Finally a CNN reporter tells the truth that Hizbollah is NOT firing from

[jpkenny]

the areas Israel is striking. Campbell, I believe is the reporter's name, is reporting LIVE from Beirut (not from Israel). He says that it is not true that Hizbollah has been firing missiles from the areas that Israel bombed in Beirut. They are really just targeting civilian areas and killing lots of civilians. Wonder how Wolf and crew will attempt to spin this.

1. Trust me ... it's the last you will ever hear of it......

[JNelson6563]

33. or him for that matter

buh-bye Mr. Reporter man. :hi:

[CherokeeDem]

2. Better yet...

How long do you think this guy will be reporting for CNN if he doesn't stick to the script?

[jonnyblitz]

3. uh oh, he will soon be replaced. I bet phones are ringing. nt

[JackNewtown]

11. The Megaphone army will bombard CNN

With letters and phone calls calling for the reporter's head. The reporter will probably be reassigned to cover Guam.

[jonnyblitz]

15. why that was straight from the protocols.

:sarcasm:

[JackNewtown]

39. I was worried for a moment haha nt

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

26. What's with this "megaphone" thing? Why did it suddenly become a keyword?

Please enlighten.

27. You can make more noise with a megaphone.

And the noisy wheel get's the oil (attention).

40. Israeli government deploys troops to the internet

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/printFriendly/0,,1-3-2289232-3,00.html

Is there any country in the world so obssessed with pushing propaganda at all levels, from internet forums to the big media organizations? I understand all nations seek to influence public opinion but Israel takes it to an extreme that has no peer. What is Israel afraid of? You don't see the Palestinians having such a global operation, they let the facts do the talking...
Israel needs to accept there are valid reasons why only one of the 190+ countries in the world is "pro-Israel"...

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

42. That's REALLY stupid

What keeps people from using this exact same program for spreading the opposite opinion? (Nudge nudge wink wink)

[Canuckistanian]

41. Since this

8. Let us not forget the U.S.S. Liberty back in the 50's..

wasn't Isreal by attacking this ship trying to blame Egypt? My history of that event is dusty but I did read a fascinating story about it. Isreal is not beyond "false flag operations"...

[EST]

12. 'Bout ten years later--

And the truth is still being covered up. In my opinion, one of the few Great Sins that the Dawg was supremely guilty of has to be his lack of interest in going after the crooks when he had a chance. It might well have led back to the late sixties and that particular piece of terrorism.

[EVDebs]

19. James Bamford's version in Body of Secrets says Israel was

taking care of business in the Sinai by killing Egyptians (read 'war crimes') and since the NSA's USS Liberty was listening in, the Israelis attacked it, ostensibly to cover their tracks...which didn't work.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident

Please note, I support Israel's right to self defense and respond to Hezbollah rocketing. I can't explain this stupid assault on an virutally unarmed US vessel.

[Behind the Aegis]

23. Let us not forget...

...that story you are parroting is not quite the truth. And, while Israel is not "beyond false flag operations," I think that NO group is!

[EST]

10. Careful...

I pointed this out a couple weeks ago and my nomex flight suit is still smoking. Maybe it was the time of day or sumpin'.

[uppityperson]

17. seems like mood has changed here, doesn't it?

Stuff posted a couple weeks ago and flamed or gotten rid of now are staying and being added to. Guess people can look, listen, think, change their minds, eh?

[EST]

34. The mark of intelligence, imho,

is the ability and desire to re-examine and re-evaluate one's core assumptions and conclusions. There's no proof that I should think I am the smartest, today, I'm ever gonna' be.
If there were a single demonstrative difference (with some notable exceptions) between the two major political parties, this would be it.

[sutz12]

5. Whoops! That was for the European media.

:sarcasm:

[madrchsod]

6. launching missles from an urban area?

interesting...seems the launch angles would be really difficult along with the range from beirut to israel. i`ll go with the 95% chance that rockets are not being fired from anywhere in beirut.
campbell will "never work in this town again"

[snappyturtle]

7. Is it me? I was raised with the Christian-Judeo ethic....more

or less and now I find myself aligning more with the ethics of the Arabs????? Either I have changed a lot or my background has skipped a beat and is off track now in 2006.

[Sinti]

9. It's not you - they both claim some kind of religious/superior ethics

and neither really have any. People who wear their religion as a cloak seldom have much left for their heart.

[Disturbed]

13. Israel is devastating Lebenon and killing civilians in order

to force the Lebanese to turn against Hizbollah. It seems to be having the opposite effect.

[Sinti]

14. If they were bombing us to make us turn against some militant

organization living among us I wonder what we would do.

[malaise]

25. It is having the opposite effect

Arab Foreign Ministers are meeting in Lebanon as I type. Last night in Syria, the annual christian festival was celebrated with a candlelight march in support of Lebanon and Hizbollah. It was the first time that Muslims and Christians marched together at this festival.

Why Israel and the US believe that the people of their region don't understand the hegemonic plans of US and Israeli, only they know. These people have watched the slaughter in Iraq and seen all the US bases and embassy being built in their lands. Both the US and Israel will learn that these are not the unsophisticated indigenous people that Westeners wiped out centuries ago. 6,000 Lebanese were slaughtered in the 1982 invasion and people have memories.

[Just Me]

16. PNAC/AIPAC are possessed by their own monsters. eom

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

18. I saw that report

He did say that no rockets could reach Israel from the areas of southern Beirut where the bombing is taking place. He said that the buildings and sections of city being bomed were known headquarters of Hezbollah. But he also said no Hezbollah leader in his right mind would still be there and only civilians were getting clobbered.

Watch this CNNI Aussie reporter kick some ass.

I don't get domestic US CNN - only CNNI... and I have actually been impressed by some of the coverage.

22. Could you provide a source for your claim?

I have watched almost nonstop most of the war reporting on CNN and I've never heard any reporter say that.

[cali]

24. This is ridiculous folks

and pretty ugly. Mostly though, it's astonishingly ignorant. Israel has never claimed that the reason they're bombing Beirut is that H'zbollah launches attacks from that city. They've always claimed that they're trying to take out H'zbollah's infrastructure in parts of Beirut, chiefly the Southern part, where H'zbollah has headquarters. H'zbollah hasn't fired any rockets that can span the distance from Beirut to Israel.

I have repeatedly condemned Israel's attack on Lebanon. I deplore the bombing, but the ignorance in this thread is just absurd. I want to take a moment to call out both the poster who fervently wished to see Israel bombed back to the stone age, and all those who blithely passed by that charming post. Wishing harm on civilians, either Lebanese or Israeli,or anyone elsse is beyond the pale.

Israel is indeed to be condemned for invading and bombing Lebanon, and for the death of hundreds of civilians, the grave damage to infastructure and more, but this thread is just pathetic in its ignorance.

[EST]

37. Ignorance is no excuse

for not having an opinion.

[Lerkfish]

38. it might have been blithely ignored, literally, due to being on people's

ignore list. That doesn't mean they tacitly approve of it if they don't see it.

[Igel]

28. Nobody's said otherwise.

Congratulations, you've identified the strawman award winner for the day.

Nobody's said that missiles are being fired from Beirut.

Nobody.

It's a big scoop, but what's in the scoop, well, it's not something I want to step in.

[Major Hogwash]

31. I wished I could have seen this on CNN for myself.

They haven't shown too much of the war from Lebanon's point of view lately.

[Constitution]

36. Thank you for posting the truth.

Also, I like the picture you are using. That's whom I'm backing for Pres in 08.
