Even the UK's rabidly leftwing Guardian Unlimited seems to find this alarming:
An internal Lebanese army statement, circulated among forces in the past week, has called for troops to stand "alongside your resistance and your people who astonished the world with its steadfastness and destroyed the prestige of the so-called invincible army after it was defeated".While the UN peacekeeping force is touted in the West as a deterrent to Hizballah terrorism with a mission to disarm Hizballah, Hizballah's leaders and supporters within the Lebanese army see the peacekeepers as reinforcements in their war with Israel:
The UN's expected deployment of 15,000 troops is seen as an additional force to assist in Lebanon's defence against Israel. "We are happy with such a large force to provide sufficient deterrent to Israeli aggression," said Gen Kader.This article is a strong indication that those who opposed a quick-fix ceasefire were absolutely correct. One more thing, Hizballah has decided to add "ordinary Americans" to its hitlist of infidel enemies:
Ordinary Americans are now enemies of Hizbullah, a Shia cleric said yesterday at the funerals of the 29 victims of the July 29 Qana bombing, above.Thanks ever so much to the useful idiots in the West who rushed in to rescue Hizballah, and especially to the Western media giants who, through sloth or stupidity, allowed Hizballah to infiltrate their organizations."American people, you are partners in these massacres, you are partners in this war," said Nabil Kaouk, the leading Hizbullah official in southern Lebanon. "After this no Lebanese can trust an American. You are all murderers and criminals."

The IDF has been running on fumes since the Yom Kippur war. They need to get their house in order before they lose what little deterrence they have left.

"Now class, please open your books to page 37. There you will see an old map of the Middle East. Now look at the modern map on page 38. Who can tell me why Lebanon, Syria, and Iran are gone?"

Condi Rice has been captured by the traitorous culture of the State Department. She sold Israel down the river.

Looking at the shameful record of State--especially where the Saudis are concerned--and looking at the ceasefire deal that Rice was so involved in, the conclusion I reached looks perfectly reasonable.
Do your own research into the record of the State Department.

Armpits and a$$holes, armpits and a$$holes...
Others in a probably better vantage point would disagree entirely. E.G. www.yonitheblogger.com
He said on Hewitt's show that the US did more than the Isreali gov. expected they would.
Garduneh Mehr,
The US gave Israel weeks to do whatever they wanted to do. Israel dropped the ball on their own damn feet. I don't see how short of actually deploying US troops into Leb would your opinion be satisfied. Israel was restraint by its own polity and their own misguided sense of loyalty to the UN in signing onto the cease fire.
You wanna know what the first sign of a loser is? Yep, blaming others.

If that agreement is the best we in the West could do, then God help us. We're now subservient to a corrupt U.N.

Again, you make a bold statement. Back it up. Source it. Link it.

I read too many sources to be bothered going back and finding something for someone too lazy to do their own work.

Hard to say, given I haven't the slightest clue what you're talking about.

Try this - I know who lost! Lebanon.
A sorry excuse for a country that only really exists on paper and in the minds of the hopelessly naive status quo'ers.
GR - check out the real history of lebanon for '43 on. If not for the US & Israel being the Great Satan & Little Satan - the muslims would be focusing their rage at the other interloper in the area - tiny Lebanon (the tiny Satan).
Pity Lebanon - who is their benefactor and supporter? Answer: France n' the Euros ..... now that's oh soooo funny .... and oh sooooo sad!

Truth is - the ball game was more interesting. I love minor leaque and I truly love Little League - makes it easier to forget there is a Lebanon, Olmert, Israel, Huzzbaby etc - at least for awhile.

Maybe Isreal was gettin it's Ass whipped, it's the only reason I can think of for not letting them Destroy Hezbollah! If Beruit Need to be Turned into DUST, so be it!
I think this also needs to be applied in Iraq, It's time to stop letting our soldiers stand by and have pot shots taken at them!
I'd have a long talk with the Powers in Iraq and let them know just how it was going to work from now on, The Shit Holes in Irag are going to Be DUST!
Period, End of Story!! Drop the Leaflets, give the warning and the Turn them into a Parking Lot!
Fuckem
I'm damn tired of watching our soldiers being Killed, Lettem Loose!

I hear you. I've spend what feels like endless hours arguing with Libs, providing source after source. But all they feel the need to do is shoot down the sources on trivialities. But they never back their own shyte up. We should just take them at their own schtoopid word it seems. We're arguing with ignoramuses.

Calamity and disaster don't quite seem like potent enough words for this situation, so I guess farce will have to do.
