The French UN 'Force': Collaborating or Surrendering?

Cross-posted from The Dread Pundit Bluto

Likely the French themselves don't even know whether they're deliberately helping Hizballah re-arm or simply turning a blind eye to avoid unpleasantness.

From The Jerusalem Post:

France announced on Friday that the international naval force designated to patrol Lebanon's territorial waters would not be authorized to employ force to stop ships from entering or leaving Lebanon.

A spokesman for the French defense ministry said that the international craft would only provide assistance for Lebanese ships, and would not interfere with other nations' boats, Israel Radio reported.

Yeah, that'll work. One can imagine the conversation when a Syrian ship, packed with Iranian missiles, enters southern Lebanese waters:

FRENCH CAPTAIN: Ahoy! Please to heave-to zo zat we may inzpect your cargo!
SYRIAN CAPTAIN: We are carrying aspirin and diapers.
FRENCH CAPTAIN: But what are zose large, oblong containers on your deck?
SYRIAN CAPTAIN: Diaper boxes, you meddling dog. Here is a Hershey bar. Go and tell your mother that I am ready for her attentions.
FRENCH CAPTAIN: Very good, m'sieur. Carry on.

Via Captain's Quarters.

The Frenchies are there to 'protect' the Hezbolese against Israeli aggression.

2 "The Pirate Armada is coming alongside Fwenchie, prepare to be boarded!"

I had hoped Israel allowed for this "resolution" to take place, in order to show the world, that the United Nations solutions were completely flawed, and without hostile action Hezbollah would not be removed from the border -- it didn't take long for the U.N's ROE to become "do nothing at all" does anyone know why they even carry guns?

3 ROFLMAO tears running from eyes Ha, Ha Oohhhh!
the laughing stops when an Israeli war Vehicle destroys a French Military element when it DOES attempt to overtly protect Hiz from resupply.
French Nuclear force meet Israeli Nuclear force.
Chirac did say he would nuke a terrorist state, He also believes Israel is a terrorist state.remember the noble French phrase when describing Israel "Zat Sheeety leetle cuntry."
Besides No Frenchman has ever surrendered to an Israeli before!
