Am I the only guy that things that Joe the Plumber will make a better reporter than most of the MSN when it comes to the Gaza war?
Morning Joe thought it was a joke as does Israellycool. I don’t think so.
A good reporter, reports on what he actually sees, a regular person also tends to recognize bull when he sees or hears it.
He will also have one big advantage of major news networks. Any retaliation by terrorists for reporting they don’t like would be directed at him, a single target. Major networks and news bureaus have people all over the world. It isn’t hard to target them.
The Logical Counter move by Iran

Reports this morning of Rockets coming from Lebanon into Israel were only surprising in the sense that it took so long for Iran to open the 2nd front.
However Hamas is denying that they have anything to do with it, the “Government” of Lebanon has condemned it and Hizbullah denies that it has anything to do with it.
I’m not sure I buy it, very little happens in Lebanon without the consent of Hizbullah/Syria/Iran. It could be a sip of coffee to see what Israel will do. They may be allowing it on the condition that they have plausible deniability.
I still maintain it is the logical counter move, particularly with Hamas getting handed its rear in the south. There is no way that Hamas can give in without losing face, a 2nd front would allow them to try to get additional concessions from Israel to save face.
I have no idea what is going to happen next.
Muqata and snapped shot saw a photo that didn’t look right to them so they went to the blog that can spot a phony a mile away. LGF. Charles Johnson is an unabashed supporter of Israel and an enemy of all things Jihad. He is also an honest man:
It’s always good to question and criticize photos such as this, because as we’ve learned, occasionally an outright fake will come through the wires.
But in this case the picture is indisputably genuine—because here’s the same explosion photographed from the opposite point of view at about the same time, with the same flying debris and at least one of the same buildings, by a different photographer: Nikola Solic for Reuters.
It speaks very well for Johnson that he won’t sell his honor, not even for a propaganda edge in war.
