UNIFIL Shows its Colors (surprise!)
Weekly Standard ^ | 09/04/2006 | Lori Lowenthal Marcus

Posted on 08/28/2006 5:22:11 AM PDT by TenthLegion

DURING THE RECENT month-long war between Hezbollah and Israel, U.N. "peacekeeping" forces made a startling contribution: They openly published daily real-time intelligence, of obvious usefulness to Hezbollah, on the location, equipment, and force structure of Israeli troops in Lebanon.

UNIFIL--the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, a nearly 2,000-man blue-helmet contingent that has been present on the Lebanon-Israel border since 1978--is officially neutral. Yet, throughout the recent war, it posted on its website for all to see precise information about the movements of Israeli Defense Forces soldiers and the nature of their weaponry and materiel, even specifying the placement of IDF safety structures within hours of their construction. New information was sometimes only 30 minutes old when it was posted, and never more than 24 hours old.....more at link

You did very well.

Basically, this confirms what many suspected and predicted would happen as that agreement was ratified.

Yeah, with the UN you can pretty much guess what'll happen....anything that goes against common sense and liberty.

Ya done real good.

Except that the article's headline, "What did you do in the war, UNIFIL?" is different from what you posted.

Who is going to investigate the UN?

IMHO, the UN doesn't need to be investigated. It needs to be ignored.

Since our tax dollars support UNIFIL spies and betrayers, we're again financing our own destruction.

Obviously no one in Washington or the Administration gives a 'Rats patootie.

If they did, we'd hear about things like this, wouldn't we?????.......rather than having to read about it in some print media comparatively few people see, or on the internet, right?????.

We'd see and hear the immediate outrage from our Republican elected officials, correct?????

And I'm sure the Kafi-klutchers in the DC press corps will ask Tony Snow about it at the next presser, think so?????

Like the trusting wife, we suckers are always the last to know......if we ever get to know at all, that is.

Meanwhile...

Schumer Deems U.N. Headquarters Unsafe, Calls For Renovations (not satire!!!)

Explain that to your constituents, Chuckie, especially the ones who support Israel.

Looks Good! Read this on GAMLA before looking here.

Just added Israel and some keywords.

Keep it up, Tenth.
