Francona just said it was just retoric for his people. That they are weak and didn't follow the UN resolutions to disband militias. They started to but never touched Hizbollah.

I was typing it as it was being broadcast. I did the best I could to get as much as possible, but I definitely didn't get it all.

Lebanon should ask for help in getting rid of Hezbullah. They aren't doing that, so they are in a fix.

Here's why:
Divisions over Hezbollah legitimacy as Arab FMs hold emergency talks
By The Associated Press
CAIRO - Foreign ministers of 18 Arab countries held an emergency summit in Cairo on Saturday over Israel's expanding assault on Lebanon, but squabbles over the legitimacy of Hezbollah's attacks on Israel - including the capture of two Israel Defense Forces soldiers that sparked the 4-day battle - appeared likely to keep participants from reaching a consensus, delegates said.
The Saudi foreign minister appeared to be leading a camp of ministers criticizing the guerrilla group's actions, calling them "unexpected, inappropriate and irresponsible acts."
"These acts will pull the whole region back to years ago, and we cannot simply accept them," Saudi al-Faisal told his counterparts.
Supporting his stance were representatives of Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Iraq, the Palestinian Authority, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, delegates said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem lashed back al-Faisal, asking "How can we come here to discuss the burning situation in Lebanon while others are making statements criticizing the resistance?"

Iran and Radical (Islamofacists) Push for War 07/15/2006 1:20:58 PM EDT
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1666271/posts UK Daily Star ^ | 7/15/06 | David Ignatius
Israeli and American doctrine is premised on the idea that military force will deter adversaries. But as more force has been used in recent years, the deterrent value has inevitably gone down. That's the inner spring of this crisis: The Iranians (and their clients in Hizbullah and Hamas) watch the American military mired in Iraq and see weakness. The danger of Iranian-backed adventurism is immense right now, but that's all the more reason for America and Israel to avoid past mistakes in countering it. Reliable strategic lessons are hard to come by in this part of the world, but here...

ALI BULAC 07.15.2006 Saturday - ISTANBUL 19:56 Palestine, the Mother of all Problems! In the wake of 9/11, the Palestinian issue is no longer viewed as an international problem but as international security problem. According to the new definition, the problem is not only one that goes beyond the Israeli-Palestinian borders, but it is also a problem that threatens the world security. Indeed, the Palestinian problem pauses the greatest danger not only to the security entire region, but also to the world. If the problem is resolved in a fair manner, it will affect the regions future in the short...

Extremely weak, could his people admire this?
He has a terrorist/mob organization humiliating him, and he begs for UN help?
Good grief, where are all the men?
To: debg
Like I said, freaky. Especially Saudi Arabia.
To: hipaatwo
Yep- I was listening to him too...he's a steady fellow(my TV is in shock being on MSNBC.)
I sent several emails to FOX and even called them this morning to BEG for better coverage...
I have this mental picture...of talking heads...heads of states etc...talking about when to talk, where to talk, what to talk about, who to talk about and to...all the while Israel keeps DOING..while not talking much at all:)
