This Malcolm guy on Batchelor...was asked how long the Israelis have.
He said that he figures "they" would be pushing for a UN Resolution by the end of the week..and then a few more days or so to get the International force figured out..and then longer to get them there...
He sounded like if they could get 10 days to 2 weeks just by taking all of the time all of the above would take...then Israel "might" be able to do what they feel they can.
I just can't imagine how they are going to come up with a PLAN for an international force, what their "duties" will be...and assemble them, arm them, house them, in less than 10 days...and that doesn't take into consideration how long Bolton could drag out the negotiations on a UN resolution...
Even then....whose to say he would approve it....with Syria, Iran and FRANCE trying to call the shots..with Kofi added in the mix....I am SURE the ideas they come up with are NOT going to be in Israel or the USA's interest.

This is why the koolaid drinkers are going to have a bad day. It's not going to happen the way they are dreaming about. They don't have enough power to make it be so.
I can clear this confusion up right away. France has not deployed actual troops on the ground in so many years they don't understand the word LOGISTICS. They think they can say "peackeepers will be supplied by France" and Voila!
It's going to take them a long time to get a force together. Even as close as France is, they can't put something together in less then 2 weeks. Israel has all the time it needs.
