Canadian killed from UN force complained his position shielding Hizbullah Dr. Aaron Lerner Date: 26 July 2006
"...the tragic loss of a soldier yesterday who I happen to know and I think probably is from my Regiment. We've received e-mails from him a few days ago and he described the fact that he was taking within - in one case - three meters of his position "for tactical necessity - not being targeted". Now that's veiled speech in the military and what he was telling us was Hizbullah fighters were all over his position and the IDF were (sic) targeting them and that's a favorite trick by people who don't have representation in the UN. They use the UN as shields knowing that they can't be punished for it."

..have you eaten yet?...pack a lunch
Why the hell is the UN keeping it's men right in the middle of a serious shooting war? Why is the UN allowing its "observers" to serve as human shields for the Hizb'Allah?
I'm unhappy about this Canadian being killed due to Kofi Anan's venality
Then Koffi needs to publicly order UN posts to shoot any sheltering themselves within range of the post.
Brit Hume said the same thing this evening.
Well..Kofi was choking on it today. When confronted at the UN about his immediate knee-jerk accusation of Israel doing this deliberately...he said "Remember, I said it APPEARS it was deliberate"...
A man of no character.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting this since the mass media will totally ignore the snews tory since it deals with the truth concerning the UN and Islamic terrorists.
...wait till the next liberal's elected, you'll find out
I just don't get this whole UN thing. You send in people without weapons as observers/peacekeepers and then when a war breaks out you don't evacuate them? Their blood is on Kofi's hands not Israels.
Good cartoon.
Could be better: show a couple of bloody children at the feet of the Hezbollah thug
and a few IDF lads who've made the ultimate sacrifice in the right frame.
No, poor character.
Cool pic...I could use it at the present time at my place...
Tonight you will hear That fat Blonde Frog on MSNBC carp about the Canadian's death
then in a month you will hear some 1/2 minute correction after it is way too late.
Call em on it Now
MSNBC will get the Story wrong again tonight.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh.......about 1946, or thereabouts.
Stephen Harper delivers a rebuke to UN chief Kofi Annan: Canada’s PM doubts Israeli bombing of UN outpost deliberate.
OTTAWA (AFP) - Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper said an Israeli attack on a UN outpost that killed four, including a Canadian, was a “terrible tragedy” but not likely deliberate.
At the same time, he questioned why the UN had manned the outpost in Lebanon near the Israeli border as bombs exploded all around.
“We want to find out why this United Nations post was attacked and also why it remained manned during what is now, more or less, a war during obvious danger to these individuals,” he told reporters.
Asked about UN head Kofi Annan’s statement suggesting Israel had targeted the outpost, Harper said: “I certainly doubt that to be the case.”
You're correct. He does have character- and it is poor, even evil.
I'm sure he has enough oil-for-food money to retire right now.

That's true, they observed, took video, but wouldn't allow Israel access. After all, that might aid Israel in freeing them.
An equally ugly incident Peach reminded me of today.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1672513/posts
In January 2005, Hezbollah planted five camouflaged “improvised explosive devices” (IEDs), inches on the Israeli side of the border near Zarit, 15 mountainous miles inland from the Mediterranean coast.
The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) detected these IEDs and, following procedure, notified UNIFIL.
A French UNIFIL engineer duly certified that the devices were indeed IEDs, then “requested” that Hezbollah remove them.
Hezbollah, not denying it had planted them, flatly refused, stating that since the mines were (just barely) inside the “Zionist” border, it was up to the “Zionists” to remove them.
So the IDF sent in a large armored bulldozer to carry the mines off for disposal.
This task required making a sharp 90-degree right turn from an Israeli road onto the narrow border trail where the IEDs were located.
Making this sharp right turn, the left front corner of the bulldozer inevitably occupied, for a couple of seconds, about a meter of land on the Lebanese side.
During those seconds a Hezbollah fighter directed an anti-tank missile at the narrow, unguarded windshield of the bulldozer.
The pinpoint strike, which our Israeli sources have admitted required extraordinary training and skill, killed the bulldozer’s driver, Sgt. Maj. Jan Rotzanski, a 21-year-old Russian immigrant from Herzliya.
The cynical cruelty of this murder, which Hezbollah proceeded to widely celebrate across Lebanon, speaks volumes not only about Hezbollah, but also about UNIFIL.
