Siniora Asks International Media to Transmit Pictures of Israeli Atrocities. Which Is Kind of Like Asking Us to Keep Making Fun of Carter.
When Lebanese Prime Minister Siniora talks about Israeli crime, we usually just kind of let him get away with being hysterical because he's an impotent and pathetic crybaby whose country is occupied - minimally - by three different armies. But obviously, we can't let this part pass without comment:
"I hope all the international media will transmit this picture to every person in the world so that it shows this criminal act, this crime against humanity that Israel has committed in this area and every region of Lebanon." Siniora was speaking as a fragile UN-brokered truce to end the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah entered its seventh day.
Regardless of what other problems there are in his life, one thing that we think Siniora can rest assured about is that international media can indeed be trusted to transmit anti-Israel pictures (real or not) all over the world. Here we'd say something like "at least someone in Lebanon is on Siniora's side", but everyone knows that obviously Reuters works for Hezbollah, not Siniora. Then again, since Siniora made Hezbollah part of the Lebanese government, maybe in a way Reuters works for him too.
Besides, the last time Siniora accused Israel of crimes, it turned out that he didn't know that the number 40 (as in "forty civilian deaths") is further to the right on the number line the number 1 (as in "Lebanese officials are shameless liars who lied that there was a forty-person massacre when in fact there was only one tragic death"). So forgive us our skepticism about his intellectual or moral credibility.
