About That UN Observation Post Incident

We received emails from him a few days ago, and he was describing the fact that he was taking fire within, in one case, three meters of his position for tactical necessity, not being targeted. Now that’s veiled speech in the military. What he was telling us was Hezbollah soldiers were all over his position and the IDF were targeting them. And that’s a favorite trick by people who don’t have representation in the UN. They use the UN as shields knowing that they can’t be punished for it.

stein hoist: The blog grandfather, who has the audio, too.

Also from LGF, Canada's PM tells Kofi to STFU.

1 Yes, Stephen Harper can be as forthright as President Bush. Good on him :-)

2 So in other words... "KOFI KNEW!!"

3 STFU Kofi.

4 Hi Vinnie, on a somewhat related topic I just heard Senator John McCain of Arizona describe Israel's actions against Hizbullah as simply an extension of the "War On Terror" that the U.S. is engaged in. I found it very reassuring to see someone of his stature making the case for a direct linkage to the WoT on CNN to millions of people not just in the U.S. but to the entire English speaking world.

5 Bob stop sucking your own Islamist piggy.

You are a fool to believe that it would take Israel hours, from dawn until 7pm, to kill 4 UN unarmed UN toadies perched at the top of a hill.

If anyone was shelling (ancient technology) a UN post for all those hours it was probably Hezb'Allah.

Stop reading (and believing) Al Jazeera-CNN.

6 So, Vinnie... I presume it's you deleting my posts...

Am I only welcome here if I agree with you, totally, 100% of the time?

I wasn't rude, or insulting. I wasn't denigrating Israel's action against a generally-undesireable foe. I was simply expressing an opinion.

I would have welcomed discussion. All I got was censorship.

Doesn't seem right.

Will someone get this traitor out of here...

8 Well, they *are* generally undesireable.

Why am I a traitor? I'd fight for your country, and I'd die for mine...

Posted by: Bob at July 26, 2006 10:13 PM (DfI++)

9 Nope, wasn't me.

10 Bob,
Calling Hezb'Allah a "generally undesireable foe" is like calling Debbie a "generally chubby woman".
There is no need for understatement in either case. Get a clue.

Posted by: Darth Vag at July 26, 2006 10:25 PM (+nlyI)

11 I don't know who this 'debbie' is, I'm afraid.

Think of it as understatement, if you will. For my own part, I simply dislike hyperbole.

Still, I think the sentiment was fairly clear.

Posted by: Bob at July 26, 2006 10:28 PM (DfI++)

12 "I think the sentiment was fairly clear."

Fool:
It is either clear or it is not clear.
Someone is either a foe or they or not a foe.
Stop the use of conditional adverbs like fairly and generally.

Posted by: Darth Vag at July 26, 2006 10:34 PM (+nlyI)

13 You cannot like this blog and dislike hyperbole.

That's comparative to liking sunshine and disliking Florida.

Posted by: Vinnie - Editor In Chief Pro Temporeâ„¢ at July 26, 2006 10:34 PM (/qy9A)

14 Would it be better if I said 'fuck the ragheads'? I could, if you like...

But I thought the thread was about the UN observers...

And for the record - not everything is clear-cut. Some things exist in the murky world of uncertainty. Some things are not simply 'clear or unclear'. Israel shooting up those that attack them? Fairly clear. Israel wiping out UN folk? Less so. It's worthy of discussion.

Stop being so pointlessly aggressive.

Posted by: Bob at July 26, 2006 10:40 PM (DfI++)

15 Or, to put it another way, I'm rarely certain that my opinion is absolutely correct. If I was, I wouldn't bother seeking out discussion.

17 Israels excuse that their were Hezbollah in the area is a poor one. Once again they have shown that their only concern is for their adgenda. Innocents being killed has no place in the Israels leaderships minds.
Example: If terrorists are in the area of a school do you place a precision guided bomb on the school to get the terrorist?
My take. (1)The jews didn't give a shit.
(2) Kofi's clowns are stupid to be there to begin with.
(3) Israel should be bombing the Iranian Jews. Which would save the goats from having sore asses.

Posted by: Scott at July 27, 2006 06:31 AM (69hsc)

18 Scott, you say the same thing over and over. Frankly, I wish you would expand your mind. Goats and Iranian Jews seem to be a peculiar fetish of yours.

Posted by: jesusland joe at July 27, 2006 07:10 AM (rUyw4)

19 Bob: You're full of shit. Quit whinning. I don't agree with them 100%. Maybe 90%, but not 100% and they know it.

Jesusland Joe. Yea man. When that filthy Iranian Jew goat fucker attacks me I go after him. Sorry to subject you to my replies. I understand. Now your turn to understand me. The little bastard called me a muslim. I will stay on his filthy ass until an apology.

You didn't cry when the filthy one repeatedly called me muslim.

Posted by: Scott at July 27, 2006 07:59 AM (69hsc)

20 Bob: Welcome to the fight. Unfortunately, you don't talk like there's much fight in you. The Israel is 100% correct all the timers will eat you alive. Get some respect. Tell them to fuck off.

Posted by: Scott at July 27, 2006 08:04 AM (69hsc)

21 Yeah, Scott, what is it with you & goats, anyway?

Posted by: The All Seeing Eye at July 27, 2006 08:55 AM (I9YKk)

22 Does anyone else get the feeling the Scott is actually just another iteration of greg? Their idiotic screeds sound so much alike, especially about the JOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooozzzz.

23 Bob:

What do you mean, you "dislike hyperbole?" That's like being "generally opposed" to cancer!!

What are you, C-3PO or something??? For my part, I HATE hyperbole. I DESPISE it with every fiber of my being. I wake up every morning seething with hatred for the hyperbole I'm constantly exposed to. The hyperbole LITERALLY makes my eyes pop out of my head sometimes. I'm convinced that hyperbole is the WORST and MOST INSIDIOUS thing even conceptually imaginable--BAR NONE.

The constant use of absolutes is another thing that drves me crazy. People always use absolutes, but they're never appropriate. We'd be better off to be totally rid of them.

Posted by: The All Seeing Eye at July 27, 2006 09:10 AM (I9YKk)

24 I don't need to have an absolute position on every news item that comes up in order to participate in discussions. And I refuse to lower myself to the frankly peurile level of some (not all) of the commenters.

What is the point of a discussion if no-one's prepared to challenge their own opinions? Might as well just draw up the battle-lines and start slugging it out.

Posted by: Bob at July 27, 2006 10:37 AM (BV7IP)

25 Maxie, as bad as I hate to say this, Greg is a rocket scientist compared to Scott.

26 Bob -
 
Are you arguing with the content of my prior post?  Cute.  Are you sure you're not C-3PO?  Do you get into arguments over proper grammar with moisture evaporators & navigational computers?  Do you engage in debate with homeless nerfherders carrying "End is Near" signs?
 
I think Obi-Wan said it best: "Sith deal in absolutes."  He may have intended it as an insult, but I took it as a sales pitch.

Posted by: The All-Seeing Eye at July 27, 2006 11:25 AM (I9YKk)

27 Bob -
 
Nevermind my prior post as it relates to responding to my post.  Looks like you may have been responding just to Scott and not to both of us.
 
I engage Scott, too, which is slightly--but not much--more challenging than arguing with a moisture evaporator.

Posted by: The All-Seeing Eye at July 27, 2006 11:31 AM (I9YKk)

28 Because your mother works the streets.

Posted by: Scott at July 27, 2006 02:51 PM (TJFU/)

29 Yes, Scott, that makes a lot of sense.

Posted by: All-Seeing Eye at July 27, 2006 04:41 PM (c/4ax)

30 Scott:
You are dumb.
You are Muslim.
You terrorize people here.
You are an anti-Jew fascist.
Therefore, you are a stupid Islamofascist terrorist.
...I bet you're queer too...

Posted by: Darth Vag at July 27, 2006 06:41 PM (+nlyI)

31 Far be it from me to rock the boat...

But has anyone else noticed that Darth Fag's posts amount to little more than finger-pointing and bile? Not one iota of intelligence displayed in any single one.

Not that I'm defending this 'scott' fellow. He makes post-op lobotomy patients look like Einstein. But still - Vag... Try to make some form of argument, rather than resorting to playground insults.


And, all-seeing eye - in reference to your earlier post, no, I wasn't talking to you. Had I noticed your comment, I would have, but I missed it. You seem like a thoughtful, bright sort of bloke, and I'd not knowingly denigrate you.
