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.

- 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.

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.

“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!

Heh, Kathy’s got one of those “see no evil” filters on her computer!

Like I said, the mind of a child, capable of rationalizing anything away, short of a knife to the throat, and by then it’s too late to have an epiphany.

Unless it appears on DU or MoveOn or Kos, I guess Kathy the Communist won’t find it “credible.”

That said, I looked at the links provided by sanity and by severian.

The link provided by sanity is to ST’s post of July 30, which I certainly do remember reading when she first posted it, because she had that dismissive comment about civilians always dying in war, and I commented on that at the time.

I read through the post to find ST’s evidence about Hezbollah hiding weapons among civilians. I found one link, to an Australian paper called The Sunday Daily Sun. Clicking on the link, I come to an article headlined “Photos that damn Hezbollah.” The first para starts, “This is the picture that damned Hezbollah.” Unfortunately, I cannot offer any comment on what I saw in the picture, because there WAS no picture.

On to the next example of “evidence.”

It’s a link provided by Severian to an article in the New York Sun about a letter published in a German news publication by a Shiite from southern Lebanon who wrote that after the Israelis left in 2000, Hezbollah came and built a school over a bunker where they had buried weapons.

The New York Sun writer also says that he checked with the editor at the German paper about the authenticity of the letter writer’s identity, and he was told that the editor had never met the letter writer, that the writer did not want to be contacted, and that, although the editor thought the letter writer was probably telling the truth, he could not be sure.

I marvel at the fact that these two links are what you submit to me to support your claim that I am ‘flat-out lying’ when I say that there is no evidence (perhaps I should say “no credible evidence” in the light of what you have shown me) that Hezbollah hides weapons among civilians.

Is it possible, ST, that even you — as dug in to your position as you are — might be able to agree that these are somewhat less than convincing support for your argument?

The letter-writer, who identified himself as Dr. Mounir Herzallah, said he was a Shiite from southern Lebanon who had lived there until 2002. After the Israelis withdrew from the area in 2000, he recalled, Hezbollah moved into his town, dug rocket depots in bunkers, and then built a school and a residence over those bunkers.

The letter went on: “Laughing, a local sheikh explained to me that the Jews would lose in any event because the rockets would either be fired at them or, if they attacked the rocket depots, they would be condemned by world opinion on account of the dead civilians. These people do not care about the Lebanese population; they use them as shields and, once dead, as propaganda.”
