BBC News:
Israel has rejected a United Nations call for a three-day truce in southern Lebanon, as US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrives in Israel.
The UN says children, elderly and disabled are trapped and supplies are short after two weeks of fighting.
No kidding. A convoy of international press, clearly marked and giving the IDF half-hourly updates on its position, was shelled on Friday on its way out of south-east Lebanon. Several cars with refugees had joined the convoy, mistakenly believing this would be safer. These refugees were hit, wounding several children.
The Norwegian TV2, which had a reporter in this convoy, interviewed terrified villagers trapped with their children in the area and running out of food. They either didn’t have a car or were afraid to be attacked if they left the house.
In the subsequent segment, the Killer Chimp filled the TV screen with his hideous grin, boasting that what is going on in Lebanon “is US policy.”
– We’ll get every last one of those turrrist children.
Update: Good news. A terrorist mother and her six terrorist children were killed when an Israeli F-16, paid for with American tax money, bombed the family’s house outside of Nabatiyeh. Another terrorist family member was also offed.
Unfortunately the terrorist family father, Adnan al-Kharakeh, survived as he was out working for the terrorist Lebanese Civil Defense, saving other terrorist bomb victims.
In other uplifting news on the fruits of US policy, six terrorist civilians were killed in an airstrike against several residential houses in the border village Ain Arab, and a further eight terrorist civilians were found killed on the deadly roads of southern Lebanon. Among the latter were a terrorist married couple and their three terrorist children, hit by an Israeli missile as they shamelessly tried to flee the Israeli self-defense.

Meanwhile, Norwegian TV showed images of a terrorist woman, nine months pregnant, trying to walk the 30 kilometers to relative safety in the blistering heat with bombs literally raining around her. After a near-hit she squatted and cried in despair, as only a true, hardened terrorist would do.
Additionally, another terrorist UN observer post has been destroyed in an airstrike. Two terrorist unarmed UNIFIL observers were wounded.
