Dan Halutz, - who, as Chief of Staff, is currently commanding Israel's air, sea and land strikes in Lebanon - rejected Washington's offer, claiming that Israel had its own superb weapons. But with the "bunker-busters", says a senior Tel Aviv intelligence source, Israel could have knocked out most of Hizballah's rocket-launchers and possibly brought the war to an early close...
...underground bunkers, burrowed 6 yards down on rocky hilltops across southern Lebanon - Halutz's vaunted Israeli-made "air fuel" bombs have failed to destroy them.

...profile government officials, and figures at prestigious public sector institutions. Gradually, there has been a drastic decline in moral values in India to the point where no value is attached for originality or creativity. Naturally, every other movie produced in India is an unabashed rehash of a Hollywood chart buster. Complete sequences are lifted with no semblance of any acknowledgment to the original. The government routinely confers national honor on directors, actors, and editors of such “clever” creations of art. Until, hopefully soon, globalization corrects the situation, claims of “literary prodigies?...
