We hear of the casualities of "Innocent" civiliens and the IDF, Bur I haven'r seen the casuality count of the bad guys.
two words - a lot
Just read the civilian numbers. At least half are Hezzie terrorists.
CNN breaking just now:
"Israel's Justice Minister Haim Ramon said on Israeli TV that the military has killed 300 Hezbollah fighters since the start of the military campaign three weeks ago."
If we rarely get an accurate count of the dead enemy in Iraq or Afghanistan, why would the enemedia be willing to make it look like the good guys are winning in this war?
Numbers have been released. Not by the Hizbas, though.
Also, because they are wearing civilian clothes, and they get killed, they are "innocent civilians."
If they are successful in killing IDF forces, they claim to be Hez forces numbered thousands strong.
Probably you are sincere and mean well with your question; however, it should not be placed in "breaking news".
Hizzie's Casualities . . . isn't that a college band?
(BTW, it's spelled "casualties." Take that extra I out and you're in bidness.)
you also don't see pictures of hiz fighters alive either. Both their dead and and their living fighters are strickly off screen.
Excellent point....
I also find it very interesting that the MSM seems to gleefully announce the number of 'innocents' as reported by a TERRORIST organization, or a TERRORIST AFFILIATED news organization!
Anyone else find it interesting that the WORLD gets all bent out of shape when IDF allegedly kill 'civilians' who are next to a missle launching site, but are amazingly quiet in their condemnation of muslims who happen to blow up the same number of innocents in Iraq??
Why the double standard??

Methinks that as the Israeli forces fight their way northward few prisoners are taken, if you know what I mean.

Gitmo has proven that's no longer safe for the good guys to take POWs. A country is better off just shooting them.
The liberal establishment's bleatings about "torture" and "lack of civil rights" at Gitmo has bounced right back on them and their phony-balony "regard" for human life.
I'll bet each one of them would rather be a healthy, basketball-playing Gitmo prisoner than a dead Hezzie combatant shot while cornered.

Amen. The NVA and Vietcong went to great lengths to drag off their dead, even if it meant taking more casualties doing it. The object was to discourage their enemy, and prevent loss of morale among their own.
During the Korean War our allies, the Ethiopians, never left a dead man on the field and never had a prisoner taken by the Chinese. As a result the Chinese opposing them were pretty spooked by their own losses to these mystery men they could never identify.
