The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I wonder if the Israelis will try to kill the Lebanese/Hezbollah negotiating team, here in the US? I would not be surprised to learn it was the Lebanese that requested a US location, on the expectation that the Israelis would try to kill them in any location within the radius of the IAF.

Is Islamabad within the radius of the IAF? Would the USAF provide in-flight refueling services, so that the IAF could make it to Islamabad?


This is so far removed from reality that I'd guess you're joking, except that you keep making such outlandish comments about the Israelis.

The negotiation is in Washington because it's mostly a show for Trump. It's at the level of ambassadors because it's not meant to reach any kind of agreement. It's meant as a response to the Iranian demand that Lebanon be part of the cease fire agreement, while Israel wants to continue bombing Lebanon. Nobody in their right mind would expect Israel to assassinate a Lebanese ambassador or to bomb Pakistan.
