According to the UN, Israeli officials said the engineers would become a target if they attempted to repair the bridge.
Read that again.

08-08-06 - 'We are ready to fight, we are ready to die' "All children now want to grow up to fight Israel. It's shameful how we are being treated. What have we as children ever done to them?

08-08-06 - Suddenly, Washington sees that Iraq, Lebanon issues are linked More substantially, the policy-maker suggested the administration's policies of bolstering Iraq and pulling Arab moderates out of the fire were at risk because of Israel's policies, adding that the Israelis "won't like" aspects of the U.N. Security Council resolution the United States and France proposed this weekend as a way out of the conflict. I saw this one coming from a mile away - and I'm no military planner. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that when you arm and back Israel's wanton destruction of Lebanon, it's a sure bet you'll piss off her neighbors. But that fact matters not to the Bush administration, evidently. Now the chickens are coming home to roost and our guys are trapped in the middle like sitting ducks. It's BS of the highest order. And it's exceptionally hard to believe that those in the Bush administration who saw fit to rush Israel bombs and jet fuel did not think of the consequences of these actions beforehand.
