#2 This should be interesting.

Factually speaking, something Annan's unfamiliar with:

1) the UN "peacekeepers" should've been pulled out the minute the hot war began. He and his fucked-up UN are to blame.

2) from that point on there was no peace to keep anyway

3) they were utterly worthless before and after that moment

I want to see this prick humiliated.

#4 Another audio from Canadian Colonel ret.

A direct inference that the deaths of the UN peacekeepers was direct result of UN intransigence, incompetence, and a desire to embarass Israel. The suggestion is that the UN knew in advance that Hezbollah was using the post as a shield and that they were warned by their own people and Irael to get out.

#5 CTV.ca has the complete e-mail on their site:
A Canadian soldier's report from South Lebanon
After the kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah, and the subsequent bombing campaign began against Lebanon, CTV.ca received an email from Major Paeta Hess-von Kruedener, a Canadian Forces soldier serving with the UN in South Lebanon. "If you are interested in a Canadian perspective on the events of yesterday and what is happening here in the area I am serving in, I can provide some concise info for you about the current situation," he wrote.

It's a good read on their mission and what was happening on the ground.
