When did Hezbollah become Guerillas?
At 10:11am on 8/14/06 Robert Novak came onto Fox news and stated that Israel could not defeat the well trained Hezbollah "Guerillas" and said Americans have a view of Terrorists as Trenchcoat Bombers, when they should realize that they are well funded and well-organized and highly technologically proficient.
At 10:15am the AP writer Kathy Gannon, in a piece called "6 Guerillas killed after Cease-Fire", stated that Civilians were defying the unlifted Travel Ban and were moving back into their Southern Lebanon homes. Her statement on their bravery was, "For the first time in a month, no Hezbollah rockets were fired into northern Israel; still, the Israeli government advised residents who left the area to wait before returning home." This statement implies that Israel is still and always has been hostile to civilians even though Olmert ordered his troops to only act in "self-defense".
She notes that Olmert took full responsibility for the Military Actions and claimed the removal of a state within a state (Hezbollah from Lebanon) was achieved by the UN Chapter 6 Cease-fire Resolution and then offered his condolences to the families of the victims of the war.
She moves on to note that Lebanon, Israel & UN officials met on the Israeli Lebanon Border to assess the withdrawal of Israeli forces and the deployment of the Lebanese Army into the Southern region of Lebanon.
She notes that the Cease-fire is holding but that 15 civilians were wounded when an ordinance detonated amidst their return to their homes in the devastated area.
Kathy states that Israeli forces are staying put until the 2,000 UN forces are "boosted" by the 15,000 International forces...and then the statement is made..., "Israel also would maintain its air and sea blockade of Lebanon to prevent arms from reaching Hezbollah guerrillas, Israeli army officials said."
When did they become guerillas again? I thought they were Militant Islamic Extremist Terrorists that caused this Conflict by raiding... Even though Kathy calls them "Guerillas", she goes on to state that Nasrallah then papered Southern Lebanon with leaflets in a telling bit of Victorious PROPAGANDA, "Hezbollah distributed leaflets congratulating Lebanon on its "big victory" and thanking citizens for their patience during the fighting, which began July 12 when guerrillas killed three Israeli soldiers and captured two others in a cross-border raid."
Now, the main question that should be asked is... Were 3 or were 8 Israeli soldiers killed in the Terrorist raids that day?
CNNs on-line war Timeline, while calling these Hezbollah combatant pirate raiders "guerrillas" states that on 7-12-06, "Hezbollah fires a pair of rockets into northern Israel from southern Lebanon, and guerrillas capture two Israeli soldiers during an attack along the Lebanese border between the Israeli towns of Zar'it and Shtula. Eight Israeli soldiers also die in fighting that day. In response, Israeli ground, air and naval forces attack at least eight Hezbollah bases and five bridges in southern Lebanon."
Which is it, media?
Did 5 or 8 die in the ensuing Israeli retaliation?
Were a total of 8 or 11 or 13 Israeli soldiers killed on 7/12/06?
Our Media seems to fall into the same wording of Confusion and Misdirection.
Now, in the Propaganda War, Hezbollah seems to have dismissed its own Katyusha Missile strikes and lessened its actual Terrorist Crimes of MURDER & HOSTAGE TAKING. It has also dismissed the fighting of the first day AND THE FACT that the soldiers who were kidnapped have not been returned home safely to this day. Why would they do this if not to bolster its position that the Israeli retaliation was so disproportional as to be Terroristic (to Lebanon's civilian people and to World-wide Palestinian sympathizers)? Why would CNN be so unclear at the same time? Do they want to leave the American people in a state of gray confusion in a time of black and white? Or is the Media being held Hostage by PIRATES?
Regardless, Hezbollah Militant fighters are not "Guerillas". They might use guerilla tactics, but the Hezbollah Guerilla Militia that attempted over 4,000 counts of Mass-Murder are TERRORISTS and the United States Government has Declared War on TERRORISM; they are Felons and the United States Government doesn't allow Felons to own Firearms.
Is it Ok, then, if everyone goes around and attempts Mass-Murder? Is this not a Recipe and PRECEDENT for Disaster?
My Personal Judgment is simple: THE MEDIA NEEDS TO TAKE AN OATH TO REVERE FACT TO GUARANTEE ITS PROTECTION FROM PIRACY AND TO GUARANTEE BOTH MY & YOUR FREEDOM!
Thank you,
