Timeline
Powerline asks a series of hard questions about the collapse of the building in Qana.
And this posting from Powerline about a rather huge poster of Condi for a presumably "spontaneous demostration."
What people must begin to understand about the Arab world is that lies dominate, and almost everything is carefully orchestrated for the gullbile, no let me amend that to: for the "useful idiots" of the western media.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
Heaven knows there are lots of 'useful idiots' reporting tonight on cable tv.
Im looking forward to listening to talk radio tomorrow....and hear from friends like Larry Elder.....Al Rantel...and Dennis Prager.
I would be interested to know if there are any liberal talk radio shows that lean towards Israel.
Like the dodo bird, I doubt they exist, however, I would like to be proven wrong.

Robert,
Among other things, I am reminded of the first Gulf War and the terrible incident in which a U.S. percision-guided bomb killed about 300 mostly women and children. They died in an underground shelter that U.S. military planners had presumed was one of Saddam’s command-and-control centers. It had in fact been such a center. But just before the war, Saddam converted it into an air raid shelter – one his military men avoided. This incident got huge amounts of media coverage, and it proved to be a huge propoganda coup for Saddam.
As to that Condi poster, I am reminded of how -- during the Muhammad "cartoon riots" -- there was a ready supply of Danish flags to burn during the violent demonstrations that "spontaneously" broke out throughout the Middle East. Do you suppose the Condi poster came from the same source that provided all those ready-to-burn Danish flags?
