Thank you for furthering the point. The 'world body' is copycatting the phrase 'minimize civilian casualties' and directing that phrase toward Israel! Why? Because of the BS 'myth' (IMHO) or rumor that over 300 Lebanese have been killed.

Not one reporter, not one that I've heard, has asked for proof of this 'claim.' The impotent UN and terrorist sympathizers just eat it up (that includes our MSM) without asking for 'verification.' It really sickens me how the US media panders to the terrorists. Don't they realize if they lived under the rule of these beasts that they would be killed, creatively and painfully? It's like reporters feel they are 'untouchable' and not to be held accountable, kind of like our judges. It's really frustrating.

"Not one reporter, not one that I've heard, has asked for proof of this 'claim.' "

They do not ask questions because they already have their stories written and ready for print/broadcast. Their stories are: Israel is the bad guy; the UN calls for a ceasefire; meetings were held, blah, blah, blah.

Too bad for reporters: the UN has a tough American Ambassador that calls them on their passivity; diplo-speak is being revealed as empty, endless rhetoric which solves nothing. Tony Snow takes names and kicks WH reporter butt. Finally President Bush isn't allowing them to write the script.
