Hey, he’s just doing his job, providing cover for terrorists. It’s just like when the UNIFIL troops who filmed the kidnapping of three Israeli soldiers (all subsequently murdered) by Hizbollah then the UN stonewalled on releasing the evidence of this act of war abd war crime (murder of POWs) for nine months. It’s their job to run interference for terrorist swine, and Jan-boy is doing his job.

Israel must kill every Hizbollah fighter Zahal can catch and drive the survivors out of Lebanon for good. Then a NATO force can occupy South Lebanon until the Lebanese Army can come in and take over maintaining order. That will be Israel’s only chance for peace on this border in the future, and it will be Lebanon’s only chance for sovereignty and independence in the future. Otherwise Lebanon will become a puppet colony of Iran. Hizbollah has already been blathering about an Islamic Republic of Lebanon.

I stopped wondering why we have never heard a rational solution to anything from Egeland about anything. Mayhaps he would like to remove his coat and tie and do a bit of work that would dirty the hands…such as digging a ditch, feeding a child, or wiping Kofi’s … face?

Yes, Jan Egeland is the twit who criticises US relief efforts. Not just Katrina: the preceding tsunami prompted him to say that we were not giving enough money to UN efforts – while we had a carrier task force and support working there but the UN was still “studying the problem” to ascertain if relief was even needed.

What the F*** is Humanitarian Law? Is the UN going to send in the Humanitarian Police to arrest Olmert, and try him in Humanitarian court?

Is this UN spokesliar the same guy who criticized the US during Hurricane Katrina. If it is – he can go and suck eggs.

I always love that line that “there’s no military solution” to certain problems. On the contrary, military solutions are often available and most likely to be effective.

Since even this official concedes that Hezbollah is attacking Israel, he doesn’t seem to draw any conclusion from the fact that it put its headquarters in a residential area. Typical UN approach: it’s OK to shoot at Israel from behind civilians, but it’s a humanitarian outrage for Israel to shoot back.
