Yeppers...a Hezzie looking at the poster..

I dare say more of the people in these countries probably have Amrerican flags to burn...than some communities in America to fly.

There were reports from around noon that had IDF near Qana, not in it.

Confusion? The top update indicates Syrian territory not hit. When I first looked at it I thought they were retracting their comment about the Lebanon strike. Help me see the confusion. Thanks.

Good point...if Sinoire has ANY power, the least he should be able to do is tell the Hezzies to take down that banner in Beirut.

All I have is MSM. Tonight they showed the dead children in see-through plastic bags, not the black ones. Then the fat guy on the stretcher. Then several women, while doing a voice-over.

They finally "landed" on one woman who had lost her child. They talked to her and she told how she had been up to her waist in building rubble, trying to dig her child out.

It was very sad - but her black head scarf, and the nice pastel one right under it, with its border showing perfectly evenly beneath it, was perfectly in place without one speck of dirt or dust on it. There was rubble everywhere around her, just not *on* her. I've only seen that in movies.

Yep. Israel promised to suspend air strikes in southern Lebabon. It made no such undertaking for other parts of the country.

Nothing we've seen has indicated that Syria was hit - yet now the IDF is issuing a denial - why would that be?

This is from Pajamas Media about that banner:

The Qana Gap, cont’d: “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.” John @ Powerline asks: “What seems odd about this is that the banner was unfurled within hours after the Qana attack took place. The building where the civilians died was bombed on Sunday morning, and the demonstration took place during daylight hours, later the same day. I have no idea what kind of facility it takes to produce a 30-foot-high banner like this one. It is obviously professionally done. It would be interesting to know where this banner was produced; who designed and paid for it; and how its production was expedited so that it was ready for use, on the street, within hours after the event being protested. For example, was the image of Rice produced in advance, awaiting a pretext for its use, with only the script added at the last minute? I’ve often been curious about the logistics of pro-terrorist demonstrations, and this seems like an especially curious example.”

Dang...it is a full press propaganda commercial, it sounds like to me.

I always find it interesting that there seems to be a surplus of American flags in the Middle East

I have felt for some time that all flags for export should be made with explosive thread, what to do about off shore production has been a problem.
