LEBANON rejects a draft UN Security Council resolution which aims to brings about a ceasefire with Israel, and wants the text to be amended, a government source said overnight.
"The Lebanese government is opposed to the Franco-American draft and has sent Lebanon's representative to the UN, Acting Foreign Minister Tarek Mitri, an amended text which includes Lebanon's demands," the source said.
I guess Lebanon found the text excessively opaque too. Cheers.
I don't think Lebanon had much leverage...let the big boys hash it out....you go fix the Lebanese Army...or girl scouts.....whatever....
"The Lebanese government is opposed to the Franco-American draft and has sent Lebanon's representative to the UN, Acting Foreign Minister Tarek Mitri, an amended text which includes Lebanon's demands,"
Meaning Hizbollah has rejected the proposed UNSC resolution.
Oh..ok lebanon..let's look at your "demands"..hmm..don't think the part of Israel driven into the sea is going to go over well..well at least with the USA..oh and Israel..
Those darn "future allies".
"Meaning Hizbollah has rejected the proposed UNSC resolution."
I bet it's the "Lebanese prisoners". The draft says the Israeli soldiers need to be released, but not the Lebanese prisoners Nasrallah said he captured the Israelis to trade.
One of the lebonese prisoners killed a child in Israel.
I guess Lebanon has taken a liking to getting pounded.
Did the Lebanese government officials even READ the draft?
I couldn't....

I agree - the Lebs are puppets here. They are afraid of the Hezzies and Iran. Of course they have to disagree. Well I see it as an excellent opportunity for the Israelis to keep the momentum up, keep taking out Hezzies and occupying key positions. Go Israel.
..hope for the best.....bomb the rest...I mean prepare for the worse.....
Just saw bolton on TV on this. He says that Rice has been talking to the PM and they have had a top envoy in Beirut for two days. They expect agrement.
Oh excuse me... did you hear that? "they have demands"... they're walking around with their britches fallin' off and hiding behind women and children, but they have "demands"... oh pardon me your majesty dear lebanese raghead, how about you take your demands and shove them up Nasrallah's hairy rear end. When you learn to stand up to thugs and can tell right from wrong we might listen to those demands, meanwhile shut the hell up.
haha... they have demands... maybe thats arabic for "shameless desert raghead syndrome"?
I want Hizbolla smashed into tiny little pieces which even God himself couldn't put back together.
I want Boy Assad to do something (else) stupid so the Israelis can give him a 2,000 lb. laser guided CARE package right in his living room.
The only downside I see to Assad being scattered to the four winds is that the USMC wouldn't be able to hang his head on a pike outside Camp LeJeune and let new Marine Recruits use the corpse for bayonet training.
But I suppose one can't have everything.

P.S. Is it wrong that your tagline sends a tiny shiver up and down my spine?
I have a feeling that if the Lebanese really get on board we could see some collective good out of this...not near term but long term....I trust Bolton to look out for our needs though the decisions are really coming from the higher ups....
Rubbleland better wise up quickly.
The Lebanese government is opposed to the Franco-American draft
I knew they made spagetti, I didn't know they made beer.
(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em Down Hezbullies.)
Oh Lebanon still has that government thingy? I thought Nasarallah was the fearless leader of Labanon. Who knew??
