Also note the non-denial denial. Israel said their Willie Pete weapons comply with international law. It didn't mention usage. |

UN Slams Hezbollah for Hiding Among Civilians
July 24, 2006 9:50 p.m. EST Ryan R. Jones - All Headline News Correspondent Larnaca, Cyprus (AHN) - United Nations humanitarian chief Jan Egeland Monday harshly criticized Hezbollah for using Lebanon's civilian population as cover in its fight with Israel. Speaking to reporters following a visit to Beirut, the AP quoted Egeland as saying, "Consistently, from the Hezbollah heartland, my message was that Hezbollah must stop this cowardly blending ... among women and children." Egeland deplored not only Hezbollah's tactics, but also the fact that the terror group would boast over putting civilians in such danger. "I heard they were proud because they lost very few fighters and that it was the civilians bearing the brunt of this. I don't think anyone should be proud of having many more children and women dead than armed men," he said. While in Beirut Egeland also condemned Israel over what he called a "disproportionate" use of force that constituted "a violation of international humanitarian law." The Fourth Geneva Convention, however, does not preclude military strikes against civilian areas illegally used as cover by enemy combatants. "The presence of a protected person may not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations," reads Article 28 of that document." http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7004318050

I do not beleive that you can actually support the theory that Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, or SAUDI ARABIA actually think that we will invade them. At least in the next 10 years.
