I'm sure they don't think that.

It won't go as far as that. There WILL be a political settlement.

IF the Lebanese would accept being strengthened. There are about three
Hisbollah ministers in the government.

Hamas is doing the same in the south; it's very clever political move,
and is why they won the election. But providing social services is NOT a
licence to practise terrorism.

Give him a break. He had soooo much fun with this 'spelling error' and
consequently jumping to all sorts of soooooo funny conclusions. Everybody
deserves a bit of fun, at times. Even Bytestard.

Let's give him a bit more fun. I'll make a spelling error for him. Here
it comes:

Let's have some fin now!

Oh, what funny is that. Never seen such *perfect* humor!
Isn't it just brilliant? Laugh, dear Bytestard, laugh.

To quote one of my earlier posts

"Your better social graces are flattery, fawning and
lick-spittle obedience."

Nice to see you parading them. God only knows what you expect to earn
by fawning on Jim Thompson. He appears to think he has money and
political influence, but the man drinks Yellowtail chardonnay, and
takes the neocons seriously.

Exactly, and this goes a long way towards explaining why the US is in
serious decline and a vermin infested cesspool with more and more of the
economy centered on superficial scams.

Yellowtail Chardonnay is sure a helluva lot better than 2-buck-Chuck.

Sloman can't even afford wine, unless it'd be French swill.
