Audacity of Truth
"Change" You Can Believe In:
"Nixon didn’t try to do that. They couldn't control (the media). They didn’t try. [...] What the hell do they think we are, puppets?"

The UN ceasefire deal on Israel and Hezbollah
Lots of discussion about the UN ceasefire deal (read Kofi Annan’s ‘give peace a chance’ speech here) going on in the blogosphere. Olmert has signaled that he’s ok with it, and the AP is reporting today that Nasrallah has said Hezbollah will as well.
Several worrisome things about this: This deal doesn’t require Hezbollah to disarm. It asks for Israel and Lebanon to work out a compromise where Hezbollah would disarm. Like that’s going to happen. There isn’t anything forceful in the resolution about Hezbollah unconditionally releasing the IDF soldiers Hezbollah captured, either. Also, doesn’t this ceasefire deal effectively recognize Hezbollah as a “state”? If so, that’s worrying.
Olmert’s support amongst Israelis is already slipping, and once word of this ‘ceasefire agreement’ spreads, it’s likely to go down even more. Can’t say as I blame them.
Captain Ed calls the ceasfire deal a ‘mixed bag’ – while Rick Moran gives a much less charitable view of it.
On a semi-related note, check out the oh so ‘helpful’ “Green Helmet Guy” – the director’s cut:

KATHY! Like a flea on a ticks ass – one waitin’ on the other ta git’er done, both non-contributors – hippity hop mob stop…….
“The letter in the German newspaper shines a clarifying and sobering light on a strategy that, like terrorism itself, is used precisely because it works. In an age in which many organizations and even some countries are prepared to sacrifice their own civilians in the service of killing ours — and are prepared to do so by situating their weapons, even weapons of mass destruction, in places of human habitation….”
DO YOU DENY THIS TAKES PLACE!? Take your time. Take a couple years if you like. And then take no more!
Easy people, we are beginning to sound like KOS and DU here, no pun intended, but lets bring some sanity back into the discussion.
I followed the link and it looks like the sun herald de-linked or removed the photos from the article for some reason. Nothing was added or editted to show why they removed them.
But there is more than one report coming out that Hezbollah is hiding and firing from civilian positions.
Try this link from LGF HERE, they seem to have gotten pics up of what was removed from the article at the Sun.
I do not understand why you seem hell-bent on defending Hezbollah though Kathy. They are listed as a terrorist organization, their goal is to destroy Israel and whether you want to believe it or not, they started this recent escalation because they invaded Israel, killed and kidnapped their citizens.
I can’t remember where I read it, but someone had an excellent quote that went something like this:
What would happen if all the terrorists, muslims, arabs, put down their guns……there would be peace in the Middle East.
What would happen if Israel put down their guns……They would be annhilated, destroyed without a thought or care.
Just for additional showing, IDF has videos of rockets being fired in residential areas, hiding the trucks the rockets are launched fom in residential areas…ect.

- Sev – ST – sanity – Forest…. we’re all wasting our time. If the truth doesn’t fit the Marxist rhetorical world view, they just clap their hands over their ears, or cover their eye’s, and sing lalalalalalalala. They can’t handle the truth. It’s all about regaining power, and they’ll stop at nothing. Lie’s are fine, as long as it’s for the “cause”.
- Bang
- In the mean time, while those of us who recognize those hard truths, that we’re dealing with the new “fascism”, are wasting time even listening to Leftist propaganda, ( they want to distract us as part of the suicide pact agenda ), the situation stands at an impasse thusly:
- The Lebanese cabinet was supposed to meet today to discuss, among other things, the disarming of Hezbollah. The Hezzi’z said no way as soon as it was announced, and surprise, surprise, the Leb’s cancelled the cabinet meeting.
- The murdering outlaw thugs are not going to accept any real change in the ground conditions until they’re thrown out on their ass’s, because they know that would be the dagger through the Jihad’s heart. We know, they know it, the UN knows it, everybody, including Italy and France knows it. Everyone is just stalling, trying to avoid the inevitable.
- Bang
Late to the game, but I believe that Kathy is Jewish if she says so. Why shouldn’t I? There are tons of self-loathing Jews in this country, with one organization recently featured on the Factor, Medved and Prager (I think). Most Jews in this country vote for whatever Dem is nominated, rather than any Republican. Can you say, “Streisand”? It’s sad, that with their recent history, any Jew would not look on these events with at least a bit of suspicion. One of Kathy’s statements, regarding her father’s teachings not to judge entire groups of people, seem silly considering how THIS group, Hezbollah, has lobbed around 4000 missles/rockets into Israel in the last month. And I’m a little hazy, but Israel never invaded Lebanon for no reason back in the 80’s. But in any case, the saddest part is that folks like her insist on seeing only what they want to see about these radical groups, like the chucklheaded Fox dude, who went to Iraq to preach his steve-like message of peace, and got a beating and a bullet for his troubles. I truly wish that the leaders I support were just as the left says they are, and we could just step away and all the troubles would end. But my weed just ain’t that good, and reality is just too insistant. Where do you get YOUR weed, Kathy?

I was waiting for that one, lol. I really thought Severian was going to say it; but I guess you guys are not 100% predictable.
Well, stereotypes such as the self-loathing Jew seldom spring up without some basis in reality. The really disturbing thing is that Kathy purports to be a school teacher. Yup, that’s right, she is educating, or one would more likely say indoctrinating, our children. Doesn’t that give everyone a warm fuzzy feeling.
“…Two road diverged in a yellow wood
and I, I took the road less traveled by
and that has made all the difference.”
Kathy, indoctrinating 7th graders in the summer school session of a Bronx middle school.
“Two roadS diverged in a yellow wood” (not road)
(even English teachers engaged in indoctrinating their students into the political ideology of Robert Frost make typos!)
How unoriginal. Maybe you should try following the yellow brick road in order to find your way back home, Kathy. Just click your slippers together and see what happens. Or maybe the role of the scarecrow would be more fitting.
This thread has run its course and will now be closed.
