#21  Anything witha UN logo on it should be considered a legitimate target.

My thoughts precisely, mcsegeek1 .

#20  Did not get Sh** for pulling out of Gaza, and Now I AM pissed. Curse Palestine.

#19  You all realize how hard it is to get a late night taxi in Gaza?

#18  The UN troops would not last long in the US I think. To many people know the truth of what they really are.

#17  mcsegeek1 has the right idea. Speaking personally, the first time I see a blue helmet driving down an American street...

#15  Fox is saying the UN "observers" are (finally) being pulled out.

#14  Good thing the "observers" are being pulled out, otherwise Israel should hit every UN post, installation and troop convoy.

#13  oops --> Heres a link.

#12  Did you see the linked video about the 'Israli massacre of Picnicing Palieos'? Wasn't this proven to be due to a Palistinian minefield?

#11  The UN could care phueching less about uniformed casualties, they never have. I'm surprised the statistics are even available. No surprises, the UN is accountable to no one.

#10  Isn't the use of protected facilities and equipment, like, say, f'instance, hospitals and ambulances, for military purposes a war crime?

Oh, I forgot, this is Hezbollah. They can't commit war crimes.

#9  No, I don't think they were stolen, or even borrowed. They could've been copied, however. That fits, yes?

COnsioder, from the UNIFIL report posted elsewhere, that - As at 30 June 2006, UNIFIL comprised 1,990 troops, from China (187), France (209), Ghana (648), India (673), Ireland ( 5 ) , Italy (53), Poland (214) and Ukraine (1).

Since the establishment of UNIFIL, 246 members of the Force have lost their lives, 79 as a result of firings or bomb explosions, 105 as a result of accidents and 62 from other causes. Firings or mine explosions wounded a total of 345.
(The report says they've been clearing minefields.)

I suspect a lot of the blue helmets are just trying to do their jobs. It's just that their jobs are so ..........

Ahh, I'm not trying to make excuses, just trying to see another point of view. I'm glad my kid went to Iraq as a Marine, and not to Lebanon as a UN "Peacekeeper"!

#8  Right out of the Paleo playbook...

#7  Bobby, That's 2 ambulances in the video. Both stolen? Yea, right.

UN usually employs locals for some of its "services". Am pretty sure that UN knows what is going on, and either it sees no evil, or tacitly condones it.

If you noticed the segment where the more remote ambulance "tries" to make an N-degree turn... it looks kinda fishy. It looks more like it is trying to block the street, to function as a shield.

#6  This is on Youtube. I'll be shocked if this runs on MSM TV, not that I watch much MSM news.

#5  It's pretty plain those are not 'blue helments' This is SOP for terrorists. It's shocking that is is available at all on TV/ It will not convince the TRANZIs and EUropeans just how wrong headed they are for supporting these scumb as 'freedom fighters'. The State of Israel has full rights to attack or arrest all UN personel and destroy all UN instalations and equipment with my full belssings. This crap is sickening. The UN must pay.

#4  Could've been stolen. Did the UN Report one of its' vehicles missing?

Or mebbe they just loaned it to someone?

#1  The things that make you go hmmmmm.

It looks like the first one in the ambulance really was wounded, though.
