Today's dose of bullshit
Here's Matt Drudge spreading palestinian propaganda from the AP:
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - Israeli troops turned heavy firepower on rocket squads bombarding southern Israel Saturday, killing 54 Palestinians in the deadliest day in Gaza since the current round of fighting erupted in 2000.
Except... that's not quite true, some of the dead palestinians were killed by the palestinians themselves:
According to Palestinian sources, at least 16 of those killed were civilians, including a baby - reported to have been struck when a Palestinian rocket misfired - and two teenagers. Palestinian gunmen bombarded Israel with at least 50 rockets and mortar rounds the evening, undeterred by Israeli troops backed by tanks and attack aircrafts.
and...
Hamas's armed wing, Izzadin Kassam, claimed responsibility for firing five rockets at Israel, one of which misfired, wounding five Gazans.
Never mind the truth, just blindly support the terrorists in their efforts to kill the Jews and blame the Jews when they fight back. And... there's no need to mention the end result of those 50 rockets shot by palestinian terrorists into Israeli towns:
Twenty-two residents of Sderot and Ashkelon were transported to Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon for treatment Saturday after being injured by the rocket salvo on the two southern cities.
Three of the city's residents, two of them children, were injured by shrapnel.
Oh, and by the way, the children who were injured? They were asleep in their beds when a rocket fell on their home. and... those were not just any rockets. They were Iranian rockets.
There is only way to improve the situation in Gaza, and that's with daisy cutters.

If we took Pierre Salinger, Jack Anderson, Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather put them in a blender we'd have Matt Drudge, The muckraking wannabe investigative journalist with all the credibility of the aforementioned blend.
