I think someone's misplaced their sense of humour.

What this thread really need is a couple of UN observers to observe the peace. If things get hot, Coffee-a-nun can issue a statement condamning the verbal violence.

That should do it.

Ofcourse there's always the risk for the observes be insulted by collateral verbal abuse

bozon... I know it's asking a lot but can you have one of your airstrikes go off a little and hit the UN building in NYC?

I would sure appreciate it... thanks in advance.

karaya,

the "Sniper in nam" was an obvious reference to mrblack right from the start.

Seems Mac is following your guidelines that if you don't agree with the posted material: put your hands over ears and start singing out loud... we've been over this already, haven't we?

Collateral? Wonder what part of 'stop shelling we're UN observers' the IDF didn't understand?

Now wouldn't it make a great news story if the U.N. observers were found to be helping/supplying hezbollah...

The UN is playing ref, someone "has to be the loser, and get the blame", right?

UN peacekeepers in south Lebanon contacted Israeli troops 10 times before an Israeli bomb killed four of them, an initial UN report says.
The post was hit by a precision-guided missile after six hours of shelling, diplomats familiar with the probe say.

Israel troops 'ignored' UN plea

Well it's either deliberate or wantonly negligent - take your pick.

Yes, I'm sure that this is the first case negligence (Friendly fire) we're ever seen in war.

Yeah.. maybe Tom Clancy could write the script and they could make a movie too!

Does that somehow lessen the impact? Besides, not all friendly fires are the same. At some point it sounds like this one crossed over from accident, to negligence or incompetance. And perhaps even it was deliberate. Sliding scale of culpability.

I would like this incident to be investigated by a neutral third party.
