#1 "Americans and Westerners are not used to dealing with carefully orchestrated and large-scale deception of this kind. It is time that it be recognized as a weapon of warfare, and an extremely potent one at that."

And what do you thing the enemy has been doing for years in Iraq? Now that the possibility exists that by playing with the anti-Israeli terrorists in Lebanon rather than the anti-American/Iraqi terrorists in Iraq, you might, just might, alienate your Friends of Israel sponsors, you 'discover' you might be used to further the cause of the enemy? The feigned surprise is rather unbecoming. And an election is coming up in November. How coincidental.

#2 SS1847, I can never figure out why the Left is so incoherent. Constructing an argument is not that hard. My daughter managed it around age 7. So what's with the meme>meme>meme I've made an argument silliness.

And BTW, the faux irony is laughable.

#3 Americans and Westerners are not used to dealing with carefully orchestrated and large-scale deception of this kind.

I dunno; I think 'Afghan wedding party' featuring an antiaircraft gun was our first clue.

#4 Actually, my dear Shong Sheager8147, the argument has been made, loudly and repeatedly, since the invasion of Iraq in 2003 that the reporters and journalists of the mainstream media have been witting or unwitting catspaws of the enemy -- surely you remember the fuss about Dan Rather's little investigative contretemps vis a vis President Bush's service in the Texas Air National Guard? I find it odd that you've only just become aware of this. But then there is an election coming up in a few months, as you said, so perhaps that explains your current preternatural acuity.

#5 Americans and Westerners are not used to dealing with carefully orchestrated and large-scale deception of this kind.

Actually I think Americans and Westerners have seen this sort of nonsense since the cold war started. 1984 is all about rewriting history.

The Useful idiots either don't report it or they turn off their bull$hit filters because of multicultural brainwashing.

#6 Oh, how horrible that those eeeevil JOOOOOS committed a terrible slaughter in ~~Jenin~~ Kana! We're SO LUCKY that the intrepid, unbiased MSM is right there watching to make certain that the absolute, unvarnished, unequivocal truth gets out to the world--just like they did about Jenin!

#7 So what, no amount of evidence to the contrary will affect the prevailing memes.

#9 Israel taking out a few dozen reporters would cause a stink in newsrooms around the world, but would do wonders for "clearing the air". Robert Fisk can be "victim" #1. Any other nominees?

#11 I nominate charles enderlin, France 2 teevee channel's permanent envoy to Israel, and msm enabler of the pallywood al durah blood libel which has sowed so much hate in the middle east and elsewhere.

#12 Nope...You guys are all wrong. I read the Daily Kos last night and he insists this another "Dan Rather-gate", and the right wing blogs are trying to cover for Israel. Puts the Rantburgers right up there with UFO-freaks, and other conspiracy nuts.

#13 Well, someone needs to tell MSNBC, because of 11:11 Eastern time, they still had a heartwrenching story of a mother pulling her little girl out of the wreckage, and of course, it's the Jews' fault.

#14 Yuk to that MSNBC story - standard drivel from AP and Al-Reuters and not a single word about the big story circulating around; that those kids might well have been put in that building by the Hizbollocks swine.
