Why Blame the Attacker When You Can Blame the Victim?

The mainstream media is having a field day with UN honcho, Kofi Annan.

Their message is pretty much carried across the board: it's just a mistake that Israel bombed the U.N. facility in South Lebanon on Tuesday and that, if blame lies anywhere, it lies with Kofi Annan for pointing out that Israel shouldn't have bombed them. Little attention paid to numerous sources that tell us the U.N., an Irish officer, and others repeatedly told Israel they were attacking the U.N. and should stop while Israel continued for 6-10 hours.

And the mighty righties myths - Hezbollah runs the UN in Lebanon and other silliness - gets repeated again and again as near fact. Sheesh!
