Report: IAF jet downed over Lebanon; IDF denies
By YAAKOV KATZ
According to an Al-Jazeera report, an Air Force jet was downed over Lebanon Monday afternoon.
The IDF denied the reports after an initial investigation.
Fox now backtracking as well.
Second breaking news they've backtracked on in the last half hour.
And the lesson is (for Fox news):
Never quote Al Jazeera propaganda.
Thanks Diverteach for the update.
Watching the film clip now.It's *clearly* not an aircraft.

What does it look like?
Lying is cultural trait of Arabs, says Barak
Brian Whitaker in Jerusalem
Thursday May 23, 2002
The Guardian
Palestinians have no compunction about telling lies and see truth as irrelevant, the former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak has claimed in an interview.
"They are products of a culture in which to tell a lie... creates no dissonance," Mr Barak says. "They don't suffer from the problem of telling lies that exists in Judaeo-Christian culture."
"Truth is seen as an irrelevant category," he says."There is only that which serves your purpose and that which doesn't. They see themselves as emissaries of a national movement for whom everything is permissible. There is no such thing as 'the truth'."
Interviewed by the Jewish historian Benny Morris for an article in the latest issue of the New York Review of Books, Mr Barak not only relates his comments about lying to Yasser Arafat in particular, but to Arab society in general.
He says: "The deputy director of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation once told me that there are societies in which lie detectors don't work, societies in which lies do not create cognitive dissonance [on which the tests are based]."
As an example of Mr Arafat's alleged mendacity, Mr Barak cites an incident in October 2000, shortly after the start of the intifada. The Israeli and Palestinian leaders, together with Madeleine Albright, the US secretary of state at the time, were meeting in Paris to discuss a ceasefire.
Mr Arafat had agreed to call a number of his police commanders to implement a truce.
Mr Barak recalls protesting: "'But these are not the people organising the violence. If you are serious, then call Marwan Bargouti and Hussein al-Sheikh [two West Bank Fatah leaders].'
"Arafat looked at me, with an expression of blank innocence, as if I had mentioned the names of two polar bears, and said, 'Who? Who?'
"So I repeated the names, this time with a pronounced, clear Arabic inflection... and Arafat again said, 'Who? Who?'
"At this, some of his aides couldn't stop themselves and burst out laughing. And Arafat, forced to drop the pretence, agreed to call them later."
Im listening to ABC news. A reporter in Beirut dives for cover as an incoming IDF comes in, targeting the Hezbollah News truck not far from where he stood.
Now let me ask something? Why would you set up your cameras anywhere close to Hezbollah's news truck?
In fact, why would you want to be within five miles of the Hezbollah leader when he does his news conference.
Arafat's mentor. She perfected the lie to an art form.
Reporters caught Bush on an open mike talking to Blair. I couldn't make out what he said, but it was something to the effect that "Hezbollah needs to get hell out of there."
Did anyone pick up what he said?
It looked like a piece of a rocket or something of that sort.
ABC is reporting that a plane was shot down. Was it, or was it not? Does anyone know?
It wasn't a plane, it was a missle that malfunctioned and crashed according to the Israelis.
That's what I thought but the ABC reporter is saying it was a plane... and Hezbollah is scrambling to pick up the two downed pilots.
I'm so sick of these dumb @ssholes over there...
Nikos, you've got to wean yourself off of the lying leftist media. I don't watch, listen, or read any product produced by the super-cultural seven: NYCrimes, WashCompost,Time, Newsweak, absleaze, seeBS, or NBC.
You never get the full picture from these leftwing dolts, only twisted facts and the leftist spin.
ROFL! Great picture, and very true!
"Nikos, you've got to wean yourself off of the lying leftist media."
I slipped this AM. It was the first time that I've watched MSM in over a year. Last night I watched Larry King. His knowledge of the situation is naive and troubling.
As usual he had Christina Lampour (sp?) and of course she was comparing Bush to Clinton and how ineffective he is.
Back to talk radio and Fox.
