"A few large corporations should just BUY Lebanon and operate it like a resort. A team of redneck security guards would take care of any remaining terrorists."

LOLOLOL! Now THAT is an idea.

I don't understand, if the Leb army could not deal with the Hizzies, what do they expect to do against a real army?
IMHO, it sounds like a suicide mission.

"pseudo sure means (fake, false, not real, etc.) to all us common folk ;)"

That was his reaction, too. What do you mean I'm having fake seizures??!!?

It's a shame your friend is caught up in this... they should really help get Hez out of there...

Here is what he's been told now.

He reports tomorrow to sign paperwork and get issued his gear. It is precautionary. He will have to report there every morning. He was told that if Israeli troops mount a ground offensive, they will go to fight.

If we hear more, I'll let you know. We're getting this off of IMs from him in Lebanon.

Some of their reports are sent for free, these are the one that you have seen, others are "premium" this is the latter. We have to respect their right to earn money ;-)

If they send it to the public domain I will publish it.

i think we need to pay attention to verbiage here, she will be looking for a solution, not cease fire. The solution we and israel are looking for is a full removal of Hizbullah from the border (at least back to the litani river) the only force in the region capable and willing to do so is the IDF. I think once the IDF pushes them far enough back, then there is no need to include Hizbullah in the talks (with the exception of the captured soldiers)

On balance, Kofi Anan is one of the most dangerous men in the world because he gives legitimacy to the most evil people on earth.

If I were directing blacks ops he'd be tops on the list...
and his replacements would keep disappearing until the message was acknowledged.

I agree. Personally, I think the buildup should have been listed as censored information for the press. Let Hezbollah find out about it when they are engaged.

The rub is... will Hez trust the troops? Will they think a spy or two may be there? Could they let the IDF know where they are?
