Two Israeli warplanes and a German navy vessel have clashed off the Lebanese coast, the Defense Ministry in Berlin said on Wednesday without giving further details.

The jets also released infra-red countermeasures to ward off any rocket attack, the paper quoted him as saying.

The Taliban were never our enemy. Now they are. Heckuva job Bushie.
And this pretty much explains why we’re losing in Afghanistan. All our bluster about helping this country rebuild has been exposed as a fraud to the people we’re supposedly trying to help.
