There are either one or two more of the whatever he's holding on the ground to the right. I do see a slight shadow near his right leg. Dontcha wish you could google a photo...not it's url but the actual pic?

Ethiopian troops enter Somalia to block militants

I wouldn't be surprised to find out we nudged the Ethiopian's into taking out the Islamic Court group.

Also, his left arm, (stage right), is too long to even belong to him. Very little doubt in my mind that the photo is a fake.

According to rebel_yell_2's account, many of the Arabs evacuating out of Lebanon via American transport were not even American citizens!

What I really wish is that I might come across the 3 or 4 photos that were used to create this one. ;)

I have been trading emails with one of the moonbat Pali lovers that have been bashing the Marines and Bush the past week in the press...

found it - "Maroun er Rass" - x=192, y=278, approx, by the grid on the map. It's on a nice hill.

[BurbankKarl]

Israeli is going to take more casualties....hate to say it.

There are some odd things about their incursions into Lebanon.

Thousands of IDF troops operating in S. Lebanon [Haaretz]

[livius]

Yes, he mentioned that most of the people on the ship were speaking Arabic.

[CDB]

Denial, denial, denial.

Ah, the age-old "Egyptian excuse."

[Dog]

Karl did you just hear the Israeli ambassador...he said at least 10 Hizbullah leaders were hurt or are dead from that airstrike...they are checking to confirm.

He was certain that a meeting was taking place in that bunker.

Israel should:

Call a press conference and say the Lebanese have been very cooperative in giving them Hezbooligan and Nasrallah locations....This would cause quite a stir that could be acted upon.
