[Philosoraptor]

According to Mr. Blitzer, the next phase has begun. Part of the new offensive from the Israeli Military, a more robust operation approved by the Israeli cabinet.

1. Yep.

More enemies being fashioned in the middle east our grand children will have to deal with (if America still exists at that time).

2. "Robust" aka Murderous.

Right up there with "collateral damage" and "unfortunate side effects".


The killers always have euphemisms for killing.

3. Leslie's having his wargasm

how quaint. :puke:

[paparush]

If it keeps up, he'll have multiple wargasms...

[Mandate My Ass]

6. It's been a three-week, non-stop wargasm

for the neocon cheerleaders. The slaughter must end. Enough is enough. :cry:

4. But the Israeli spokesperson says it is not yet begun.

they are just announcing that they (Israel) will totally destroy Lebanon first before they will stop this carnage.

5. "Robust" as in more deadly.

It's beyond sad how they trivialize and euphemise death.

7. spokeswoman says no, although clearly a continuation of the same

I'm watching for the promised advance north which would signal a move that would threaten Syria.

8. Those spokespersons are really slick and smooth.

I love it when they deliver the official war line real cool and casual like.

sooo reasonable

9. Pat Robertson says that the dead civilians are the cost of freedom

He is in Israel right now to check for the Rapture, and Wolf asked him about the civilian deaths and he said it grieves everybody but we lost 8000 men on Omaha beach to take down Adolf Hitler and freedom costs, and we are fighting an enemy that uses human shields.

I think the Wal-Mart in my community is full of human shields because there is a military base not far from it. I am sorry, it is not something to joke about but I can't believe how much my attitude has changed in the past like month when I really started reading about it.

10. 15 dead Israeli soldiers, according to LBN

This is really getting nauseating.
