Reply #100: The "excuse" is just the facts as I know them- granted get in a bunker or [View All]

leave the area is "unfriendly", but then the UN has a reputation of lying about attacks on Israel, lying about Israeli responses, and even offering themselves and their Blue Helmets status and equipment as de facto terrorist (they'd say helping PA civilians and "fighters") allies.

Kofi Annan knows of this background of course - and has no power to change the situation. There are no UN bunker construction requirements, so all he can do is say "Do not shell UN positions" - which then locks in the Hez procedure of firing missiles from UN positions.

To be fair Kofi has call Hez "cowards" for the way they try to get civilians and UN folks killed via shooting rockets from areas where civilians and the UN are located. Indeed Kofi seems a bit more fair and reasoned than most on DU on this topic.
