The same dead bodies are "rescued" over and over for the cameras

Don't visit the link unless you can stomach seeing two different dead bodies being carted around, taken on and off ambulances, pulled out of rubble several times, and generally paraded around for different photographers of different press agencies, for a period of hours and hours.

If you are a child in an adult body, then pictures bother you. Meanwhile, this is war. Killing in massive numbers is necessary because of why this war exists. Either one fights responsible or one kills everyone with little regard. Israel did not have to start this war. They could have continued doing what they always did when Hezbollah kidnapped soldiers - trade. Or Israel could have invaded. Instead Israel has decided to target everyone - a free fire zone. Those are facts.

Those pictures are for the children among us. Meanwhile adults are more concerned with what this war means for the future. Adults are concerned how this war affects the living. Those dead bodies are nothing more than trophies. Yes, that is what an adult does when viewing war pictures. Were the trophies done for justifiable reasons, or do they exist because of people who subvert the purpose of mankind.

Take pictures for hours. Does not matter to adults. Adults demand numbers, justification, and justice again those who would even arrange the massacre of 5,000 Palestinian women and children. Current war is not justified. It exists because leaders in Washington would rather labeled everyone in black and white - good and evil. Then fix all problems by only killing evil. A 'big dic' mentality is alive and well. Those bodies of innocent civilians are nothing more than trophies. Take all pictures necessary - and then take more. They are only trophies to those who would rather attack everyone else. They are propaganda for the children in adult bodies. If you are an adult, one picture or a million makes little difference. Instead you demand facts - such as the smoking gun.

Civilians are attacked because Israel will not even put troops on the ground. What cowards they are. If Israel only wants to eliminate Hezbollah, the Israel's strategic objective would have been clear - a complete invasion. Instead, Israel has declared anyone inside selected areas of Lebanon as evil. Does not matter who they are. They must be killed - trophies for a mantle. Nothing emotional about that fact. Israel cannot know who they are killing - no ground spotters. Israel just attacks anything in a free fire zone. What results are trophies. Take pictures to hype adult sized children. Learn from those pictures what Israel's strategic objective is; think like an adult.

I have followed this story and it appears to be a mistake on the part of the post's author, who misunderstood which timestamps are transmitted by the wire agencies.

Following that post, in another story, there was a suggestion that the building did not collapse at midnight, when it was bombed, but at 8am. I read the whole story very carefully and figured out that it was most likely an error on behalf of an Israeli Brig. Gen'l. (yay me)

Sadly this did not prevent a series of righty blogs from running with the theory that it was a setup by Hezbollah all along. Hamas is known to perpetrate such things. But the rumor got generated by the wings of the butterfly, and a bit more reality went down the truth hole.
