It didn't take long for this to pop up..

Hezbollah supporters place a banner showing US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and reading in Arabic: "The massacre of children in Qana 2, is the gift of Rice. The clever bombs..Stupid," in downtown Beirut. Israel agreed to temporarily halt air strikes in south Lebanon a day after 52 people were killed, many of them sleeping children, when Israeli warplanes bombarded the Lebanese village of Qana, triggering global outrage and warnings of retribution for alleged "war crimes".(AFP/Ramzi Haidar)

I have a feeling today will be an interesting day.

I hope you don't mean that in that Chinese Curse way. ;-)

Israel only said it would not shoot in SOUTH Lebanon where Qana is...they didn't say they wouldn't shoot in other areas of Lebanon or use ground troops.

I am sure that Israel is making sure that those roads can't be used to rearm Hezbollah during the next 2 days.

[Txsleuth]

I STILL can't figure out how they made that banner in so short of a period of time...after the people in Lebanon SAY they found the bodies of the dead.

[BurbankKarl]

Yes, nice two story poster made within hours of a total building collapse...how convenient.

Notice the Hezbollah member at the bottom.

[Txsleuth]

LOL..I see you caught up to THIS thread.

[bnelson44]

It is very possible if they had the art on hand. It doesn't take that long to type the words and print the banner. It is very duable if you have the facilities and the desire.

ynet's report:

Report: Israeli warplanes strike in eastern Lebanon




Israeli warplanes launched raids on eastern Lebanon on Monday, Lebanese security sources said, hours after the Jewish state suspended aerial bombardment of south Lebanon for 48 hours.


The sources said at least two air strikes hit roads near the border with Syria in the early hours. (Reuters)

I have a feeling Hezbullah used the same banner vendor as A.N.S.W.E.R. does,, just a hunch
