Kofi Annan: Anti-Semitic Liar

You, sir, are a goof.

And you, sir, are an anti-semite and a liar.

An apparent discrepancy in the portrayal of events surrounding the deaths of four unarmed U.N. observers in Lebanon threatens to unravel Secretary-General Annan's initial accusation that Israel "deliberately" targeted the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon.

A Canadian U.N. observer, one of four killed at a UNIFIL position near the southern Lebanese town of Khiyam on Tuesday, sent an e-mail to his former commander, a Canadian retired major-general, Lewis MacKenzie, in which he wrote that Hezbollah fighters were "all over" the U.N. position, Mr. MacKenzie said. Hezbollah troops, not the United Nations, were Israel's target, the deceased observer wrote.

The full email, and of course a lot more, at the link to Michelle's.

Damnit, she is thorough. How the hell does she do it?

PS: It occurs to me that a phrase I've been hearing -- a "UN stabilizing force" -- is a three part contradiction in terms, or, chemically speaking, a trioxymoron.
