    Just because a people lack the heavy equipment (i.e. tanks, and F-16s) to militarily advance their cause does not automatically mean that their cause is just.

    The body starts to stiffen after 2 to 6 hours. I cannot really seem to find lapse of time between collapse and rescue attempts, but in your quote it is stated that the rescue was started very late, so there seems to be plenty of time for rigor mortis to start affecting the body.
    If they died in the collapse in the morning, and the press (kept properly away from the inside) and 'rescuers' came shortly thereafter, the bodies wouldn't be stiff.

    Anyone remember 'Pallywood'? The palestinians pulled this kind of stunt (on a smaller scale, but much more often), and I would not be surprised at all if Hezbollah did this.

    I provided information that there was no hezbollah activity around the base at all during the day long incidents that ended in the deaths , so no tactical neccesity whatsoever .
    Sorry, but when was the last time you went to the UN posts in Lebanon? Oh, wait, you didn't? You don't say. Really, tribesy.

    Exactly. If you saw a photo of a German kid looking at an advancing Sherman, does that make the kid's side right?
    Robert Fisk is widely regarded as a leading expert in the Middle East - most informed politicians on all sides read his reports for the real lowdown. Feel free to check his credentials.
    Fisk? 'The real lowdown'? Please.
