Original Article: Lebanon says Israeli air raid kills 40

An Israeli air raid killed more than 40 people in a Lebanese village on Monday, Lebanon's prime minister said, and other air strikes killed 19 after diplomatic efforts to end the 27-day-old war stalled.

"An hour ago, a horrific massacre took place in Houla village as a result of the intentional Israeli bombardment that resulted in more than 40 martyrs," Prime Minister Fouad Siniora told an emergency Arab foreign ministers meeting in Beirut.

Residents of Houla said they feared up to 60 people, including many children, had been killed. They said most of the people were shepherds who had refused to flee the fighting.

Imagine that. They must be feeling the heat from the Blogosphere...

[MARKUSPRIME]

Wow 40 or 1 no big differance there. /sarc

[epluribus_2]

Well maybe he should not have asked some mullah or hezzie for the count...

[Bigh4u2]

Although you must admit, it does look pretty horrendous.

[pissant]

And I'm going to have to assume that the MSM is feeling the disgust Americans and all truth seekers have for their phony BS they've been reporting.

Let's finally put a stake through this beast.

[Red Badger]

They must have been counting sheep and goats...........

[pissant]

That's the only people they want to talk to.

[jdsteel]

The guy in front looks (full of) falafal.

[GSlob]

Inebriated people do frequently see double. But how drunk does one have to be to see 40-fold?

[Lockbar]

Don't worry! "Green Helmet Guy" will arrive with his refrigerated truck. 39 more bodies will appear.

[pissant]

Good. Now let's get an accurate count of all the dead terrorists the IDF has killed. I gurantee it isn't the handful that has been so far reported.

[jazusamo]

LOL...You suppose they've heard about Reuters pulling all the Lebanese photogs pics?

[Skywarner]

Must be the new math...

[Lexington Green]

The casualty was a blind civilian midget grandmother holding a puppy - as usual.

[pissant]

Well, certainly a sheep or a goat is worth 100 times what a hezzscum sub human is worth. Maybe that explains the multiplication factor.

[pissant]

He needs a Bro.

[Skywarner]

How about the black burka-covered lady who seems to keep loosing every single house she ever owned in Lebanon? What's she on, house #8 or hosue #9?

""An hour ago, a horrific massacre took place in Houla village as a result of the intentional Israeli bombardment that resulted in more than 40 martyrs," Prime Minister Fouad Siniora told an emergency Arab foreign ministers meeting in Beirut."

Intentional...more than 40 martyrs...Can Israel drop an 'errant' bomb on this guy's house already?

[EagleUSA]

The Lebanese PM is so used to working with Hezzbollah, that he forgets that ISRAEL DOES NOT TARGET CIVILIANS!! Yes, unlike his 'buddies', Iraq's proxies, who deliberately target civilians and measure success by civilian body count.

[pissant]

LOL. Funny how they just take the Hezzi's at their word. Do you think Green Helmet was there doing the count?
