Israel isn't actually targeting civilians huh? Wow. Tell that to the family that lost 19 of its members on Sunday. . .

Yes, Audacity in Linux can. But most people here haven't seen the light Niggy. . .

. . .and the lives of the Palestinian and Lebanese civilians are what?

We will be back. That's for sure.

What makes you think they won't attack Syria?

Didn't you read my write up?

The match fixing scheisse is in no way conclusive!

Looks like today's proving me right so far.

Just download and use Jet Audio. It is free and can convert between a variety of formats.

Yes. What can a man do?

Frankly, I don't give a rat's arse whether the next president of Naija is Tera, Edo or Bekwara. I don't give two whether the person is male, female or hemaphrodite. What I want is the best person to lead us, not rule us.

Look at it this way, of the 26 players that played in the World Cup final match, 8 are from Juve.

Chxta's World

The Israel Defense Forces is preparing for a major, sustained assault into southern Lebanon to eliminate the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. The assault will extend at least to the Litani River -- the first natural barrier, roughly 20 miles into Lebanon -- and possibly all the way to areas south of Beirut. The advance might have been intended for July 16, when the reservists of the Israeli Northern Command who were just activated will have had 72 hours to spin up. However, since rockets fired from Lebanon hit Israel's port city of Haifa on July 13, Israel's 7th Armored, Golani and Barak Brigades -- some of the elite and most decorated units of the regular Israeli army -- might push ahead as far as the Litani and let the reservists catch up later.

If the IDF makes this push into Lebanon, the Golani Brigade likely will advance in the east, along the Syrian border to the Bekaa Valley. Its advance probably will be accompanied by air assaults delivering infantry units to the villages at the valley's base. Penetrating the more populated areas further up the valley will involve difficult, urban fighting.

The Barak Brigade, which received the state-of-the-art Merkava Mark 3 tank in 2005, will advance up the coast along a difficult and potentially mined highway. A Merkava tank was already destroyed by a mine July 12 containing a powerful charge that could have been shaped to penetrate heavy armor. If this is the case, it almost certainly came from foreign sources, either Iran or beyond.

The 7th Armored Brigade will advance up the middle, ready to reinforce either the left or right flank. It also could encounter mines. Besides anti-tank mines, Hezbollah is thought to possess anti-tank missiles more advanced than the 1970s-era Soviet AT-3 Sagger anti-tank missile. If Hezbollah's arsenal is sufficiently advanced and properly employed, it could effectively challenge Israeli armor.

The longer the IDF waits to push into Lebanon, and the more brigades it amasses, the more likely the Israelis are planning to drive all the way into areas south of Beirut. A push to the Litani would involve about five brigades; a deeper invasion would involve seven to 12.

There will be, at the very minimum, heavy Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses operations by the Israeli air force (IAF) along the Syrian border. The IAF will at least heavily jam Syrian radar and employ all the electronic countermeasures it has. If Syria does not make a compelling public statement of abstaining from involvement in the conflict, the IAF will likely make a pre-emptive strike against the Syrian air defense network, which Israeli planes successfully penetrated in June, buzzing Syrian President Bashar al Assad's private residence.

Despite the political stunt flyby, Syria's air defense network is still amply equipped and its air force boasts, among other aircraft, 80 MiG-29 and 10 Su-27 fighters. Operationally, Syria has always crumbled when it faced the IDF, and its air defense and pilot training regimens are certainly below par. But nevertheless, Syria's air defense network extends over much of southern Lebanon and poses a very real danger to IAF operations over Lebanon. Israel successfully devastated this air force in 1982 in a pre-emptive strike. If the Israelis decide that Syria might resist their efforts in Lebanon, Israel will not hesitate to take the network out. A devastating pre-emptive strike is preferable to a protracted engagement with the whole air defense network at full alert -- a much more complex endeavor that would detract from operations in Lebanon. As long as the Israelis leave Syrian assets intact, they fight with an exposed right flank.

The near future will almost certainly see small firefights as Israeli special forces reconnaissance units take up more positions inside Lebanon. Of course, the bulk of these units will go undetected. IDF shelling and airstrikes will continue unabated. Depending on Hezbollah's endurance and survivability, their rockets will continue to fly as well.

As its forces gather and reservists kick into high gear, Israel stands on the verge of attempting to completely annihilate Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.

Obviously you started watching Serie A yesterday after Montero had left.

Cannavaro doesn't even make the top 10 most yellow carded talkless of red.

Montero is far and above the number one. Then have u ever heard of Gaetano Scirea or Giuseppe Bergomi?

Let's get back to serious talk. In the light of what is happening in the MidEast where once again Israel is proving that might is right, I'd invade Cameroon and reclaim Bakassi. . .

The timing of this whole scheisse was messed up. By the way, why hasn't EFCC invited Nasir for questioning over the BPE?

The boy is just making noise. He should come out and admit that he wants to join Madrid.

I don't think the match would hold. . .

I know I will get flamed for this. . .

I believe that the government should release the army in full to subdue these insurrectionists once and for all.

I've been a Juve fan for more years than I care to remember. Why should I jump ship now?

On the verdict: the 30 points is just plain mean. Those judges must be on cheap paraga. . .

Dysere:
How would you like to be ruled by the military again?

I want to believe that we've learnt our lessons from those past ugly experiences and won't be so stupid as to let it happen again.

Apology accepted.

As to Yoruba being spoken in Abia. . .

Ibadan Poly boys at the NYSC Orientation Camp there speak Yoruba

Interesting innit?

It would make more sense if he apologises. By the way, as the admin, I'm sure you have access to the IP logs whenever we make our posts. Please can you tell him where I made this post from?

Exactly

Guy, sorry to sound personal,but I take that as an insult. I know the difference between Makurdi and Lafia.

Yeah yeah what next? In this forum someone has told me that I'm not Igbo. In this forum someone has told me that I've never been to Makurdi (was there last week last time I checked).

So what next? I am not male?

Nutter:
But isn't that the whole point though? Igbo lives are being taken all the time and there is no defence from any quarter. Wherefrom then shall we find hope?

No. The 'problem' with me, my dear friend, is that my courage (unlike yours) is neither blind nor injudicious.


Same here, mate. You have a good weekend and stay out of trouble!

I take it that 'U' is your GF. How you managed to get a girl to actually like you is the biggest mystery of all.


Do allow a few minor modifications:

"[Nigeria's] Success is not final, [Biafra's] failure is not fatal: it is the [Igbo] courage to continue that counts."--- Sir Winston Churchill

Exactly my point. We always agree to disagree.

Nigeria's success is not yet final. Nigeria's aparent failure is not yet fatal. It is the Nigerian courage to continue that counts. . .

Nutter:
Would explain better but there are too many bad belle people about!

I'm one of them at the moment!!

Seun help!!!

They are making this thread X-rated!
