Since when did the mainstream media care about "viable sources" and "reporting" the truth? The US mainstream media is just one big part of corporate America, vested interests are what interests the mainstream media, ie advertisers and expansion.
So is it your contention that they would report such a story even if it was baseless? While I agree they report based on interest much of the time, this is more than a bit of a stretch. To simply cosign this without confirmation will ultimate do more harm to their interest than good.

But Israel's assault on Hezbollah was a disaster because they didn't appear to even dent the group.
I think this is something that gets overplayed. Israel tried to bomb Hezbollah from the air. And while I agree, Israel underestimated Hezbollah’s fortitude, Hezbollah did suffer some setbacks.
If Israel were willing to press a ground attack and suffer the casualties, I’m sure the results most likely would have been different. Israel knew their public wouldn’t have condoned a ground assault based on the premise that ignited the conflict but make no mistake. If it becomes clear that Israel has no other choice, I believe the outcome would be quite different.

I try and not take sides in the Israel Palestine debate ... a) because I think it doesn't help, b), what do I know, I live in Australia, and c) these folks have been revenging revenge upon revenge for 60 years and I'm thinking they're so used to it that it's just normal and they know no better and even maybe get a kick out of it, given they just seem to want to keep on fighting.
But the one thing I can't get past is, and ol' Peace has referred a bit to it above: what choice does Israel have? What can it do other than defend itself?
They haven't tried non-violence yet, which worked for Gandhi ... but I dunno. I can't see that Israel has any choice other than to attack back those that attack them. YOu can question their methods, perhaps, but I dunno if you can question their reasons. I think.
malcolm xx said this in post #1 : Seymour Hersh says Bush and Israeli gov planned Lebanon war months in advance. Any incident , no matter how small would give Israel reason to start war with Lebanon to start war with Iran. How many knew this? Why conservative media has ignored this fact?
lol - yeah, bush payed them 10,000 dollars to kidnap those soldiers.
