Opus 2011-248, Headlines: What Is a Jihad Social Club?

I followed a link from the Drudge Report about the fighting in Israel.  In reading  I came across this paragraph found HERE.
"The IDF responded in force early Thursday, killing two Palestinians and wounding at least 20 in an airstrike on what the army said was an arms depot in the northern Gaza Strip. Earlier, Palestinian sources said the site hit in the strike was an Islamic Jihad social club."
My guess is that we have a lesson in synonyms here.  It would seem that an arms depot and an Islamic Jihad Social Club are the same thing.  Maybe a sign on the door says, “Rockets R Us.”  Their motto could be “bring us your tired, downtrodden and poor rockets, yearning to be set free.”

Is anybody listening or are all heads in the sand?

    Most folks are so used to accepting spin as truth that they probably believed everything the "peace-loving" muslims said.

    My Pumice Dictionary of the Once-English Language defines "spin" as "lie."

    Grace and peace
