Move along, nothing to see here. Same old BS.

countdown to blaming Israel for this in 4...3...2...

Good Morning Charles!

Cry "havoc" and let slip the dogs of war.

Ooopsie!

"Peacekeepers"? "Enablers" might be a more accurate description!

I haven't seen the evidence, but clearly this the Zionists attacking their own puppet organization the United Nations.

What would Chinny Chin Sweet Chinless Wonderboy do?

I'm keeping my car's tank full right now. I'm not advocating that others do so. Just sayin'.

This crap just never ends with these savages.

Shug,

Of course it is Israel's fault. Is there anything in this world that the Islamists and the left don't blame on the jooos?

SL

If this keeps up there will be a strongly worded resolution.

How long before the UN declares Lebanon a quagmire, and pulls out?

Soon, I hope.

ZING!

"The explosion was so loud that it awakended an entire squadron of UN peacekeepers and their 12-year old girlfriends."

I'm sure the explosion scared the hell out of the goats too.

Peacekeepers are getting blown up? They don't do their jobs very well, do they?

“We can confirm that a small explosion occurred in the area of the Qassmiyeh bridge, involving one UNIFIL military police vehicle,” Yasmina Bouziane, a spokeswoan for the U.N. force, said in a statement. “No casualties have been reported. Only damage to the vehicle, a few bottles of wine were broken and the Brie was spoiled. I will tell you if the Champagne had been harmed there would have been serious consequences. We might have had to write a strongly worded letter it that had happened.

The complete quote.

#2 Shug -

Darn, beat me to it.

I was wondering how long before France threatened to "shoot down" Israeli IEDs if they burrowed under French positions.

swhitebull

They were no doubt late for thier guarding the Palis rocket launch site!

/Throws hands in the air and lets loose a stream of obscenities

OT

Drudge has FINALLY discovered the Bush=Hitler comment.

Maybe it will make in into the MSM consciousness now.

Hizballah is rearming and planting roadside bombs right under the noses of the clueless, powerless United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon.

I kind of always thought of them as one and the same.

Fuck Assad, and his little dog, too.

re: #11 Iron Fist

Redeploys to France to monitor the situation more closely.

UN to their Islamofascist overloards..."Thank you, sir, may I have another?"

Blaming it on an Israeli weapon remaining from the Lebanon War in
5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1

Peacekeeping.. whhahahahaha. Sounds like a third world camping trip. I'm sorry but the only way to keep the peace is through superior intelligence and firepower. I don' remember who said it I agree. Peacekeeping is as useless as f*cking to keep your virginity.

John Bolton verbally criticizes the UN, and the Left goes ballistic, painting him as the devil incarnate.

Hezbollah tries to kill UN representatives, and the Left responds with...silence.

I'd like a big heaping of hypocrisy for breakfast, please.

Nahoul the Killer Bee blames the Jooos.

Only damage to the vehicle

Uh-oh, their vehicle was damaged. How will they get around?

I thought nancy had fixed this. Why- she was second President or something.

re: #30 zombie

NOW/Clinton alleged serial rapes by several women - silence.

Left's standard M.O. When it doesn't fit the agenda, feign ignorance.

Here is San Francisco, we're trying to decide who we like better: Hezbollah, or Hamas.

And the winner is...Hezbollah!

Let's see. The UN has won how many battles without american troops doing the heavy lifting? Why, none.

The phrase "You reap what you sow" comes to my mind on this one. I guess the morons at the U.N. thought as long as they turned a blind eye to Hizballah's rearming that they would be immune to the consequences. I'm wouldn't be happy about the loss of human life, but maybe when Hizballah starts filling body bags with UNIFIL personnel, they wake up to the fact that these blood thirsty bastards hate all non-muslims and intend to clear the earth of anyone who doesn't convert to the pedophiles religion.

I have to disagree with Charles.

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon may be "powerless"
but they are not "clueless". They just don't give a damn if Hizb'allah is rearming for another war with Israel.

re: #33 paxnhymn

I just don't want to see and blue helmets killed by Israel. It'd muddy the waters and provoke cries of "disproportionate response."

But, those cries will come no matter what Israel does. Israel could get nuked but would be blamed for striking back with the same.

Hezziebolla is just setting traps for Israel and this was a work accident.
Or was it a training exercise to see how the UN reacts? Or was it a warning to the UN? Or was it a warning to innocent civilians?

Hmmm. My parish priest actually did a compare and contrast of the Christian God and Allah at Mass yesterday. Noted that we also believe God is Great, but they don't seem to have the whole Christian "God is Love" thing down at all.

It sort of fit with yesterday's Gospel from Luke Chapter 10:

There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test him and said, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

Jesus said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?"

He said in reply, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself." He replied to him, "You have answered correctly; do this and you will live."

But because he wished to justify himself, he said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"

Jesus replied, "A man fell victim to robbers as he went down from Jerusalem to Jericho. They stripped and beat him and went off leaving him half-dead.

A priest happened to be going down that road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. Likewise a Levite came to the place, and when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side.

But a Samaritan traveler who came upon him was moved with compassion at the sight. He approached the victim, poured oil and wine over his wounds and bandaged them. Then he lifted him up on his own animal, took him to an inn and cared for him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper with the instruction, 'Take care of him. If you spend more than what I have given you, I shall repay you on my way back.'

Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers' victim?"

He answered, "The one who treated him with mercy." Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."

BTW, our priest noted that the priest and Levite weren't neccessarily being completely heartless, just that if the victim were dead and they touched him, they would be ritually unclean and unable to enter the Temple for a certain period of time. Note also, as seen in other Gospel passages, that the Jews and Samaritans had some major differences withe ach other and didn't view each other highly.

I believe that Ben Hur noted that the very similar (from Mark's Gospel, Chapter 12) Christian version of the "Golden Rule" has some definite Jewish antecedent, from the Scripture and Hillel, which shouldn't really be a surprise.

One of the scribes, when he came forward and heard them disputing and saw how well he had answered them, asked him, "Which is the first of all the commandments?"

Jesus replied, "The first is this: 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone!

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.'

The second is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

The scribe said to him, "Well said, teacher. You are right in saying, 'He is One and there is no other than he.' And 'to love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself' is worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."

And when Jesus saw that (he) answered with understanding, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God."

The UN withdrawal should be forth coming and will find some way to blame Israel.

You mean to tell me the UN Piecekeeping Farce came out from hiding under their rock long enough to be attacked?

Wow! Looking for women, booze? Trading arms for gold? What the heck is going on here? What's the real story?

A U.N. official at the site of the explosion said the bomb was planted near a bridge on the road to Qassimiyeh. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Funny, AP typically uses this standard disclaimer when they're quoting someone in the governments of Iran, North Korea... you know, places where speaking to the media could get you, like, thrown in the woodchipper.

Ironic, since how many U.N. officials do you suppose were there at the site of this bomb that it would be so difficult to figure out who talked.

The UN has become the laughingstock of the world. No one really believes they can do anything real.

...shaken by the incident, fwench peacekeepers surrendered to a near by falafel vendor and his blind, three legged dog, offering fine wine and cheeses in exchange for an end to hostilities...

/meh... reaping what they sow.

“No casualties have been reported. Only damage to the vehicle.”

I bet that's reassuring to the poor schmuck driving.

In light of this news, can we still refer to them as a "Peacekeeping force"?

Or can we simply call them "targets"?

re: #4 MandyManners

Cry "havoc" and let slip the dogs of war.

I just wish that they would remember how to do this. Those in power seem more concerned about hurting their feelings instead of fighting them.

oddly enough I am OK with UN peace keepers becoming more engaged in this situation

Tis a shame that the UN can't fight back... Their 'peacekeeping' efforts alway end up in somone else's military intervening... What a waste...

Tomorrow's headline: UN apologizes for accidentally detonating Hizballah security devices.

re: #51 miamitech

oddly enough I am OK with UN peace keepers becoming more engaged in this situation

I hope you don't mean engaged in the same sense as those Dutch Troops during the siege of Srebrenica where they stood by and let all sorts of crazy atrocities happen, or the Belgian paras who got hacked up in Rwanda. How the hell can a group of paras fully armed with automatic weapons and explosives allow themselves to get hacked up by a group of cannibals with machetes?

From the link,

Security officials in southern Lebanon said two Tanzanian peacekeepers parked their jeep on the coastal road near the Qassimiyeh bridge to monitor the speed of U.N. vehicles in southern Lebanon.

Minutes after the two soldiers stepped out of the jeep, the
bomb exploded, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Monitoring the speed of U.N. vehicles began after four members of a Lebanese family, including two children, were killed in southern Lebanon on July 3 when a U.N. water truck lost control and rammed into their car. The incident enraged locals who demanded U.N. troops stop driving at high speeds.

UNIFIL = self-monitoring hall monitors = sitting ducks

re: #54 baconeatingkaffir

No I mean if they aint gonna fight or do shit they might as well be subject to getting blown up.

re: #50 SusanL

With the UN, it's more like: Cry "havoc" and let's sniff the dogs of war.

re: #53 Pickle

Offers to pay damages.

#54 baconeatingkaffir

There Euro Peons, they have been brought up to believe they are better than everyone else and no one in the world would want to harm them.

They probably thought they Hutus were just kidding

USELESS NATIONS = U.N. peacekeepers = CLOWN CAR

re: #2 Shug

I was thinking the same thing. Whenever anything happens, no matter where it is in the world, Israel is at fault.

I have a headache today...must be the fault of the Zionists! I stubbed my fault...it is the fault of those damned Zionazis...

...Of course all this is said from a "neutral" perspective of the UN.

Good thing the French are protecting Hezballah. They could use it especially with the forthcoming harsh UN response.

/sarc

The fighting in the north of lebanon is still going on but you would not know it by looking at the liberal MSM it seems they only care if the IDF kills goat humpers.

Um, according to Charles' link the Fwench had nothing to do with it: "Security officials in southern Lebanon said two Tanzanian peacekeepers parked their jeep on the coastal road near the Qassimiyeh bridge to monitor the speed of U.N. vehicles in southern Lebanon. [emphasis, realwest]

Minutes after the two soldiers stepped out of the jeep, the bomb exploded, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media."

Good thing they don't patrol at night or confront the bad guys... who knows what might happen then...

re: #65 realwest

Yeah I know I was referring to this:

[Link: www.jpost.com...]

Sorry for the confusion.

zzz...zzz...zzz
*waking up*
" uh oh. Israeli did it?... No? ... oh, so? "
*back to sleep*
zzz.. zzz...

If this little bomblet only did damage to the jeep, then they still have a lot of bombmaking skillz to learn from their brothers in Iraq. Maybe they aren't getting any of the "good stuff" (materials and trainers) from Iran just yet.

What does the UN do again? I forgot...

Oh yeah. Absolutely nothing but cause trouble.

Only in the UN would "Peacekeepers" be those who do nothing but make themselves targets.

What could those people be thinking when they go out, knowing they have little power or "permission" to fight back.

LEt mw propose three theories. Two will be from a sane perspective and one from a leftist-islamist perspective.
#1 The Hezbullah is doing this on purpose, the attack was well planned out. Their reason for this is clear. They want to drive MOST of the UN peace keepers OUT of the Litani valley, This will allow them to continue to attack Israel and launch rockets, eventually precititating another attack by Israel so the Leftists of the world can cry, and the Islamists have something to do besides seethe. Without their ability to attack Israel, Hezbullah is a lost.

#2 Hezbullah is doing this in preperation for the next Israeli attack. They are planting bombs and rocket launchers all over South Lebanon so they can attack Israel when the time comes, however in this case the bomb accidently went off when the UN jeep went over it.

#3 (This is the Arab street theory) This is the work of Mossad. They did this to make Hezbullah look bad! ;) They are doing it so that the UN will leave so that they can Again reoccupy Lebanon. Cuase when they originally left in 2000 it was all a false flag operation to lull the peaceful Muslims into a sense of false security.

re: #67 jayzee Oh yeah - that's Fwance for you. Other than some wines and some cheeses, what's Fwance good for?

I think this is a signal to the UN to withdraw their peacekeepers. Hezbollah is now fully rearmed and ready to go up against Israel again. Having the UN forces in the crossfire when they start lobbing missiles at Israel would keep them from getting close enough to kidnap Israeli soldiers.

test

I presume it's events like these that dictates that the U.S. doesn't deploy any troops with the U.N.

Hezbollah must not realize who it's messing with. The UN? Make 'em angry and they might... commission a study paper, or something. Hezbollah had better be afraid - very very afraid.

Tap-tap-tap - nope - Sympathy Meter's still reading zero.

“No casualties have been reported. Only damage to the vehicle.”

Too bad. Poor, poor vehicle.

When American troops get hurt or killed by roadside bombs planted by murderous terrorists, we are anguished and enraged by such acts and hope for the US troops to go after the bastards hard and to stop more roadside bomb plantings.

When UN "peacekeeping" troops get hurt or killed by roadside bombs planted by murderous terrorists, yawn. That what they get for not doing their jobs to PREVENT the Islamist terrorists from planting roadside bombs and typically blame Israel as usually.

re: #75 threecoloursblue
threecolorsblue
I believe there are US troops assigned in the Sinaie todat that are technically part of a UN mission. Thought about spending some time with them (and hopefully have visited israel), but went to afghanistan instead.

Maybe the truth is the tire on the truck blew out, and the Blue-weenies pissed their pants and ran screaming from the vehicle?

I think I see the point you are trying to make, but...the blue headed guys probably saw the bombs coming in the day before and said of did nothing. That's their job
