SHONGA, Have you looked at John’s C/V. very impressive, so why is he pointing the bone
At poor old Kofi Annan? With all that Military Training & Obedience to your Great President/s, John, is it not, “Yours to do and die, & not to reason Why?”

Hezbollah, you inform us, is a Community within the larger community of Lebanon, we have similar organizations here in Australia, and many more in your country under the banner of religious organisations & clubs under a different banner. None use force directly, but many back weapons manufactures in indirect ways.

At http://corpwatch.org/article.php?id=13944 we read that “ Israel is to get U.S. Bunker
Buster Bombs! Question is, are these with or without Nuclear War Heads?
http://www.ucsusa.org/global_security/nuclear_weapons/nuclear-bunker-buster-rnep-animation.html

Yes, I did post these references elsewhere this week, but on these forums one can be completely ignored in the rush to get ones own opinion across.

John, welcome to online forum, and I hope you are not deterred buy the ignorance of this writer of Military Matters, and Diplomacy. I often think the UN is a great waste of money.Your are right, if Nuclear weapons are used in this fray, not only those in the direct battle
Will suffer, the winds blow four ways, and mostly towards the East, thus spreading the fall out to India and further.

You are correct in bringing Kofi Annan to task, being the leader of our referee, the United Nations, perhaps he should resign, and letter a better fairer man/woman lead.

Israeli Defense Force HELPLINE

Suffering tragedy fatigue? Here's a little RELEVANT humour which I hope OLO will tolerate.

Its from Potfry a famous US media guru (and mate of mine) at http://potfry.blogspot.com :

Potfry has uncovered a transcript of the phone conversation between members of the doomed UN outpost in Lebanon and the Israeli Defense Force, as they desperately plead with them to stop bombing so closely.

IDF: “Hello, you’ve reached the Israeli Defense Force Helpline. All of our operators are busy helping other bombing targets. Please hold. Your call may be monitored for quality assurance purposes.”

UNIFIL Employee: “Hello!?! SOMEONE?!”

(Music: Kylie's "I could be so lucky.."

UNIFIL Employee: “GOOD GOD, SOMEONE PICK UP! This is the UN calling. That last bomb was way too $%#(@ close!”

IDF: “Please continue to hold. Did you know that you can get most of your questions answered online? Just visit the IDF website and click on "Why are you bombing me?"

UNIFIL Employee: “FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, HELP! SOMEONE-“

IDF: “Hi, this is Hanah. How can I help you?”

UNIFIL Employee: “Oh, thank God! I’m calling from the UN post near the border. The bombs are getting closer and closer. Please radio your planes and tell them we’re here.”

IDF: “OK, calm down. Did you say you were with the UN?”

UNIFIL Employee: “YES! We’re near the-“ (LOUD EXPLOSION)
“JESUS CHRIST! DID YOU HEAR THAT!”

IDF: “I did. Is that your TV? You should turn it down-”

UNIFIL Employee: “IT’S NOT MY GOD DAMN TV YOU ZIONIST IDIOT. THAT’S YOUR GOD FORSAKEN WAR PLANES BOMBING THE &$(# OUT OF US!”

IDF: “OK. I’ll see what I can do. But first, a couple questions.”

UNIFIL Employee: “What?”

(continued below)

Second Part (from above)

IDF: “How long has UNIFIL been in Lebanon?”

UNIFIL Employee: “Huh? I have no idea. Why are you-“ (LOUD EXPLOSION)
HOLY %&#$ WHAT THE-“

IDF: “The correct answer is 28 years.”

UNIFIL Outpost: “YOUR #$&# MOTHER $%%# GOATS YOU $#&# JEWISH $&#$ GIVE ME SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP-“

(EXPLOSION)

UNIFIL Outpost: 'ARRGGH, IT BURNS OK, OK 28 YEARS.”

IDF: “That’s much better. Are you ready for Question 2?”

UNIFIL EMPLOYEE: “Look, you sound like a reasonable woman. Please. I’m worried about-" (EXPLOSION)

“SWEET JESUS OK, OK, QUESTION 2.”

IDF: “In those 28 years, how many times has UNIFIL prohibited Hezbollah from crossing over into Israel to meance Israelis?”

UNIFIL Outpost: “UH. UM. TWICE?”

IDF: “Wrong answer.”

(EXPLOSION)

UNIFIL OUTPOST: “HOLY #$@& PIERRE YOU ARE ON FIRE DROP AND ROLL”

IDF: “The correct answer is never.”

UNIFIL OUTPOST: “KOFI ANNAN IS GOING TO HEAR ABOUT THIS WE ARE PROTECTED BY UN CHARTER. YOU CAN’T DO THIS”

IDF: “Hold on….My pilot is asking if you are the building with the large UN painted on the outside.”

UNIFIL OUTPOST: “YES YES YES THAT’S US SWEET MOTHER OF GOD, TELL HIM-“

IDF: “Yes, he sees you. Thanks for calling the IDF.”

UNIFIL OUTPOST: “Huh? Are we safe now? Can I-“

(EXPLOSION)
