#1 This doesn't even move the surprise meter for me.
When I was in Baghdad in 2004, I was told by more than one US Officer that they were killing "many more Iranians than Iraqis" in the shooting that was going on.
Most of the Iraqis I talked to in Baghdad blamed the bombing of the middle school in Jan 2004 on the Iranians. They said that Iraqis wouldn't target children.

#2 In 2004, Imperial Sock Puppet? They've been busy little beavers, those Iranians.

They said that Iraqis wouldn't target children.
In my ignorance, that sounds of a piece with, "Muslims wouldn't do such a thing. They aren't Muslims." After all, when the Sunnis and the Shiites were warring in Iraq, there were plenty of children from both sides kidnapped, tortured and killed, right?

#5 ION, FOX > NASRALLAH, etasl. > report claims that Lebanon-based Terror groups fired over 4000 KATYUSHA + other modfied unguided rockets into ISRAEL killing 40 people. That averages to 100 rockets fired per casualty. However, same report also indics that rocket ranges have been improved to 45 miles which effec places Tel Aviv, etc. cities-towns and DIMONA nuke reactor in target sights.

ONE OF THESE DAYS LEBANON'S TERROR GROUPS ARE GONNA GET HOLD OF COLD WAR SOVIET NUCLEAR OR "DUAL-USE" [Nuke-Conventional] MORTARS + ROCKET-TUBE ARTY???
