http://www.moqavemat.com - an Iran-based website run by the Hezbollah terrorist group - is running this picture (above) of what it claims is the Israeli ship it hit with a missile last month.

Now look at the Royal Australian Navy’s picture below - as published by Defence Industry Daily - of its sinking of the decommissioned Australian destroyer-escort HMAS Torrens off the coast of Western Australia in 1998 . We were told at the time the Torrens was deliberately sunk by a torpedo fired by one of our own submarines, the HMAS Farncomb.

Should we now think that we were in fact attacked by Hezbollah - or is this just the latest proof that Hezbollah will lie and lie again for propaganda gain?

Is this a joke?

You might try reading the article.

Cultures/groups with no accomplishments must make them up.

Dang, can't get that 1st pic to load, even on this T1 line.

"That statement is no longer operative."

[NRA2BFree]

The Hezbians are lying through their rotten, stinking, unbrushed teeth.

I've often thought that myself. Who but another one of them could stand to kiss those filthy Koranimals? They're always raping women, and if I were one they raped, I'd tell them "rape me if you must, but please don't kiss me." LOL

I read the article, yet still I find it incredulous. But not surprising. Pictures of before and after the bombings in Southern Lebonan should also be shown. You'd see not much difference there really.
Either they think we're really stupid or they are really stupid.
Perhaps the return of Baghdad Bob?
Alright, I AM easily amused.

It's "Cody"!!!

You know, I'm very disappointed at the MSM. A major event takes place, and we have yet to hear about it...for the love of Pete, will someone post the pics of the Hezbollah sinking of the US fleet at Pearl Harbor!!!

I'm sure Reuters ran with the story later picked up by the NYT only then to be breathlessly reported by Katie Couric.

Dan and Mary should have employed this technique to substantiate their memo.

Permission to tagline?

[TWohlford]

In other news, Hezbo and the Lebanese Red Cross claim that Israel shot missles into an ambulence, leaving a hole in the top that looks suspiciously like an air vent was removed from that same spot.

The hull in question was the decommissioned, HMAS Torrens, a River-class (variant of the British Leander-class) destroyer escort that served in the Royal Australian Navy from 1971 to 1998. Following decommissioning, the Torrens was sunk in an exercise by the Collins-class submarine, HMAS Farncomb on 14th July, 1999.
