Greetings from California (Return of Green Helmet Guy?)

';

Aussie Dave

I landed in California about 15 hours ago, and after a moderately fulfilling sleep, am back in business.

I have been going through my mails and found this interesting one from reader Kenneth:

Remember the guy from all those shots of Qana holding the bodies appearing to pose before the camera?  There was a lot of speculation that he was a Hizbullah operative.  Well, on Fox News this morning, they were showing a Lebanese cabinet meeting, and right next to the Prime Minister was a man who leaned over to whisper to him, and he looked awfully familiar.  It was Green-Helmet guy!!  And considering that there are Hizbullah members in the Lebanese governement, it is a distinct possibility that he is a member.  And if he is not, then it shows the government’s colllaboration with Hizbollah and not their claims of being the innocent vicitm.

Can anyone else confirm this sighting of Green Helmet Guy?

    I took a quick break to make you laugh.

    Variations on My Strong Sentiments for Byanca During My Strong Sentiments

    (*Byanca is an Interior Designer)

    I also have strong sentiments for you.

    It feels strange but also very nice.

    Last night I was building my kingdom in midair, true,

    I appointed you to decide the place of the table and the chair

    The council meeting room and the stairs to the higher room

    The bed stand, the desk lamp, the articles, the pictures

    You were all about me and all around me everywhere I ruled

    It was also very nice.

    No it is not a mere whiff of fantasies

    There you were designing every set in all my movies

    I felt like Ingmar Bergman with you as Liv Ullman beside me

    (I wonder if I will feel like Ingmar Bergman still when you will visit me again with the coffee)

    Well, if not Ingmar Bergman, I insist I should feel at least like Andrey Tarkovski

    Cos it also feels so nice.

    I only feel old as Bach now

    It is all melancholy and distant weeping violins

    I can’t wait until you’re back to Lebanon

    And you’d open your legs and let me in

    But if you will also be a bitch

    I warn you, I will go on you all Shostakovich

    You are in Athens walking alongside the anti-war demonstrations

    I am in my office howling under my great frustration

    Eli-iah’s ravens put food in my mouth

    As I continue hiding in this cave from my mom

    Who knows where the drift can take me

    I slipped in here where no world can break me

    The dead come and dance to a music no drum can ape

    And the burning hell has so fallen out of tricks and taste

    Who can wake me from this

    When I never ever will sleep again

    I only have time for food and drink and for your kiss

    This little bliss to being a man

    You have strong sentiments for me you say

    My heart doubled its size (when-I-heard-you)4

    I think I also developed mind

    And rested for a while from my (pal-pi-ta-tion)4

    And you know, I am always kicking like an ass

    The time has entered the point of no returning

    And with this current crazy plunge I remember the demons in Matthew 8; 29

    The fuckers drove down the lake of death the entire herd of swine

    As if the savior did not come on account of all of us animals

    But hey, look at the bright side of it

    ‘Legion’ has an army of dancing fish

    And he is amiable brand new character

    And lepers walk and talk here and there in total health

    About the next coming disaster

    There is a hand that cares and bears

    Where no chain or grip of stain could ever hold us still

    Look at Jesus’ loving gaze

    He melts the ice of our vacant stare

    The Son of Man, the Son of Will.

    Look at the rapture of our little ones who don’t know

    If the thunder of the planes is too loud

    Their luminous light will make the pilots go blind

    That’s why they kill them all

    Look at David cursing the Israeli parliament, David the battle king,

    And note how the Mahdi breaks the necks of mujaheedeen in full armor

    And thrusts an attitude upon all their zealotries

    The air from his ass is purer than all the useless violent wind

    Look at the bruised firmament

    Look at the bruised and martyred saints

    That’s not what I would devise now for heaven

    And put it under hell again

    Look at the next thousand dead

    They are all coming here

    And note the smile on their face and their great surprise

    As God hugs them close and lets them in

    Take a lesson from the fig tree

    If the nations are riper in their vanity

    If the nations are riper than me

    Take a lesson from Aphrodite

    Asking Sappho ‘what ails thee’

    And consider it is the Madonna we will be invoking

    Just to let us be

    They will hear from me

    They will hear from me

    Round-down

    News 15 IDF reservists killed today. Two Palestinian women (a bomber and her driver) arrested before they reach their target. In the same story, two Islamic Jihad terrorists killed in their “house in the Jenin refugee camp”. Good for the IDF. Folks, on…

    I think I may have seen that cabinet meeting on the AP satellite video feed two days ago (Tuesday evening, possibly Monday evening, here in Bangkok). I caught it just as the meeting was breaking up, and I’m sure I saw “green helmet guy” there in a black t-shirt. There were a number of guys in the same t-shirt, looking like security types. I watched intently to see if I could verify him again as the camera moved around, but the feed ended.

    I’m almost positive it was him.

    I am positive now I saw him too. When I saw him in the cabinet meeting I wasn’t shure but now that other people also saw him!

    I think I saw him also on a coverage from Tyre - can anyone confirm this?

    UPDATE 7:05. Via NB reader Geepers comes this link to a German TV news show proving that the infamous Abdel Qader, aka “green helmet guy,” is a stage manager for Hezbollah. The video shows him rehearsing the removal of a body from an ambulance and giving directions to the camera operator. Little Green Footballs and New Busters have a link to the video.
