I am insane with rage that the United Nations is thinking of placing an international peacekeeping force comprised of military from nations that don't have the balls to fight for their own country's survival.
It's positioning talk. No done deals of yet.
People are jockeying around getting ready to try to force issues, but also starting bargaining points.
The US holds a pretty big trump card on all this, though.
Didn't I read a few posts ago that the UN Council has postponed their discussion of the International force??
You also called it a "peacekeeping" force...I think that Bolton, Bush and others have made it clear that it can't be just a "peacekeeping" force, but one with the mandate to clear out any and all Hezzies incursions.
THAT will take quite a bit of chutzpah by the UN security council to approve...and so I doubt that will happen.
Therefore, it gives Israel/America the time necessary to do what is necessary.
Now..which scenario do you like better?
