#1 Smells like another 'Gaza beach shelling' incident to me. Kill your own people, or your friends in this case, and blame it on the Joos. The MSM, etc. etc. lap it up, cos it's what they want to hear.

#2 "I am sure the Israelis targeted our outpost deliberately. OK, so we were giving some tactical information to our buds in Hezbollah, but so what. I mean, we've been doing that for years now. What got the jew-boys knickers in a twist this time??? I'm really pissed. They are not going to believe the heavy handed letter of condemnation that I am going to write. And my buds at ABC, CBS, NBC, BBC, CNN and lots of other places are going to back me up 100%. Yeah, them jooooos really stepped in it this time."

"So, where we goin to dinner. I'm famished...Your buying tonight right?"

#3 We would never target a UN post never never!

The Hezbollah flag flying next to the post, though is a legitimate target!

#4 How would this pimp know "deliberate" from anything else? He has no military or even common sense credentials. Worm.

I saw someone invented a few news ones yesterday...

Kofi's a DiploBat and MuzzBat SympBat AssBat.

#5 When the UN allowed Hizb'allah to build observation posts right next to the UN ones it lost all it's vanunted "peace keeper" trappings. Goofy Asshat is going to have to get over it.

#6 Did those morons really allow Hez observation posts to be placed anywhere near UN observation posts? If so, I'll bet they don't do that again.

When Kofi said it was deliberate, perhaps he just meant that the Israelis hit what they were aiming for. Unless someone knows differently, I am going to assume what was not reported, or what Kofi did not say was that the Israelis just didn't know it was occupied by UN observers instead of Hez. It seems logical that it would have been occupied by Hez observers because they have no morals and because there should have been no UN observers there. It also seems logical to me that Kofi is going to be covering his a$$ on this one, just like he does on all his screwups, by blaming something "unforeseeable or incomprehensible" about the combat.

#7 What an IRRESPONSIBLE thing to say!!!!! Proof? Evidence? None. What an SOB he is. I have nothing but contempt for this asswipe.

He simply makes an accusatory declaration. This is a statesman? A diplomat? Nah. Just the leader of the UN....and we know how reasonable and objective that ~~group of petrowhores~~ peace loving, fair minded, balanced body is.

#8 Observation post? Observing phueching WHAT?

When this kak started, the UN should have told those people to haul ass outta there, peace keeping/monitoring suspended.

#9 Well, when you house Hezbollah in UN post, what the fuck do you expect to happen? I encourage Israel to hit more UN targets. And the US too. Like Turtle Bay.

#10 "Furthermore, the source added, the strike came after repeated requests by UNTSO commanders to the IDF not to strike that specific position."

If true, this is could become a collosal blunder politically. It's not like the target was a mistake. Bottom line...UN get out now! It's not like your referees judging a vollyball game.

#11 An observation post.

"OK, Hamid. That rocket was 500 meters to the right and 300 short of the school."

#12 Question 1-Why isn't the UN "cuttin and runnin" as quickly as they did in Iraq after then unknown Zark blew up the non secured UN mission.
Question 2- I am certain Kofi wants the investigation to proceed as "thoughtfully and carefully" as the "oil for food" investigation, right?
Question 3- What if it is found the IDF precision strike set off an unforeseen secondary explosion? Kofi knows this for sure?

#13 Following up Besoeker's #8:

Did any UN observer ever report Hezb activity?

Even once? Ever?

Even when they were co-locating their "observation posts" (fighting positions) within spitting distance of the UN positions?

$100M per year. What a scam. Let's see, the usual skim margin is about 30%...

I want a refund. And a shitload of UN heads on pikes.

Start with this Annan bitch with the big mouth and the brain-damage bias.

#14 Those UN deaths are on Kofi's hands. This is why we don't let politicians run armies.
What dumb fuckin Kofi doesn't realize is that as soon as the Hezb are through using his blue hats, they will kill the blue hats in a flash. Kofi should be evacuating his troops NOW.
While at it, give Hizballs bonus points for using blue hats as human shields. Creativity counts for something.

#15 Kofi's comments are predictable. He's long since given up any pretense of fairness. The automatic knee-jerk moral equivalency arguments are unpacked every time there's a crisis.

The more Kofi automatically equates civilized people with cockroaches, the more irrelevant he becomes, and the need for the US to quit the UN becomes more apparent.

#16 Ok. Now I have some questions for Kofi.
The UNiFIL guys were observvers. Did they observe Hizbollah building bunkers and moving in rocket launchers ?
Did they say "hey you can't do that here." ?
Did they report these doings to the UN ?
Where are these reports ?
What did you do about it ?

#17 Did any UN observer ever report Hezb activity?

Even once? Ever?

It is time to DEMAND an answer.

#18 Remember, Kofi and other new world order moonbats think that the UN should use taxes to support their own army. Well, once again, reason is provided why Americans will not serve under the UN banner, or under UN command.
This is also a reminder of how useless the UN has become.

#19 Given that these guys were all from 3rd world armies, what do think that the odds are that they were almost every one of them subborned by Hizb'allan? (Hmmm. Cooperate and live or report honestly and get a metric ton of Allan's love sent to your compound special delivery. What do you think a Ghanian battalion commander is going to choose?) Leaving observers (who ususally aren't armed or only lightly so) in a war zone is unprecedented. Was Hizb'allan in effect holding them hostage by not allowing them to leave? If I am reading Wetchard's round up correctly, then Hizb'allan has been using the the OPs to shelter their firing positions and civilian population (and probably fighters) for he length of the conflict.

I do not think that Canada is Third-World.
