Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned the Lebanese government that Israel would strike Lebanon if Hezbollah attempted any provocation against Israel.

Haaretz has learned that Netanyahu conveyed the message to the Lebanese government through a Western diplomat he met in Jerusalem several weeks ago.

Isaac Hurricane Watch Now Includes New Orleans:
7th Anniversary of Katrina - Wednesday, August 29 

 

Christian News

Hurricane warnings have been issued for portions of the northern Gulf Coast as Tropical Storm Isaac continues its west-northwestward march into the Gulf of Mexico.

Isaac poses a potential serious threat to portions of the northern Gulf Coast Tuesday into Wednesday. All interests from Louisiana to Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle should watch the progress of Isaac closely and begin to make preparations. Even areas as far west as extreme southeast Texas should continue to monitor Isaac's progress in case a farther west track materializes.

 

More Isaac Hazards for Florida's Peninsula into Monday 

 

Christian News

Despite pushing away from Florida's peninsula Sunday night, Isaac will continue to pose hazards through Monday. Isaac will spend Monday tracking northwestward through the eastern Gulf of Mexico.

 

Isaac's westward shift may target U.S. offshore oilpatch 

 

Christian News

* Isaac could shutter 85 pct of U.S. offshore oil-Weather Insight

* Storm's westward shift brings greater US energy impacts

* BP shuts down all U.S. GOM operations on storm threat

On August 24th, we warned on Forbes that Tropical Storm Isaac could pose a threat to energy markets and even rival Hurricane Katrina in its destructive power (Could Tropical Storm Isaac Turn Into Another Katrina?). While the computer models are still showing a substantial spread in solutions, it appears more likely that Isaac will make landfall somewhere near the Louisiana, Mississippi Gulf Coast. This track will provide the storm more time to intensify over the very warm water of the Gulf of Mexico.

The entire Gulf Coast from Lake Charles, LA to Panama City, FL should be aware of the latest forecast model guidance. The reason for this large spread is because the computer models are split between whether a trough will capture Isaac or not. As of 8AM Sunday morning, it appears Isaac will not be captured and as a result, a more westward track is most likely.

 

New Orleans Mayor declares state of emergency due to Isaac 

 

Christian News

With Tropical Storm Isaac expected to strengthen, New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu has declared a state of emergency and urged residents to begin preparing their homes as shelters through the storm. Landrieu said the storm is moving along at about 16 miles an hour, and if it stays at that pace, it could reach the city in the next 34 hours, putting it ashore late Tuesday or early Wednesday. Landrieu emphasized that there will be no shelters of last resort, so people need to be prepared to evacuate, should it come to that.

Republican platform committee defends 'two-state' language on Israel's land, formal vote at Republican Convention in Tampa 

Former Senator Jim Talent (R-MO) quoted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to demonstrate that the original platform language was consistent with the Israeli position.

Earlier this year, the Republican National Committee adopted a resolution that some read as repudiating a two-state solution. At the time, an RNC spokesman stressed that the resolution did not represent the party's position and that all that mattered was the party's platform.

 

ISAAC FORCES GOP TO CANCEL FIRST DAY OF CONVENTION 

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Republican officials abruptly announced plans Saturday evening to scrap the first day of their national convention, bowing to a threat posed by Tropical Storm Isaac, churning toward Florida.

"Our first priority is ensuring the safety of delegates, alternates, guests, members of the media attending the Republican National Convention, and citizens of the Tampa Bay area," party chairman Reince Priebus said in an emailed announcement that followed private conversations involving presidential candidate Mitt Romney's campaign, security officials and others.

"The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees. He who fritters away the early morning, its opportunity and freshness, in other pursuits than seeking God will make poor headway seeking Him the rest of the day. If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day." - E. M. Bounds
