8/5 Middle East Live Thread
Middle East Live Thread ^ | 8/5/06 | BurbankKarl

Posted on 08/04/2006 10:23:17 PM PDT by BurbankKarl

An Israeli soldier grieves for Sgt. Yonatan Sharabi, 19, killed in action in southern Lebanon, during his funeral at the Petah Tikvah cemetery in central Israel. Israeli warplanes pounded areas north and south of Lebanon, killing at least 38 people, as Israel's largest city Tel Aviv braced for a rain of retaliatory Hezbollah rocket fire.

He is not so much clueless as he doesn't want the U.S. and Israel hitting his cash cows.
as in "Oil for Food"

I think I mixed up a couple of captions. In the third photo down, the Israeli soldiers are at the funeral of another soldier. . .

The bottom one, missing a caption, I think are IAF paratroopers... not sure.

This guy is just totally ____ clueless. Not at all. He knows there will eventually be a cease fire. Either because GWB looses his nerve (Worst case) or because the bearded one and all his followers are taking a ride in the back of Green Helmet Guy's truck (Best Case). So Kofi will ask for one every day. When it eventually does happen he will then take credit for it. The press will conveniently forget all of the times his calls went unanswered and he will win another Nobel prise.

So if an Israeli missile kills him and a bunch of Lebanese, we'll know they're hizbollah 'fighters' and not citizens.

They keep saying 'fighters' instead of 'terrorists'!?!

Pretty soon they'll be 'liberators' according to the MSM. Freakin' ah@l#s.

They'll be calling them "those whacky hooligans" before it's all said and done.

Here's a link to Sky News on the Tyre story

Good morning y'all.

It's quiet in the "Forgotten War Zone" today.

So far.

I agree with you. Kofi Annan is far from clueless. He oversaw the remilitarization of southern Lebanon by Hezbollah. If he ever lands on Israeli soil, he should be arrested and tried for war crimes against the Israeli people. He's nothing but a war criminal and enemy collaborator.

I find FOX has great live coverage.

I don't have a TV in my computer room, but I can get CNN International via Internet, with adequate live coverage after midnight. And CNN probably has more live coverage from Lebanon.

I just checked the TV in the living room, they're only showing reruns on Fox News, MSNBC and CNN.

17:46 Death toll in IAF strike near Lebanon-Syria border rises to 28 (AP)

Is this where Syrian Kurdish farm workers were killed... must have been a mistake...?

00:18 Bush conducts 15 minute phone conversation with UN`s Annan (Reuters)

23:31 U.S. Jews meet Annan, voice displeasure at UN`s stance on Lebanon crisis (Haaretz)

A couple of interesting headlines there.

Re 22:37 Hezbollah: We fired `Khaibar 1` missiles at Hadera, same type fired at Afula (Ch. 10):

'Some experts suspect the "Khaibar-1" Hezbollah announced is just a "marketing" name, invoking images of an historic battle, and not really a new missile. It's just a longer-range missile (probably a Fajr-5) Iran has sent them via Syria.' (per http://airbornecombatengineer.typepad.com/airborne_combat_engineer/2006/07/hez_well_see_yo.html)

Good morning and glad to hear it's quiet. Less than an hour ago a thread was posted and the article is written by an AP reporter named Tom Lasseter. He seem to be under the impression there's a civil war going on. Most on the thread don't seem to believe him though. :-)

Here's the link if you want to check it. Glad all's well.

Thanks for that! I just read sandmonkey.org, an Egyptian blogger, and it was certainly interesting when I went to his many links re: the Irael/Leb war. I urge everyone to go take a look.
