Lebanese Cabinet agrees to send troops to southern Lebanon if Israel withdraws and if it gets help from an international force.

[Polyxene]

This is so one-sided, it makes me sick! I wouldn't blame Israel if they just settled everything in one-fell-swoop --BOOM -- similtaneous MOABs in Beirut, Damascus and Tehran.

[wolfcreek]

There was a story over the weekend about Lebanese troops firing at the IAF with AA. (which was immediately destroyed) Sounds to me like they're already engaged.

[ichabod1]

The Lebanese army IS the Hexxies.

[ichabod1]

And put on Lilac Vegetal.

[ichabod1]

Ready! Fire! Aim!

[ichabod1]

What need have you of toilet paper when you have your own good left hand.

[ichabod1]

Are they sending them to police the area

You mean pick up cigarette butts?

[Invincibly Ignorant]

I would believe those polls like I believe the Reuters photographer.

I dunno. In this case I'd be more sceptical if the poll numbers were the other way around.

[epluribus_2]

You'd support them too if the poll taker showed up at your door with Ghuido to help morivate you.

"Ok is this a good or bad thing?"

I think it is bad. They wont kill Hezzies.
Though violence would drop while the hezzies regroup and rebuild. Only if Lebanon outlaws these kinds of groups and goes after them. They wont. They didnt up til now, they would only seek to maybe try to control them. But Iran controls them in the end.

As bad as it sounds, we must hope for continued war. For everday Israel kills more islamo facsists and destroys their infrastructure. Anything less is simply going to make the problem continue. This needs to be a decisve victory with total defeat of the hezzies.
Not just for Isreal but for the whole worlds security.

That is the way I see it.

Looks like the cabinet may be afraid that Hezbollah will turn their weapons on the cabinet members next....Time to get them under control.

[BJClinton]

latest poll showed 80% of Lebanese people supporting Hezbollah

Was the poll conducted by Reuters?

[hershey]

I'm so reassured. Their spokeswoman was on CNN yesterday double talking as fast as she could.

[doc30]

And how many Lebanese soldiers are also Hezbollah?

[veronica]

RETURN THE KIDNAPPED ISRAELI SOLDIERS.

[SirLinksalot]

QUESTION : ARE THEY REALLY NATIVE LEBANESE, OR ARE THERE SOME HEZBOLLAH SPIES AND TERRORISTS EMBEDDED IN THIS 15,000 ?

[Proud_USA_Republican]

easily 1/3 of the Lebanese army are shiites who claim loyalty and support for Hezbollah.

So putting them on the southern borders is about the same as having Hezbollah there.

I'm sure they will turn a blind eye as Hezbollah rearms.

[Tulsa Ramjet]

"Well the Lebanese did such a terrific job of keeping Hezbollah out of Southern Lebanon before."

Good point. Where were they before when the Hezzies were gaining the faith of the local populace by putting a suicide bomb car in every garage?

[Kimberly GG]

"The latest poll showed 80% of Lebanese people supporting Hezbollah."

And how many did we just give a free ride into America?

[caver]

"A percentage of the Leb army sympathizes with Hez."

I guess that would make sense considering some of the support of the population.
