Israel has already said there were rocket-launcher sites adjacent to the building, but that the building was not a target and hitting it was a mistake.

Launching rockets next to a civilian shelter is a clear war crime by Hiz, precisely because this kind of disaster is often what results. In fact, I imagine Hiz WANTED a big pile of bodies for their propaganda war, because the usual suspects will blame Israel for the response and not Hiz for the clear war crime of dragging civilians into the conflict.

It's working. Former Navy Sec. Dalton is saying we must negotiate with the Hezzies.

He says that we should go back to things the way they were before the "hostilities".

It's only a war crime if it gets prosecuted as such. The Viet Cong got off scot-free. And who's making noise about this? Nobody. Not even Bush.

I am sure that that is exactly what happened here. Hez can't win the fighting war, but they can win the propaganda war with considerable help from the media, which they are getting.

Exactly!!! They have their own TV station and are playing this up to the hilt. The world should be condemning their terror tactics of involving innocents. Any civilian deaths in Lebanon are the fault of the Hezbollah terrorists. They are disgusting and should be tried for war crimes.

Let's see, where are my notes on Geneva, Geneva . . . here they are. Yes, I see it applies to lying, deceitfully uniformed, child-murdering hate worshippers representing no particular sovereign nation. It does!

.....Hiz WANTED a big pile of bodies ...

Fifty bodies is chump change when compared to 230 dead US Marines.
