Like Haditha, Quana Appears More and More To Have Been Staged

This seems to be the prevailing opinion gathering steam in the blogosphere and first intimated almost immediately by the Israelis themselves as I and just about everyone else blogged about a few days ago. Here are some great links and theories regarding the "Hezbollywood Moment" around the 'sphere yesterday and today.

For starters the article below tells us that the actual body count has fallen sharply since first wildly and recklessly reported by the Main Stream Media and then mirror-like trumpeted around the blogosphere by just about everyone including myself.

And as usual, Queen of the Blogosphere Michelle Malkin, who has become one of the premier authorities on just about everything Jihad, has a HotAir rant up with some interesting comments and more links about the story accompanying it. Michelle Malkin & Hezbollywood

This is just the beginning of much more to come on this story as this tactic was used successfully by Hezbollah once before I'm pretty sure to shorten a conflict with Israel at an earlier date in history.
