So Sorry

“U.N. observers in southern Lebanon called the Israeli military 10 times during a six-hour period to ask it to halt an airstrike before their observation post was hit, according to details of a preliminary U.N. report on the incident. Four U.N. observers were killed in the bombing Tuesday.”

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert expressed "deep regret" Wednesday over the killings, and dismay over U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan's accusation that the air strike was "apparently deliberate."

Hello? He was dismayed that Kofi Annan used the word, “Apparently”?  He should be happy that Mr. Annan didn’t use the word, “Very”. After all of the evidence I’ve read and heard and considering Israel’s track record…I’m ready to believe it. Mr. Annan was being kind.

“Apparently” means, in this case, that all the evidence points to a deliberate attack, either that or a terminal case of idiocy on the part of the Israeli’s. Me, I’m glad to hear that someone was outraged enough to tell people just what he felt at the news of the murder of four UN employees. Mr. Olmert should have been as outraged. Those UN employees worked for him as well.

Anyone think that 4 “deep regrets” will bring the UN observers back to life?
