“Apparently Deliberate”
So Kofi is “deeply distressed” by the deaths of four UN “observers”:
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said he was “deeply distressed” by the “apparently deliberate” strike.
“This coordinated artillery and aerial attack on a long-established and clearly marked U.N. post at Khiyam occurred despite personal assurances given to me by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that U.N. positions would be spared Israeli fire,” he said in a statement.
“Furthermore, General Alain Pelligrini, the U.N. force commander in south Lebanon, had been in repeated contact with Israeli officers throughout the day on Tuesday, stressing the need to protect that particular U.N. position from attack.”
Well, certainly in my lifetime the UN has caused as much harm to Israel as Hezbollucks has, what with all the sanctions they’ve put forth and with the UN providing a forum for anti-semitic forces through out the world to have their disgusting positions legitimized. Look, I’m sorry that these guys were killed, but the UN has done nothing to endear itself to Israel, and these Powder-Blue Helmeted Rape Brigades can not expect to go traipsing about in the midst of war zones (and let’s not forget that these UN observers have been in southern Lebanon for years, and they have been effective at stopping what, exactly?) and not catch the occasional round.
That post not only watched as Hezbollah kidnapped their soldiers, they filmed the act of war without trying to stop it. Then they denied it.
Israel denies targeting the UN post. In other news, the US government continues to deny that they purposefully bombed the Chinese embassy in the Balkans.
Hey, Tomahawks sometimes slip, Mike…
I think we’re due for a few more “slips” over Iran.
He wasn’t that upset when the Iraqi truck bomb blowed up his envoy in Baghdad:
Must be because the Jooz did it, not freedom fighters. Hurts worse if it’s Hebrew instead of Hizbullah.
This must be what they mean by “disproportionate force.”
It’s the JEW BULLETS!
At least the little girls who signed the artillery shells can sleep a bit better, with fewer UN troops to hide from…..
