Rice refuses Lebanon "ceasefire" as Bush offers Leb "humanitarian aid"
they're all in a war-gasmic orgy in neocon wonderland: conquering the Middle East, aka the wanton destruction and genocide of Lebanon.

3. Let me get this straight Bush refuses to ask Israel for a ceasefire
and at the same time is giving humanitarian aid to the Lebanese? Bush could ask Israel anything he wants, that doesn't mean that they will do it. I doubt they will ask long as rockets keep on getting launched into Israel, they would tell us to pound salt. My concern is for the civilians on all sides including the Palestinians and that it may escalate to involve Syria and Iran. Which I think would make the Chimpinator all warm and fuzzy inside because then we would have our reason for going into Iran, to aid Israel.

Ambulances fired on by Israel, says Red Cross

Ed O'Loughlin Herald Correspondent in Tyre and agencies
July 25, 2006

ISRAELI forces pushed up to the edge of Bint Jbeil, a large town on Lebanon's southern border, yesterday as heavy fighting continued.

Thousands of Lebanese civilians are still believed to be in the area, trapped in their homes by Israeli bombardment. Dozens of Lebanese civilians had earlier been killed or wounded by Israeli aircraft as they tried to comply with Israeli orders to flee the area or die.

Israeli jets repeatedly bombed the area east and south of Tyre in the dark, with reports of eight civilians killed and six wounded.

The Red Cross in Tyre said that five of its volunteers and three patients were wounded when Israeli aircraft attacked two ambulances on Sunday night. The attack took place near Qana when an ambulance from Tyre arrived to evacuate three patients from the border town of Tibnin.

The drivers said that two guided missiles were fired at each ambulance. Three patients - a woman, her son and grandson - were all re-injured, the son losing his leg to a direct hit from one of the kinetic-energy anti-tank missiles.

Ambulance drivers - until Sunday night the only people able to drive out into the killing zone - report that the roads around Tibnin are strewn with wrecked vehicles and uncollected bodies. The Red Cross has now been forced to abandon all attempts to rescue wounded from Tibnin. ...
