So what you're saying is you're not an expert, weren't there, didn't conduct any sort of investigation and that's that right? OK. I just wanted to check.

So the IDF is one of the most advanced militaries in the world. They use guided munitions acurate within less than half a metre. Their airborne devlivery targeting systems use advanced C3 systems in constant communication. They make almost exclusive use of guided artilery munitions, many being laser designated. Their bombs are laser and GPS guided, with pilot control up to the point of impact thanks to the use of digital imaging in the weapons package. They are in a constant state of planning and training, developing and reviewing battle strategies on all borders. They keep a constant vigilance on the Lebanese border, noting and marking every item of military value.
Yet this same military resorts to hand drawn maps of a position that they once held, and has been mapped again and again for the past 2 decades? Does this same military fail to see the UN flag flying from the post during the 14 bombardment that preceeded the air strike? Does this same military have pilots with such poor vision that they fail to notice a giant 10m "UN" painted on the roof of the building? Or for that matter does this same military recruit extremely poor sighted operators for it Drones as well, given that one was observing the strike as well? Does this same military some how miss or ignore the stream of communications from this post? Does this same military forget the website posting of Hezbollah troops movements posted from the observers? Hmmmm...
Sorry but I find the excuse of inconcievable incompitence and stupidity, combined with freakishly improbible coincidence hard to swallow... but hey it worked for the IDF before in covering up criminal acts... |
