Yeah, now pull the other one: All the terrorists in Gaza are saying, “Nope, we didn’t do it” when accused of kidnapping the Fox reporters.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip Aug 16, 2006 (AP)— The wife of a kidnapped Fox News cameraman said Wednesday she’s been told by Palestinian officials her husband’s captors acted on their own, without support from militant groups.
Major militant groups in Gaza have denied involvement and no public demands had been made.
[…] McNaught said she has been told by Palestinian officials that the kidnappers appear to be rogue gunmen without ties to any of the political groups in Gaza.
Amazing, isn’t it, how many “rogue gunman” there are when responsibility is to be assigned?
Watch the AP spin and lie: Pay close attention to the description of the cease-fire.
UNITED NATIONS Aug 16, 2006 (AP)— The United Nations says the 2,000 U.N. peacekeepers now in southern Lebanon can start overseeing the withdrawal of Israeli troops and the deployment of the Lebanese army very quickly if all the parties agree.
But the U.N. hopes 3,500 well-equipped international troops can reinforce the U.N. contingent within 10 to 14 days to help consolidate the fragile cease-fire and create the conditions for all Israeli forces to head home, Assistant Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Hedi Annabi said Tuesday.
The Israeli army withdrew part of its force from southern Lebanon on Tuesday, and a senior U.N. official said it is possible to complete the Israeli withdrawal and Lebanese deployment in a week or two.
[…] Even though the artillery, guns and rockets have generally fallen silent, Hezbollah has warned that there is the potential for renewed fighting as long as Israeli forces remain in Lebanon.
So, apparently, Hezbullah firing mortars at IDF troops, and sending gunmen to kill Israeli soldiers, does not count as part of the cease-fire. But Israeli forces remaining in Lebanon are a reason to end it.
Got a big one in Beirut: Apparently, all that bombing in the last day of the war was successful.
The IDF said on Wednesday that a senior Hizbullah commander was killed just hours before a ceasefire took effect this week between Israel and the Lebanese terror group.
Soldiers killed Sajed Dewayer, head of Hizbullah’s Special Forces, during a massive Air Force strike on the Dahiya district in south Beirut.
Hezbullah, of course, denies it. In other news, the sun will rise in the east and set in the west.
Re: Fox in Gaza. I think that Islamic fascists are starting to learn from Seattle. If you deny that any organized group was involved, then clearly this is just a few madmen, and not part of any trend of barbarousness.
