catoor of Mohamman and watch the Muslims stir like hornets. Bomb their factories and mums the word. All parties involved must really be scared of something.

They did cry: 12 september

Hey AH don't u live near the Libyan Embassy with the ridiculous sign out front 'Great Peoples Democratic Arab Jamiyaat Republic of Libya' (or something) in Itaewon?

Their restaurants are sure overpriced for the quality u get, but it must be nice living right next to Namsan.

I live down the hill, right across from Yongsan Base, just next to Chili's Tacos.

Speaking of local affairs I wonder what's going to happen when the base closes...rents up or down??
