UN observer: Hizbullah using us as shields

Six days before he was killed by IDF fire, Canadian observer Major Paeta Hess-von Kruendener sent an email to his former commander at the Canadian army, in which he said that Hizbullah members were "running around in our positions" and using the post as a shield against Israeli attacks.

The soldier wrote that the IDF's strikes in the days before his death were "necessary" and made it clear that "this has not been deliberate targeting." The former commander, Major-General Lewis MacKenzie told of the letter in an interview to a Canadian radio show. (Ynet)

Oh boy, just wait till Kofi finds out who this guy is. We won't see him again. Actually stating facts about Hezbollah can get you seriously hurt in Kofi's little blue army...

I got news for the observer. The UN is using you as human shields too. In blatant violation of geneva convention rules I might add.

He's dead.

Kofi will have to get through 10,000 screaming hosers to touch MacKenzie, and most of them in kilts.

Not a chance.

Besides, MacKenzie likley packs. He has brokered 20 cease fires during his career and knows how to play Kofi's nasty little game.

do I really have to say it???

Muslims slaughtering people by the millions in the Sudan, and I bet Kofi is scratching his ugly head saying "This is a Zionist plot."

Note to Hizbollah, Kofi needs a job, AS A HUMAN SHIELD.

Hezbollah was using UN post as 'shield'

The words of a Canadian United Nations observer written just days before he was killed in an Israeli bombing of a UN post in Lebanon are evidence Hezbollah was using the post as a "shield" to fire rockets into Israel, says a former UN commander in Bosnia.

Those words, written in an e-mail dated just nine days ago, offer a possible explanation as to why the post -- which according to UN officials was clearly marked and known to Israeli forces -- was hit by Israel on Tuesday night, said retired Maj.-Gen. Lewis MacKenzie yesterday.

I saw that this a.m. on Fox, it should not be a surprise to anyone, but Kofi, maybe he can buy a vowel and complete the puzzle.

Hey, you aren't supposed to actually read things constitutions, laws, and treaties. You are supposed to trust the mainstream media to interpret them for you. You aren't qualified to read the plain language of such documents without professional help.

Oh it's worse than all that. I read the stuff and then I talk to other people about it and even point out relevant info.

Won't the UN please take the internet before I inform again.
