Sunday, April 10, 2011 - quick hitters - the "I" Edition

1. I Want To Make A Correction - I want to correct one thing I said in my last posting about about the attack on the school bus. The bus was not hit by a Qassam missile, but by a Kornet laser guided anti-tank missile.

Critical difference.

To a large degree, when the Hamas terrorist murderers fire a Qassam, they point it toward Israel and hope that (a) it makes it to Israel (though they really could not care less if it lands in Gaza and kills or wounds some of their own populace - after all, these are the guys who fight from hospitals, schools and mosques and have made human shields into an art form) and (b) that it hits something "worthwhile" like a hospital, building or school.

On the other hand, an anti-tank missile is capable to being aimed at something - like, gee, I don't know, a tank.....

Here is a link that tells more about this Russian-made missile. Note in particular this comment:

"The missile had started development in 1988 as a modular, universal system able to engage any target from a mix of platforms using a reliable laser beam guidance system that was simple to use." (my emphasis)

So when the Hamas terrorist murderers say that they didn't deliberately target a school bus, they are just proving themselves to be lying bastards (again).

Just for fun, let's see if you can tell the difference - hint - one of these two images is the actual school but that was attacked:

Were you able to identify what was what? I thought so.

2. I Wonder - Where Is The Outrage? - as I asked in the post from last night - where's the outrage over the deliberate targeting of a school bus? Pretty muted, to say the least - JoeSettler: The silence is deafening

But you can count on this type of utter nonsense - Turkey condemns 'disproportionate' IDF violence in Gaza. I'd like to say what I really feel, but I promised myself I would not use rampant profanity.

I wonder what the Turks would do if the Kurds did something like that to them - I;'m sure they invite them in for a nice steaming cup of Turkish coffee and a passing around of the hookah, all while singing the Turkish equivalent of Kumbaya.

(ok - this is a parody)

Maybe the Turks should read this - The art of disproportion - Israel Opinion, Ynetnews.

Or better yet - this - KNK: Turkish Army is committing war crimes in Kurdistan and Evidence of Turkish Army Killing Kurdish Villagers in Hakkari. - World Politics - Zimbio. Go mind your own damn business.

8. I Can't Wait - Julian Assange: We Ignited the Arab Revolutions. Now We Will Rock Israel - what is with this guy - he thinks he ignited the Arab Revolutions? There no a jail cell that can hold him (not because he can escape, but because his ego is that large). How is the defence to the rape charges coming along, by the way?
