"Some very bad news"
Information is coming in that Hezbollah is firing on Lebanese citizens who are trying to flee their towns after being warned by the IDF to leave the area. They want to go, and Hezbollah is now literally using them as a human shield. Some of them have actually been calling friends and family here stating this!
The fighting that's going on near the border right now is with pockets of resistance who are hiding in villages. I have no words, I'm running out of them now.
So I'll let Tony Blair do the talking, I'm paraphrasing here because there is no clip floating around of this yet: "Of course we all want the violence to stop, and what's happening in Lebanon is tragic. But to stop this violence we must remember how it started. Something in the order of 1600 rockets have been fired into Israel and two soldiers were kidnapped. That needs to stop. And when that stops I promise him I'll be the first saying Israel should stop attacking."
It's going to be painful, both for us and the Lebanese but there is no wiggle room here.
