What About That UN Station in Lebanon?

A considerable hullabaloo is ongoing over the attack by Israel on a UN station located in the war zone in Lebanon. It’s entirely possible that this was an accident under the fog of war, but perhaps not many people understand the anti-Israel, anti-Semitic stance of UN employed personnel now and over the years. What else would explain Kofi Annan’s immediate statement, without investigation, that this was a deliberate act? Many people also do not understand that UN personnel are actively attempting right now to undermine the Israeli defense initiative into Hezbollah-controlled areas of Lebanon.

I don't believe Israel intentionally bombed the UN compound

What I would like to know is why the UN had those people there

Why didn't the UN pull them out of that area earlier?

What About That UN Station in Lebanon?

Holding hands with the Hezzies.

Communications............. boom!

[beyond the sea]

I think they bombed it on purpose.

[tcrlaf]

Sadly, so do I, and it probably had to do with the HEZ guy standing next to it with the Binocs and the Radio.....

It really does expose who useless the "Interim Force" has been, doesn't it?

Earlier today some Freepers were thinking:

Kofi, whose son was a straw man for Kofi in the oil for food scandal was likely into the arms trade with Syria. IDF intel may have picked up the fact that Hezzie Arms were being stored or transported by that UN detachment! Why else would the IDF bomb it? Kofi is making way too much noise on this . Is it his way to smoke screen what that UN outpost was actually up to? Maybe it was a mistake, friendly fire BUT we are talking artillery followed by air, ain't no way for TWO mistakes.

****

Will it be discovered that the UN HQ was being used as a communications center for Hezbollah? Something stinks in Denmark and it ain't fish.

****

Perhaps Kofi is to blame for not pulling out the UN troops and leaving them to stand around with no purpose in a hot war zone. What possible reason could there be for doing this? Well, the obvious one -- perhaps to assist Hezbollah in keeping track of Israeli ground movements. Pure speculation on my part but what other reason would there be?

[Mo1]

I disagree .. Israel has gone out of her way to only hit the terrorists ..

"I disagree .. Israel has gone out of her way to only hit the terrorists .."

Yeah, if they had a good reason for taking out they would have done in a way that someone else could get blamed.(That old plausible deniability thing)

They were warned repeatedly about the location and had promised the UN nothing would happen

[Mo1]

IMO .. the UN should have pulled their people out of that area ...

Again .. Why didn't Kofi move his people out of that area?

"IMO .. the UN should have pulled their people out of that area ..."

Agreed, anyone in a war zone who's not in the fight should flight.

Just makes sense.

[PghBaldy]

It makes no sense, unless Kofi was using them as human shields, HOPING Israel would bomb them accidentally.

"Up next on KBOM, more on the Israeli incur-" BOOM! KBOM...Lebanon, Where We Play the Hits...

[Mo1]

I would not rule it out

From what I've read .. those men shouldn't haven't been left in that area

[Mo1]

Agreed, anyone in a war zone who's not in the fight should flight.

the UN personal are not in this war and should not have been in that area

[beyond the sea]

lol

[beyond the sea]

I disagree .. Israel has gone out of her way to only hit the terrorists ..

The U.N. are some of the terrorists.

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

Like my husband said last night, they knew what the program was in Lebanon. If they weren't prepared for the consequenses, they shouldn't have been there. But we all know that Kofi was just looking for an excuse to justify his anit-Semitism by jumping at the chance to say something against Israel...

Hey, there is a war going on over there. There is no "peacekeeping in the middle of a war. Kofi should have gotten his so called "peacekeepers" out of harms way. If they're injured blame Kofi, not the Israelis.
