| #9 This should be a replay of the "boy who cried wolf". Since every little thing results in a mass casualty situation - mostly BS, then next event should in fact be a mass casualty event. Thousands dead and rotting, the pictures will be terrible - but my point is they have already been photoshopped that way. The world is close to not caring anymore, cull the herd. |

| #8 Should be "World willingly duped..." or "World willingly and enthusiastically duped..." |

| #7 not even close to the bazillion civilians we killed in Iraq. Mostly in Abu Grahib, I think. I read it in the NYT, quoting the Lancet, so you know it's true |

| #6 I disagree. The world MSM wasn't 'duped'. They were in full knowledge that the numbers had been cooked and repeated the lie deliberately. |

| #5 As a consequence of the false information, he added, the IDF was considering setting up a "response team"... Taking a que from the Obama administration's Bureau of Expectation Management. |

| #4 As a consequence of the false information, he added, the IDF was considering setting up a "response team" for future conflicts whose job would be to collect information, analyze it and issue reports as rapidly as possible that refuted Hamas fabrications. Israel, the US, and other western, law and truth respecting organizations need to recognize that this is the battlefield. This "response team" is a pathetic first step, but at least it is a step. It sure isn't going to get inside the OODA loop of the MSM or Hamas. I'm still thinking about this, but my respect for the utility of truth and international law in the current war is rapidly diminishing. I am coming to the conclusion that we should not be bound to either when our enemies are not. |
