QFN ==== YE OLDE QUAGMIRE-FREE NEWS


Exclusive to FReerepublic
PICTURES YOU MAY NEVER SEE IN THE MAIN-STREAM MEDIA


========= 'Sahlav' military post, Lebanon =========

At the 'Sahlav' military post in Lebanon.


Israeli artillery fire targets southern Lebanon from a position in northern Israel


========= ex-Hizb'allah position =========

Hizb'allah position being destroyed by Israeli army forces, August 7, 2006.


========= Hizb'allah terrorists captured =========

Video released by the Israeli Defense Forces, Monday Aug. 7, 2006,
shows Hizb'allah terrorist Hussein Ali Suleiman. Suleiman acknowledged his part in the raid
on an Israeli army patrol July 12, that ignited the current conflict with Lebanon.

If the MSM reported this, then the MSM would not be able to blame Israel
for Islamic terrorist attack worldwide.


Hizb'allah terrorists led blindfolded in an undisclosed location.

The Israeli army said on Sunday it had captured the Hizb'allah terrorists
who took part in the abduction of two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border raid last month,
sparking the conflict with Hizb'allah. Will you see this on the MSM?


Apartment block that was the target of Saturday's Israeli commando raid,
the target Hizb'allah "safe house". Five Hizb'allaheym were grounded.


Israeli soldier sings along the Israel-Lebanon border
as they return from their one-week operation in southern Lebanon.


Israeli soldiers along the Israel-Lebanon border.


========= Israel =========

========= Kibbutz Kfar Giladi =========

In Kibbutz Kfar Giladi near the Israeli-Lebanon border,
Israeli soldiers killed by rocket attack August 6, 2006.
At least 15 Israelis were killed and dozens wounded.
The MSM, UN and EU are silent as usual since they unerringly support the terrorists.


========= Kiryat Shmona =========

In Kiryat Shmona, schools and homes damaged by Katyusha rocket, August 7, 2006.


========= al-Aramsha =========

In village al-Aramsha, Israeli-Arabs grieve after learning a rocket fired from southern Lebanon
killed their two daughters. The MSM does not count the deaths here because to the
MSM, the ONLY "civilians" that exist are terrorists in Lebanon.


========= Tarshiha =========

In Tarshiha, an Israeli-Arabic village, terror during the incoming,
then two people were murdered, and many injured, all by Hezbolah-Lebanese-UN Iranian-made rockets.


========= Haifa =========

In the northern Israeli coastal town of Haifa,
yet another terrorist Hizb'allah rocket attack killing three people
dozens more casualties. The MSM? They are in Beirut helping their terrorist-friends.


In Haifa, Israel, suddenly leaving the funeral of others murdered by terrorists,
Israeli Arab Christian mourners run from the church,
and seek cover during a terrorist Hizb'allah rocket attack.


========= Mrar =========

In the Druze-Arab village of Mrar, Druze mourn for those murdered
by Katyusha rockets launched from Lebanon's Hizb'allah,
including innocent 26-year-old Israeli Druze, Manal Azam. See her in the painting?
Was this covered by the MSM? No. Was the UN concerned? No. [sound of crickets]


========= Aita al-Shaab =========

In Aita al-Shaab, Israeli artillery shells land.


========= Beirut's southern suburbs =========

In Beirut's southern suburbs of Hizb'Allah, August 7, 2006.


========= Beirut Lebanon =========

In Beirut Lebanon, overnight Israeli air raid, precisely made.
The neighboring commerce area was not even touched.


========= Hadath =========

In Hadath, on the outskirts of Beirut, Lebanon,
foreign journalists stand on a hill, to get "just the right picture"
to help terrorists whom they love and work for.


In Beirut Lebanon, the Casino Du Liban bridge.


In Beirut Lebanon, Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Siniora gives a press conference, pulls a "Muskie"
of feigned croc tears.
Some say he is crying because he was exposed by
terrorist Hassan Nasrallah who admitted over televison:

"I said that we would abduct Israeli soldiers,
in meetings with some of the main political leaders in the country (Lebanon).
I don't want to mention names now, but when the time comes to settle accounts, I will.
"


In Beirut Lebanon, Reuters was caught manipulating several pictures to show
more smoke, more planes, etc. The manipulated images are shown on the left.
To get over this mess exposing its pro-terrorist agenda, Reuters has removed
all the other image of the photographer, Adnan Hajj. No doubt, Reuters will be less obvious
about their antiSemitism and hatred for America in the future.


Another image by the photographer, Adnan Hajj, with the same type of smoke
unlike anything shown previously on "Gotta See This".
FReeper comments here - Reuters admits to more image manipulation


========= Debbin =========

In Debbin, near the southern town of Marjayoun.


========= Blat =========

In the southern village of Blat, along the Litani River,
an Israeli airstrike


========= Bekaa Valley =========

In Hallaniya, eastern Bekaa Valley,
a burning fuel truck that was struck by Israeli missiles


========= Chiah Beirut =========

In the Chiah Beirut suburb, a Shiite-Hizb'allah region,


========= Tyre =========

South of the port city of Tyre.


========= Tyre =========

Indiscriminate Hizb'allah rockets designed to murder any civilian they can.
Here the outgoing rockets from Tyre will wreak havoc in Israel
and then in retaliation in Lebanon.



In al-Hosh, north of Tyre


In Tyre, south Lebanon, press photographers risk danger to get the
"perfect shot"; that is a shot which ignores all buildings NOT taken out
in retaliation for terror.
Only by such selected, fabricated, cropped, and enhanced pictures [ie. "media magic"]
is the MSM able to fool even the most savvy of Americans
[e.g. New York Times, falsified stories (Boston Globe), falsified pictures (Boston Globe and this week, Reuters)]


========= Masnaa =========

In Masnaa, at the border between Lebanon and Syria.


==ELSEWHERE ======================

========= Baghdad =========

In the al-Sheala district of Baghdad.


========= Sadiquiyah =========

In Sadiquiyah, Iraq, with Marines of the 3rd Battalion.


========= Kandaksai =========

In Kandaksai, Afghanistan, Afghan children look at U.S. soldiers
establishing a new base along the Pakistan border.
ONLY because they were liberated by the United States do
these young boys have freedom to meet.
Previously they would have been seen only as Taliban
sex-slaves.
Under the Taliban children were prohibited from even flying a kite.


========= Kabul =========

In Kabul, at the Kabul river.


In Kabul, Afghan girls and children attend classes.
ONLY because they were liberated by the United States do
these girls have opportunity to learn. Previously, school for girls was banned by the Taliban.


========= Infrared Andromeda (M31) =========

Infrared Andromeda - Andromeda (M31) is a massive spiral galaxy 2.5 million light-years away,
twice the diameter of the Milky Way. It has 1 trillion stars, compared to 4 hundred billion for the Milky Way.
Two smaller companion galaxies, NGC 205 (below) and M32 (above).

How can we help make success in the War for Enduring Freedom against Terror?
Thanks in advance is you post your thought, picture, analysis, update,
correction, observation, and anything else of interest.

The photos you have for "========= Beirut Lebanon ========= In Beirut Lebanon, overnight Israeli air raid, precisely made. The neighboring commerce area was not even touched." are part of a MSM (Reuters?) fraud. this building and area was bombs weeks ago, not yesterday. The woman is also apparently a photographers plant.

In a couple of the Beirut pics it looks like Green Helmet Man (sans helmet and clean shaven all over) with the fire hose, and Hezbo Granny walking amongst the rubble a week after that building was destroyed (despite MSM caption saying it was an "overnight" raid by the evil Joooooos).

Does the blood on the building in the photo with the caption below look staged (or doctored), possibly with paint?

Hizballah’s rocket offensive against Israel is orchestrated from Syrian town of Anjar ...
located at the Anjar base of the Syrian Army’s 10th Division
opposite the Lebanese town of Az Zabdani. It is manned by Iranian and Hizballah officers,
who take their orders from a Syrian military intelligence center in Damascus
to which Iranian Revolutionary Guards intelligence officers are attached.
It is headed by a general from one of Syria’s surface missile brigades.
This joint command is provided with the most up-to-date intelligence
and electronic data available to Syria on targets in Israel and IDF movements.
The timing and tempo of Hizballah rocket strikes are set according to that information.

Az Zabadani,
Other names: Zebdani,Zibda-ni-,Zabda-ni-,Zabadani,Zabdani,Zebedani,Zebda-ni,Zibdani,Az Zabada-ni-

More than this, it is very dangerous. An outward sign of a relaxed threat condition like that invites attacks.
