Watcher's Council Results, 8/4/06

The Council has spoken! Complete results can be found here on the site of our fearless leader, Watcher of Weasels

The winner for Council posts was AbbaGav - They're not what you've been told, they're our neighbors' kids. A superb portrait of a truely moral citizen's army...the IDF. And this is only his second week on the Council..I can't wait to see what he comes up with next!

Second place was a three way tie:

J O S H U A P U N D I T: The Qana strike..the making of a Hezbo-wood production My examination of how Hezbollah set up a PR `massacre', complete with the use of dead children's bodies as props at Qana..not for the fainthearted.

The Glittering Eye: More on Doha Dave's interesting recap on the collapse of the Doha Global trade Agreement and its implications.

ShrinkWrapped: Guilt vs Shame The always scintillating ShrinkWrapped explores the difference between the tribal `shame based' culure prevalent in the Muslim world as opposed to the Judeo-Christian `guilt' culture..and paid me the supreme compliment of referencing one of my posts on Iran and Ahmadinejad as an example to illustrate his analysis.

For non-Council posts the winner was treppenwitz: A difficult lesson, a superb parable on why `ceasefires' with intransient opponents without a decisive defeat are a dangerous and stupid idea.

In second place was Patterico’s Pontifications � L.A. Times Editors: “We Just Can’t Solve the Mystery of Why that Muslim Guy Shot All Those Jews” Patterico's piece on how the MSM can't figure out what the rest of us already know..it's the jihad, baby!

Hearty kudos to all the winners!
