[...] Update: Resupplying Hezbollah constitutes the third violation of paragraph 8 of the resolution on the Lebanese side. I wrote about the other two violations here. The UN is finally on the case — and they’re blaming Israel, of course: UN envoys have pledged to ask Israel to stop violations of Lebanese territory following an airborne commando operation into eastern Lebanon, Lebanese Foreign Minister Fawzi Sallukh said. [...]

So just now it is announced on Fox that France is going to contribute TWO HUNDRED TO FOUR HUNDRED troops to the force in southern Lebanon? TWO TO FOUR HUNDRED? What happened to FIFTEEN THOUSAND? I keep saying and will always say YOU CANT TRUST THE FRENCH.

Israel, media coverage, more violence to come?…

The reason Israel and Hezbollah (Lebanon) have been fighting is because Hezbollah entered Israel, killed Israeli soldiers and captured Israeli soldiers. That was not explicitly addressed in resolution 1701, but today Israel is saying the resolution has…

After years of watching the Middle East, the brutality, corruption, cowardess, intolerance, and lack of any worthwhile accomplishment, it is beginning to look to me like the only thing that will get these people’s minds right is to give them a severe thrashing. They use human shields, but carp about civilian casualties. They are victims alright, victims of their own religion and culture. I see them as the grave robbers they were plundering graves in WWII to get shoes and watches.

Egypt and Jordan came around after sound thrashings. Syria, Iran, Hesbola, and Hamas need their heads crushed in order to slap them back in the box in which they belong. After that, they can re-think their position and hopefully choose a new mentality toward everyone else. At this point, they are all guilty like the German and Japanese people of WWII.

The U.N. is a worthless gaggle of corrupt, incompetent dolts. Anyone that believes that inept bunch of Keystone Cops impersonators can devise a plan to keep peace and secure Israel’s borders please see me . . . I have several large bridges for sale on the East Coast. The true results of this so called “cease fire” are a defeat for Israel and the free world and a victory for the world wide terrorist movement. The Lebanese army is a joke and couldn’t keep order on an elementary school playground. This entire charade is disgusting.

I’m so glad that we have UN resolutions to protect us all. Why is it that anyone still believes in this powerless, toothless, appeasement loving bunch of blowhards? I’m more afraid of the local metermaid than a UN sanction.

I want to write to Secretary Rice and ask her, “Why, Secretary Rice, why? Why did you forsake a career as anational security specialist for this meaningless, sand-poundingly dull ‘diplomacy’?”

No sane human being ever thought this was a real peace initiative. Lebanon has already promised Hezbollah they can be rearmed by Syria and Iran, and after they build up their weapons cache – they’ll hit Israel again!

Because of the unprecedented power enjoyed by America and its allies

All the power we have is nullified to a great degree by the tactics employed by the terrorists. I know of a man who served in Iraq, as a member of the U.S. Army, who said that terrorists would pop up in a crowded marketplace and open fire on U.S. soldiers. After firing a suitable number of rounds the terrorist would meld into the crowd and disappear. What are our soldiers to do…return fire into a crowd?

These psychos use human shields as part of their tactics, and they take cover from air strikes, making them only partially effective. They do not fight traditionally. They don’t fight fairly. They don’t fight courageously. We are up against it when dealing with these pieces of human garbage, so all our military might (and that of Israel) is largele negated in an untraditional war.

The level of incompetence displayed by Israel’s political leadership reached new heights today, now that PM Olmert finally let Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni fly to New York. “Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni urged Secretary General Kofi…
