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."

These people need to learn how to construct a group of words in such a way as to actually MEAN what they seem to WANT to say.

Supports Israel's claim that they didn't target the UN observers. They targeted the Hizbollah terrorists 10 feet away.
good point. war is being redefined. also, promise is not in the vocabulary.

Pretty much what I suspected. May G-d bless the poor UN schmucks, and may the Hezzies burn extra-hot for this.
You guys do know that there were and may still be U.S. troops on on U.N. peace keeping and observer missions, right? What if they were U.S. troops?
This possum of a leach is trying to CYA!!!

Reading an article in the Doctors waiting room about a famous Psychiatrist in Zurich in which he said as an explanation of a question, that Kofi, if he was observed on a patience bases, my immediate reaction would be, a chronic drug habit, but being who he is, that would be impossible, would it not?

Is this getting into the headlines anywhere in the mainstream yet? This needs to be front page news everywhere, and Kofi Anan should not be allowed to just back away from his earlier statements.
This is not a small local skirmish for Israel, this is a world war. Vermin like Hezbollah, Hamas, Al Qaeda and others are being funded by Islamic goverments, and used for their agenda - spreading Islamic rule worldwide.
Iran, Sryia - your fingerprints are all over this.
Sixty years ago, we would have wiped out nations for less. Why are we sitting on our hands?
Bush was re-elected because he showed strength and resolve in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's time to follow through - invade Syria and Iran NOW.

"The UN's flaccidity in dealing with Islamic terror was glaringly demonstrated when for 11 months it vehemently denied the existence of a videotape of Hezbollah's abduction of three Israeli soldiers. When the cover-up was eventually exposed, the UN, under pressure, made available a heavily edited tape in which the terrorists were protected by blurring their faces."
