It is a contrast to the I Lack of intelligence they had about hamas and its attacks near lay year ago. Israel in 2006 invaded lebanon and got stuck and got caught by surprise. I think by the strength of resistance it faced from hezbollah. Since then it has been working to build its Intelligence Collection Capability on hezbollah very methodically and not underestimating its foe in a way it might have underestimated hamas. There has been a long term collection, whether using satellites or human res

Would disagree and would say that this poll is neither free nor fair nor transparent. Vladimir putin does not face a major challenge. There are three other candidates on the ballot paper, but his most vocal critics, his fiercest opponents, are either in exile or in prison, which kind of helps you to win what we expect to be a landslide.

The kremlin just a few days ago described russian democracy as the best democracy in the world. Critics of the kremlin would disagree and would say that this poll is neither free nor fair nor transparent. Vladimir putin does not face a major challenge. There are three other candidates on the ballot paper, but his most

When you see stacks of paper compared to national monuments, and you at home are going to get treated to that in just a few seconds. Thank you, my friend. You bet. Thank you all for joining us this hour. We have breaking news tonight as i just mentioned. If your calender was marked for this coming monday when President Trump was set to hold a Press Conference he was promised would exonerate him from the allegations laid out in that Fulton County indictment, if that was a date reserved on your ical, im sorry to inform you it has been called off. Trump says tonight his legal team is instead putting the overwhelming evidence in formal legal filings. He adds, therefore the News Conference is no longer necessary.
