Israel bombs Lebanese troop barrack north of Beirut.

[boston bean]

Just heard on Faux.

[Little Star]

1. WTF, again?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

2. Lordy Loo.

I'm not terrible surprised though.

[panader0]

3. Maybe they'll issue an apology, like about the UN guys.

[Selatius]

4. Bombing the Lebanese Army won't make them disarm Hezbollah any faster

What sense does it make by attacking Lebanon's Army when it's Hezbollah firing the Katyusha rockets?

[CuteNFuzzy]

10. maybe they should go back to bombing ambulances?

[BillZBubb]

5. If so, It wasn't intentional, you know just ANOTHER mistake.

How many mistakes can one country make in a week? What are they the Keystone Kops?

[Warren Stupidity]

22. Mistakes lack intention.

This are misdeeds, blunders, but not mistakes.

[TomInTib]

6. This one is gonna be hard to defend. nt

[malaise]

11. Why?

They bombed one last week and killed Lebanese soldiers. This is deliberate no matter what they say.

[theHandpuppet]

14. Do you think it is a deliberate provocation?

That's what I'm thinking, ie, they want to pull the whole damn Lebanese govt (along with the Lebanese army) into the fight so they can destroy them. This is not just about Hezbollah -- someone wants a new government in Beirut. Or am I tinfoiling?

[CuteNFuzzy]

15. a puppet regime there would suit Israel's desires quite well

[malaise]

17. You're right

Hizbollah is part of the government and Siniora has praised Hizbollah for its role in defending Lebanon. Many senior government men support Hizbollah and they want a puppet government. They are prepared to destroy the country. The US, Britain and Israel will learn.

[TomInTib]

18. I missed the one last week.

Oh, it's deliberate, all right.

[Igel]

23. "Why?" is the appropriate question.

But you seem to have an answer within seconds.

I don't suppose we'll ever find out why. But that doesn't mean we can't believe.

[boston bean]

7. Update: They bombed a Lebanese gov't tv station next to Lebanese barracks

no confirmation of injuries at this time.

Just heard on CNN

[malaise]

8. It's on KO now

on MSNBC. I swear Israel has gone mad. I wonder how many Lebanese soldiers were killed. Thanks Bushie for those 5000ton bombs. If Siniora still deals with the US he too is mad.

[acmejack]

19. 5000ton would make it larger than several of the destroyers I served on.

Somewhat unwieldy for most aircraft to handle, I would think.

[malaise]

21. I think that was in the report I read about

Britain complaining that the aircraft with the bombs landed in England

Could be wrong -won't swear.

[Hubert Flottz]

9. I'll bet Rummy is drawing up the orders for the strikes!

[boston bean]

12. Hey, I like your sig line!

:toast:

[Hubert Flottz]

16. Nice of you to say so!

It's left over from the old John Ashcroft days! I never thought I'd miss that creep!

:hi: :toast:

[bigtree]

13. Israel war against Lebanon

plain and simple. Hizbollah provided pretext.

Where is that 'restraint' Tony Snow said the US asked Israel to exercise?

[LSK]

20. heard on Faux - oh so its probably not true

Did they use an invisible WMD?

[boston bean]

24. Oh it's true. nt
