- The fallout from Qana
  Posted by Billbar from Salon
  The carnage, which comes 10 years after Israeli forces killed more than 100 civilians in Qana during Operation Grapes of Wrath, prompted Human Rights Watch to rush out a two-page statement accusing the Israeli Defense Forces of war crimes in advance of a longer report that will be published later this week. Responsibility for the deaths rested "squarely" with the Israeli military, HRW said. It was the latest product of a bombing campaign that the IDF has waged in Lebanon over the past 18 days, leaving hundreds of people dead, the vast majority of them civilians.

- opportunity scoffers
  Posted by Billbar from Salon
  You don't get much more Washington Establishment than Richard N. Haass, who was Bush's first-term State Department policy planning director and now leads the Council on Foreign Relations. And he apparently finds Bush's position laughable. Literally. Peter Baker writes in the Washington Post that Haass "laughed at the president's public optimism. 'An opportunity?' Haass said with an incredulous tone. 'Lord, spare me. I don't laugh a lot. That's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. If this is an opportunity, what's Iraq? A once-in-a-lifetime chance?' "

- Deadly Israeli airstrike sparks fury
  Posted by Billbar from Yahoo News!
  An Israeli airstrike Sunday killed at least 56 Lebanese, mostly women and children, when it leveled a building where they had taken shelter. The attack in the village of Qana brought Lebanon's confirmed death toll to more than 510. Throughout the day, workers pulled dirt-covered bodies of young boys and girls — dressed in the shorts and T-shirts they had been sleeping in — out of the rubble of the three-story building.

  The deadliest attack yet from Israel with its campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon happened on Sunday as Israeli missiles hit several buildings in a southern Lebanon, killing at least 56. Most of the dead are children and this is being called the deadliest attack in 19 days of fighting in the recent violence across the Israel-Lebanon border between Israel and Hezbollah.

- The "hiding among civilians" myth
  Posted by Billbar from Salon
  srael claims it's justified in bombing civilians because Hezbollah mingles with them. In fact, the militant group doesn't trust its civilians and stays as far away from them as possible.

France pledges 1,600 more troops for Lebanon
Chirac was obviously challenged by Italy's offer to command the troops. Whatever works!

No Hezbollah at Qana. All those is south Lebanon are terrorists. Israel has lost any moral authority it had in this battle.
