After four UN 'peace' observers got killed by Israeli artillery, some more information has been revealed, with a few tell-tale statements.

"To our knowledge, unlike the vicinity of some of our other patrol bases, Hezbollah firing was not taking place within the immediate vicinity" of the base that was hit Tuesday."

Aha, how did they know that? Maybe because they were the forward observers of Hezbollah?

"A spokesman for the peacekeeping operation department, Nicholas Birnbach, told the Sun yesterday that when the U.N. official told reporters that there was no Hezbollah activity within three miles of the U.N. camp, she was referring only to the Monday incident and not to the time period of several days earlier described in the UNIFIL observer's e-mail."

Actually very interesting. How do you know the Hezbollah didn't have any well-hidden bunkers near-by your position, with Katjuscha launchers popping up like daisies, only to be razed by IDF artillery? Seems to me like the classical situation where proximity to the pigs makes you wallow with them in the same mud. Also see that picture for your edification.

Actually, the whole thing smells like something that the UN under-'secretary' general for 'peacekeeping' operations is named after - Lutefisk. And putrid and rotten at that.

And if the UNIFIL doesn't want to be targeted by the IDF, they should dissociate as quickly from the Hezbollah as possible, even if it means getting out of the area.

Because else, to all on-lookers, it might seem like they serve as human shields for the Hezbollah, or as artillery observers. And as usual with such situations and internationalist and leftist agencies, they'll draw up the Willy Wiener Clinton defense: "I smoked, but I didn't inhale.".

Just that in this case, somebody was still 'smoked' afterwards, or at least fuming, when they were found.
