"" IIRC the original article indicated that Chinese engineers (WTF?) were the first to arrive with backhoes and such... ""

I sincerely hope and pray China is not also backing the Hezbolla(on the ground and with weapons). China has already condemned Israel for the incident.

the fact that israel had left Labanon with Hezbollah intact..

What? Wasn't that the UN's responsibility, to see to it that Lebanon disarmed Hezbollah?

I'm no FRexpert but I thought it was not only bad form but that it was also against FReeper guidelines to post another's post on another thread?

As I understand it, the Google maps are not up to date. I've heard they are as old as 4 years. The buildings in the area look to be somewhat new. That might be why you're not seeing them.

Even the earlier mob riots on the UN were most likely staged

I especially liked how quickly the "impromptu" mob had their PA system blaring.

I went to that thread first this morning...but, wasn't really happy with the "tone" some of the posters were taking...so, I finally found this site...

I find that the ones that want to dicuss things logically, and bring some common sense to the table tend to hang out here.

Maybe you should send the CNN link to Jennifer of Fox News. She's blaming the IDF/IAF for a direct hit on the building. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Great link, btw.

You might be interested in a subject called GIS, a fantastic new set of technologies which allows you to create your own maps from databases of elevation models, and overlaid raster and vectory imagery.

A good place to start is here:

Good grief - now we're being directly threatened with an attack from Iran. They are sure big talkers for not having a nuke.

(I'm thinking they are either totally nuts or they do).
