While Kofi Annan is toiling night and day over his diver's scallops and imported aromatic coffees served in those small, meaningful and romantic cups with the little saucers, as he wallows around in his internecine struggle to field a meaningful contingent of good looking troops who'll pass the time of day with Hezbollah but not block their way, the New York Times is hot on the scent of Israeli bombs.
And Pinch Sulzberger is not content to simply cast a trained nose over the bombs, he's immersed in the determination of the bombs qualitˆ§t und prˆ§dikat, just as he would in savoring any good German wine from the Rheingau region.
Thus the New York Times, in their August 25th article, is very concerned that the doggoned Israelis may have used those dreaded cluster bombs again, as they have in the past to defend themselves, which, they explain, are very effective against ground troops or rocket launchers and similar units.
And the Times explains that the UN Mine Action Coordination Center, apparently the one element of the tottering and abysmally dysfunctional international gang which seems to generate reams of paper and little else except scandals and immense rake-offs, has identified bomblets,"including American types," in exactly"249" locations south of the Litani River in Lebanon.
So, somewhere out there in the midst of the destruction, dodging Israeli special forces, the occasional IDF air strike, Hezbollah re-supply activities, to say nothing of the vast fauxtography operations of Reuters, AP, and the NY Times itself, and the hundreds of shills, actors and make-up artists involved in this huge pro-Hezbollah operation, this little known UN outfit has been scampering around with enough trained personnel to find some 249 places where cluster bombs are now resting comfortably.

A double entendre worthy of note.
