Reuters Photo (Mahmoud al-Jihad)
QANA, LEBANON - Israeli Defense Forces face fresh charges of war atrocities today, as international press agency Reuters released stark photos showing the devastation caused by a daylight IDF missile attack on a clearly marked Reuters press ambulance.
According to Reuters spokesman Martin Aldwyn, the vehicle was used by the agency's local freelancers to transport poignant war-ravaged street urchins to Lebanese hospitals. Although clearly marked with a red cross, "PRESS," fuzzy dice, and the international symbol for "Baby On Board," the flaming 1950 Mercury was left nearly unrecognizable by the attack. Photos show that the impact of the Israeli missiles slammed the vehicle to the ground, lowered its roof five inches, and left it with a pancaked hood, shaved door handles, frenched headlights and De Soto grille.
The independent group Human Rights Watch called for a United Nations investigation into charges that the Israel missiles were packed with heavy amounts of lead filler, which would violate several international chemical weapon bans. Israeli spokesman Dan Perlestein said the government and IDF were investigating the incident, but categorically denied the accusation of leading.

Really good stuff... like the fauxtography
Where's Looter Guy?..........
LoL...kudos to the "Hawk"!
I dunno. Something about that photo just doesn't look right. I think most Reuters ambulances have curb feelers on all four wheels.
I assume there were a lot of witnesses who saw exactly where the rocket came from.
With a Red Cross it was probably attacked by Hezzies because it didn't have a crescent. Sounds like a garbage claim.
Absolutely hilarious. Once the mocking and the parodies start, the strategy is dead. The Arabs need to find another method of disinformation.
.......ya know, I was thinkin' the same damned thing...?? somethin' ain't right wid dat photo.... like, ya know, that crate has a Noo Joisey plate on da fron' end....!! Whassup wid dat...??? Howda Hell that ting get ovah dere...?? somethin' smells fishy to me, like, ya know.... jus' how stoopit do dese people think we are, anyway...??? what nerve...!!!
Wow...is your parody detector in the shop or something?
Nah. It got bombed by the IDF, despite being clearly marked and surrounded by children and fuzzy animals.

That is soooo good....you know if the muslims had car hobbies like those of us un the free world do maybe they would not be so uncivilized. How about taking out your frustrations in a demolition derby instead of choppin off heads? Maybe it is crash and burn hobbies like racing, demo derbies etc. etc. that make us civilized...goodness channel some of that pent up energy into a sand racing series... NASCAR on sand, something the western world could get excited about.
With the "Beanie Baby" tags still intact!.......
How do I schedule an appointment with the IAF? I'd like to have my vehicle targeted for the same treatment.
