"An hour ago, a horrific massacre took place in Houla village as a result of the intentional Israeli bombardment that resulted in more than 40 martyrs," Siniora told a meeting of Arab foreign ministers in Beirut .

Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora said Monday that one person was killed in an Israeli airstrike on the southern village of Houla, not 40 as he had earlier reported .

Lebanese media reported 65 survivors were pulled from the rubble, more than half of them children .

in an earler version of that thread, now edited out it said this . .

Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora said Monday that one person was killed in an Israeli airstrike on the southern village of Houla, not 40 as he had earlier reported .

"The massacre in Houla, it turned out that there was one person killed," Siniora said . "They thought that the whole building smashed on the heads of about 40 people . . . thank God they have been saved . "

Siniora had earlier told Arab foreign ministers in Beirut that the attack "was a horrific massacre . . . in which more than 40 martyrs were victims of deliberate bombing . "

Siniora said he had based the initial tally on unspecified information that he had received . He offered no other explanation for the error .

Note that Siniora never said why the death toll dropped from 40 to 1, or where his information came from . How can you "mistakenly" count 40 dead people when there is only 1?

Notice also how the news changes, and the propaganda is neither addressed nor when pointed out is apologised for .

476810 2006-08-08 02:13:00 1. No such thoughts enterered my mind, I was merely engaging in conversation, a silly one but harmless.

2.My best?, Hell no, My best is killer. This isn't it.

3. One of my rear teeth just broke, sending wave after wave of the sharpest pain known to mankind through my face and into my brain, and the "stream" beside my house has just broken its banks and is once again filling up my yard like a swimmiung pool.......So....hows your day?

476812 2006-08-08 02:56:00 Still, Im having a far better day then those in The middle East wo are having missiles fall on them, Id take rain anyday, much softer. Metla (12)
476813 2006-08-08 03:10:00 Why respond to something that doesn't make sense?One could ask why post something that makes no sense in the first place. I responded so that it could be clarified, to understand the meaning behind it.

Still, Im having a far better day then those in The middle East wo are having missiles fall on them, Id take rain anyday, much softer. True that. Can't say it would be the best thing to happen to ya. And then these TV reporters make it look like THEY are the ones inconvenienced by being flown there and shouted a hotel with meals, just for a 5 minute speel on the 6 o'clock News

Funny thing about toothache, SWMBO forgets what its like while they are yelling orders at what must be done coz you're home. :p

476814 2006-08-08 03:18:00 SWMBO would just tell me its my own damn fault :lol: , Tooth has been giving issues for the better part of a decade and sucked up about 2 or 3 grand, Now it decieds to break in half while I was eating a pie.....I still attempted to eat the cream donut but the pain that was coming through with every bite was getting just a tad silly.

Anyhow, Last time I consulted SWMBO she was insisting I somehow repel the flood.....Still working on that one, Might fire up the workshop and see if I can throw together a magic wand or something.
