U.N. PWNED
yep that too
That's a good catch. Israel struck there earlier also, so it sounds like it's getting "tripwire" tense.
WHO IS THIS MAN
If he had been a genuine rescue worker, he would deserve a medal. Mr "Green Helmet" is everywhere at Qana, rushing around pulling children out of the rubble, carting them to ambulances and even, on the front page of the Guardian, escorting "White Tee-shirt", who also performs his own cameo role, carting round the body of another unfortunate girl, emoting freely while he does so.
That photograph is credited to Nicolas Asfouri of AFP/Getty Images and the caption reads, "A man screams for help as he carries the body of a young girl after Israeli air strikes on the southern Lebanese village of Qana".
"White Tee-shirt" is still "screaming" on the front page of The Telegraph, but in an altogether different location, this photograph attributed to Reuters. He also makes the front page of The Times and The Independent, in yet another location, with “Green Helmet” just out of shot.
The New York Times, however, has "Green Helmet" dragging the body of yet another unfortunate child from the ruins, this photograph attributed to Tyler Hicks of The New York Times. The caption reads, "Rescue workers recovered bodies at the scene of an Israeli air raid on the southern Lebanese town of Qana on Sunday".
We also get one more shot of the baby dragged from the rubble – yet another pose to add to the many already published. This time, "Blue Tee-shirt" is standing behind the baby's body, holding its head up to make a more dramatic picture.
The picture itself is in Arab News with the caption, "A dead child, a victim of Jewish terror, is taken out of a destroyed building in Qana on Sunday. The pacifier of the child is seen hanging from the vest, a mute testimony to the innocent victim's tragic end." The photograph is attributed to EPA.
A picture remarkably similar to that in The New York Times is also offered by Reuters, attributed to Zohra Bensemra. Its caption reads, "A Lebanese volunteer rescuer carries a child killed in the Israeli air raid in Qana." It looks like the same child, but "Green Helmet", seems to have swapped positions for the camera with "Grey Tee-shirt".
Gulf News, on the other hand, has "Green Helmet" carrying the body of the girl shown in the previous post, but in yet another, slightly more picturesque location. This shot carries no attribution and the caption is not related to the picture. It refers to the cessation of air strikes by the Israelis.
But the great tragedy for Qana, of which we are constantly reminded by the media, is that this is history apparently repeating itself. On 18 April 1996, the village was also visited by death and destruction. re-visiting the photographs of the time, however, who do we see at the centre of the action? Why, "Green Helmet" of course. This is a younger man, without his glasses, but recognisably the same man, in his now classic pose of handling a victim of an Israeli "atrocity".
His presence at Qana on Sunday, and his central, unchallenged role, cannot have been a coincidence. Is he a senior ranking Hezbollah official? If not, who is he?
* * * *
And here he is again!
This time, according to Reuter's Zohra Bensemra, "Green Helmet" is a Lebanese rescue worker, watching "while a bulldozers clears away the rubble of a building demolished by an Israeli air strike in Sreefa, 18 miles (30km) south east of the port-city of Tyre(Soure)". The dateline is 31 July, 2006, at 10:37 am.
Doesn't Hezbollah have anyone else the media can photograph?
cnn pipeline: beirut: lebanon-iran press briefing starting soon?
The U.N. to "investigate" Qana? The laugh o'the day.
You work with Alan Colmes. I feel sorry for you.

2 reports regarding Syrian involvement within a 30 minute time span (and this isn't your typical resupply convoy target or a report of a syrian made missile hitting Israel, this is more direct) Syrian made bombs going off on israeli occupied syrian territory is a ratchet up on the tensions. Look for the IAF to bomb a couple of targets inside Syria
if the news came from Syria or CNN, golan heights is considered "occupied syria" and not israel ;^)
Rush says still waiting for Netanyahu to phone in for interview ... stay tuned.
Is it Green Helmet man...or White Tee-Shirt guy??
I saw both.
i'm getting conflicting signals, are these events one in the same.
Ynet reporting a landmine went off inside Syria
Reuters reporting a syrian explosive device went off on a patrol road in the Golan
If this is the same event syria and israel inch closer to direct conflict
If these are two separate events happening within a 30 minute time span dirct conflict may be imminent
I presume YOU foresee what that means for America should we not enter the fray on the correct side. That choice is fast approaching, as if G-D will no longer allow America to sit the fence.
A gathering of US forces along the Iraqui border with Syria would be an intersting tactic. The Kurds would be with us. What other nation will stand on the side of Israel, an historic moment of judgement between the "Quick and the Dead?"
OR around RDTF.
green Helmet Man...
He seems to pop up in every one of these HEZ dead baby propoganda photos, and this is not the first time!
I hope someone with more "SKILLS" than I do will help you out!
yall may be onto something
