The gift from the US that keeps on giving. :(

6. Isn't that the truth

Thank goodness I watch foreign news programming and come here to DU for my news because you are right, we never will see this on our tv's.

2. What kind of bomb was that??

Did they use bunker busters or what? That is a deep crater. I don't know anything about bombs (thank God) but I can only imagine what they used. Scary....:scared:

10. Could also have been secondary explosions

of things stored there. The builind was described as "inside the Hezbollah's security perimeter in the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon"

3. GOOD! I hope that they call the Israelis and their arms

dealer (the US government) on this.

5. Recommended: #3 Have sites been tested in Iraq, as well? NT

7. I highly doubt it

who is running the show? Why would the US test for DU then have to admit to soldiers and the population they were exposed and that is why they are sick? That have been dicking around those eights sick soldiers for two years now.

8. 9/11 air pollution

it was mentioned and everyone had to know it was bad. But the facts were suppressed and not a big deal and somehow even the people on the ground never got an idea from anyone except their own common sense and knowledge.

9. So What - DU is not used in aerial munitions.

This is just fear mongering and photo op stuff. Its also interesting to note that at least it was acknowledged to be "inside the Hezbollah's security perimeter in the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon" which give it credibility as a military target.

It going to be very interesting if the real time footage is ever released by the IDF of some of these strikes. The media reports would indicate tremendous secondary explosion in and around Beirut. There has been acknowledgment that IAF bombing did destroy significant amount of rockets in the Hezbollah inventory. That could be the source of the reported secondaries.

It looks like a desert scene. Total devastation. The new Guernica.
