Remember, some Lebonese troops are Hezbullah.

Coincidence?

They show Lebanon protest signs whipped out in an impossible timeframe... and Babs on (Kinko's chart queen), repeat at the same time? Kidding

Certainly can if they choose to, as they have been attacked continuously from Lebanese territory, and as they go into that territory in defense, their choppers can take defensive countermeasures to being fired upon. Remains to be seen what they will do, however, "politically". More interesting, still, what were their choppers doing in that location? Would like to hear.

I think everyone is finding this breaking news and dogging the web site. For those who haven't heard: Lebanese troops fire on 4 Israeli helicopters preventing their landing in the Bekaa Valley.

It's Israel's fault...they're an illegitinate country...they have no claim on the land...yada yada yada. Everything is blamed on the Muslims...in Qana "Israel has turned a disaster in a catastrophe" ...the usual anti-Jew spew...

Yes, and they used Lebanon coastal radars to hit the Israeli ship at the war's beginning.

I guess what bothers me even more is the pass the rest of the world is willing to give the terrorists!

We have a nut here on FR who thinks the government took down the WTC. Well, I said after 9/11 we should all invest in pharmaceutical companies that manufacture anti-psychotic drugs because a lot of people were going to be having nervious breakdowns.

I would love to get a list of all these women and children (Gd bless their souls), that died in building hits... I wonder who they were married to or who was holding them there. If my kids were there, no way with a rocket launcher near could I stay.

This and that. Whatever a terrorist would not want you to find. ;-)

Thanks for the spelling of Becca valley.

I think the point is that the riots at the UN headquarters will keep the newspeople from having time to ask too many questions about what might have happened at Qana.

That's okay. If Lebanon gets that emergency Security Council meeting it's been clamoring for, Bolton can do a show-and-tell, with the video of the Katyushas being fired from around the building in Qana as well as a timeframe on how it took 8 hours for the building to collapse.

BTW, if the IDF had spotters getting video of rockets being fired from that site, wonder what else the IDF might have? Like video of what took place over that eight hours between when the building was hit and when it fell...?
