"How do you avoid a contract job you don't want? You high bid it :)"

That's a good analogy.

What options do you think Hezbollah will pursue?

They only option Hezbollah has is to back off Israel

And we all know that will never happen

So the question is .. will this so-called UN force help Lebanon throw the terrorist groups out

I doubt that will happen unless NATO backs it .. which I don't see happening either

The UN is useless and a joke

They won't have to disarm, Seniora will cover for them and let them go back to hiding everything in living rooms and garages. I think Seniora has sold his soul to the devil at this point.

Re your post #262 on yesterday's live thread. Have you read this article in the Daily Telegraph by a man aptly named Tim Butcher?

Definitely on Hezbollahs pay list. But that's probably true of almost all in British media.

Yes, but why then launch such a useless plan?

I think I'll retreat to my gloom and doom position of yesterday morning. Unless something good happens on the ground PDQ.

Oh this is rich, Olmert gave Nasarallah an out and Nasarallah took it. Almost 9am and no rockets, there is no way the IAF will crank back up. Israel's name would mud internationally(as if it already isn't)

As soon as the cease fire is in place, Netanyahu goes on the campaign trail. For all those that see grand strategy in this halt of air activity, what REALLY happened was capitulation by weak political leadership. Indecision at its finest. Maybe i'm wrong, hoping i'm wrong.

Are you feeling better today?

Thanks for asking. I'm a little better today - the antibiotics are starting to work. I'm still a little logey, but I'm going to live. ;-)

You doing OK up there on the top of the world?

Quiet so far. It's been quiet for a couple of days now.

We know Sadr's not done yet, though. And I believe the good guys are ready to take his thugs full on.

Beau! Long time no see! It's great to see you popping up in here.

Yes, I am the same one from the FTR days. I've missed all of y'all.

The UN has had a toothless "interim Force" in Lebanon for 26 years...

Exactly how long is "Interim" in UN-speak?

festering wounds need to be cleansed thoroughly before they can heal properly,, long overdue in the case of Hezbollah
