“Cry me a river…”
So 56 “civilians” died after a building was struck by the IAF?
A building in a neighborhood from which Hezbollah has fired 150 rockets at Israeli civilians, Israeli civilians deliberately targeted by the subhuman simian assholes of Hezbollah.
DJ Allyn, ITW Supplies the video
A building that remained standing, mysteriously, for 8 hours before it collapsed.
What His Majesty wants to know is how on Earth Hezbollah only managed to shove 56 civilians, dead or alive, into the building before they blew it up to create outrage. They’re usually much more efficient in their Pallywood Productions. Are they slacking off?
Oh, and just in case you were wondering:
Nope. No change there. No change whatsoever.
Meanwhile, Israel decides to suspend their self-defense for 48 hours in response to the manufactured outrage and the predictable response from the rest of the anti-Semitic, objectively pro-terrorist world.
Didn’t take too long for Ehud Olmert to hand back the balls he’d borrowed, did it?
UPDATE: DJ Allyn, ITW and LC Stargazer suggest in the comments that maybe this ceasefire is nothing but a “ceasefire” designed to give the IAF a well-deserved rest while plans for the next phase are made. Something that needed to be done anyway, only now they can do it with bonus points for offering a magnanimous respite in the long overdue ass-beating of Hezbollah.
From a military standpoint that makes absolute sense. His Majesty admits to being a bit of a “glass half empty” sort of Emperor on this issue after 60 years of watching Eretz Yisroel always being forced to stop short of getting the job done, and we hope and pray that our pessimism is wrong in this case. In which case, of course, we owe an apology to Ehud Olmert, an apology that we shall offer without reservation and great joy.

I felt the need to add a video for you. Nothing like some good audio/video to illustrate a point…
July 30th, 2006 at 8:55 pmThanks, Dave, most excellent footage as well!
July 30th, 2006 at 9:03 pmRichar North over at EUReferendum has an interesting post on some of the photos coming out of Lebanon.
July 30th, 2006 at 9:14 pmI need to get one of those meters…..easy to read, too.

It was only a matter of time and in war, timing determines who wins or loses.
Hezzybalooo waits until the Lion of the Desert is out of the picture to make their move.
Trying to follow the labyrinthine coalitions and reformations of the asundry Israeli political parties is near impossible, but…wasn’t Olmert part of an earlier conservative party that went left only to be absorbed back to the right, kindof?
Correct me if I’m wrong here, but wasn’t he a journalist somewhere?
Color me NOT.SURPRISED. too…
July 30th, 2006 at 9:33 pmEUReferendum truly has some disgusting photographs and footage of those corpse-tossing ghouls. The dead kids have been posed so much they were granted honorary Screen Actors Guild membership.
If their bodies could get frequent groping miles they’d end up in the Kennedy Compound on the Nantucket Sound being used as coasters for Ted’s mint juleps.
Freakin’ GHOULS!!!!!
July 30th, 2006 at 9:35 pm[…] Background: Here, here. […]
July 30th, 2006 at 9:37 pmYou noticed that too, sig? Hell on the evening news it looked like a freakin’ trash bag commercial..locks in freshness, seals in flavor sort of thing. You said it all and said it well…ghouls.
July 30th, 2006 at 9:41 pmLooks like. OTOH, maybe Israel is just pretending to go along with it while they do a resupply and refit of the IAF. If the ragheads can call a truce every time they run out of ammo, why can’t the Israelis pull the same trick? A 48 hour ceasefire? Hardly seems like much of a concession.
July 30th, 2006 at 10:40 pmAren’t you all jumping to conclusions? This is just a lull to give them something to think about.
July 30th, 2006 at 10:49 pmStargazer and Dave: I hope you’re right. You very well could be. I suppose I’m just a little bit jaded after 60 years of Israel striking back only to be stopped short of fixing the problem for good, courtesy of the “international community.”
July 30th, 2006 at 11:00 pmIf the boys at Powerline are right, then the “demonstration” and the 30-ft banner of Rice
July 30th, 2006 at 11:02 pmso:
appeared within hours of the building being struck. Possibly before the structure actually collapsed.
Last I looked, a professionally-produced banner that size takes a bit of time.
It makes me to wonder it does, it does.
I found the simultaneous demonstrations in Beirut AND Gaza a little suspect. Found it curious that both swarms chose to trash UN buildings…..
I smell a staged “tragedy” here, with UN complicity.
July 30th, 2006 at 11:32 pmI think the ‘Give-a-Fuck-O-Meter’ moves to much…
July 31st, 2006 at 5:50 amI once fleetingly thought as you do, brother. And perhaps it does — a little…. but it must move some to show that it is functional. It wouldn’t be nearly as funny without the movement.
But I do get your point.
Just consider it negligible “background noise” from the general environment
