Freedom of speech? Where?

But the Lebanese government just falls on Hizbollah to do that for them.
They're corrupt and waste money while someone else is left to pick up the pieces.

Here's some more atrocities of the day:

Not really...the Lebanese Government has made some good progress of late. The problem is the PM simply doesn't have the resources to flush Hizbolla from the system.

Oh, and he'd be dead within the week...just like his predecessor.

What they cannot do or are allowed to do is very telling.

And the slants....

How do like this one? In response to much negative commentary about the lack of urgency evacuating Americans in Lebanon.


BEIRUT, Lebanon (CNN) -- U.S. Marines poured off military ships Thursday to help rescue Americans from Lebanon.
Some 40 Marines helped families, children in strollers, tourists and the elderly onto landing craft to whisk them to a warship off the coast of Beirut.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Poured implies a deluge of perhaps thousands of Marines... Forty is actually one raindrop that evaporates before it can quench.

Well "pour" in this case was like a little stream of Turkish coffee

Speaking of the media during this conflict, I really like Nic Robertson from CNN getting a personal tour from members of Hezbalah of some of the damage in Lebanon. Hezbalah so used CNN and got some good propagana points from that piece. If i had to hear that Hezbalah terroist say "look Israel is only targeting our children" one more time i was gonna puke. And of course Robertson never called him out on anything.

Maybe CNN will get a tour from Al Qeada in Iraq, and kiss thier ass too

Skippy, a good rule of thumb is to not insult your terrorist tour guide
