How many deaths were you prepared for last week?

200 civilian deaths (again forced to live above launchers) is too many? I just don't understand that logic. IT'S A WAR.

Nazz says on Hizbully site that Israel has NOT destroyed 50% of Hizbollah's capability. He also says the soldiers will not be returned without a prisoner exchange.

Maybe 75% is closer?

The govt of Lebanon is in bed with the Hezzi-Nazis. Their Foreign Minister and another cabinet officer are actually Hezz. and others are far too sympathetic.

Numerous acts of war were and are committed by Hezz. from Lebanese territory against Israel. The govt in Lebanon has every moral and legal responsibility to ensure that no warfare is being waged from its territory against another state.

Since they can't or won't do that, Israel has to clean up the mess for them. So now they want to align themselves explicitly with the Hezzi-Nazis? DUMB.......

Karl-
FYI- Remember that amazing photo you posted on the first thread that showed Israeli soldiers during the shock of an explosion as they fired a tank? I think I even commented on it saying the photog would probably win an awrd for it. That photo made it into a the new July 24 issue of TIME - a big double spread about this conflict.

Claudia Rosett is one of the few reporters who still believes in investigative work. She's worked hard on this story and should write a book about it.

Thanks for the ping; I'll read the articles after dinner.

To: I see my hands

If I were carrying such an object, I wouldn't be holding the TOP part of the object with my right hand as the individual is. It would be under the object. However, the hand positioning would be correct if he were carrying a 155 round. The object could never be fired from a cannon and even if airdropped, is not aerodynamically shaped to handle supersonic speeds under a wing.

But there were no cameras there. Besides if they were not killed by westerners it doesn't count, right?

Have a nice meal, I'm off to bed.

PS: I ha already left the yesterday's thread when you answered me about the "refugees". I agree with you and your husband - spoiled brats is probably the best way to carachterize a lot of them. And then as has been discussed today, some of them may also be something much worse.

I agree...
Nothing on the vehicles behind fire that kind of a round, and I just can't see anything Air-delivered near a highway gaurd-rail...

Now.. If someone could stumble into the ORIGINAL PICTURE, we can start a challenge against this moonbat....
