U.S. GIVES ISRAEL 10 TO 14 MORE DAYS

NO WORD YET ON HOW LONG ISRAEL GAVE THE U.S. TO DEAL WITH AL QAEDA.

U.S. Gives Israel Timeline for Assault on Hezbollah, Official Says (FoxNews)
NABATIYEH, Lebanon — The United States has given Israeli forces between 10 and 14 days to finish dealing Hezbollah "a strategic blow," a senior Israeli Foreign Ministry official told FOX News, as both Israeli forces and Hezbollah guerrillas continued to volley rockets across the Lebanon-Israel border.

While admitting that the Israeli Defense Forces is working at a "slow pace," the official insisted the plan was constructed out of concern for human life.

"We could do it much faster if we would be willing to inflict high civilian casualties," the official said. "The decision was made to move in a methodical, slow way."

Israeli troops sealed off a Hezbollah stronghold in fierce fighting in south Lebanon and warplanes struck this market city Tuesday, killing six people. Guerrillas fired rockets at northern Israel, killing a girl, as the two-week-old crisis showed no signs of letting up, despite frantic diplomatic efforts.

Journalists covering the conflict were warned Tuesday by Hezbollah in Tyre, Lebanon, not to tape or broadcast live the source of outgoing rocket attacks, for fear of having guerrilla positions discovered by Israeli forces.

I'M SURE THE JOURNALISTS ARE JUST AS CAREFUL TO AVOID BETRAYING ISRAEL'S POSITIONS AND STRATEGY...NOT.
