This is a disgrace. When I posted an article a few days ago highly critical of using the UN to negotiate an end to this conflict, I was much criticized. Now all the chickens have come home to roost. Hezbollah has won, thanks to Jacques Chirac, and Sec. Rice. The Resolution will call for the disarming of Hezbollah, although no one will be actually entrusted with the task of disarming Hezbollah, and certainly not the French.

Who will the French surrender to first? The Israelis or Hezbollah? Or maybe they'll just go ahead and surrender to the Germans. They've had lots of experience with that.

You are absolutely right. The French acting as a military buffer? Get real. What did the French run out of rape opportunities in the Congo? The French troops will do nothing to stop Hezbollah attacks on Israel nor to disarm them. Iran won. Good job Condi.

The international force was never meant to disarm Hizballah not in this resolution and not in the previous one that failed. I do not know what exactly changed from the previous resolution rejected by Lebanon and Hizballah and this second resolution, they look very similar.

I cannot believe Israel would go along with this. This is absolute suicide for the Jewish state. This is tantamount to defeat. Israel cannot afford a single defeat or they are done for.

If true, this is bad. Hezbollah must be destroyed, and a better opportunity wil not come.

Hez-Ebola will be called the victor and they will soon rule Lebanon with an iron fist

If true, we deserve the fate that Islam brings.

That's my take as well, but remember that Rice is not implementing her agenda. And when you realize what that means, it really sucks!

The Israeli leadership is getting soft. If they buy this deal, they sell out their own country and citizens.

I've been thinking/hoping that it's psyop too.

Many of the Arab govt's want the Hezzies destroyed too (the old Sunni-vs-Shiite, Arab-vs-Persian stuff), and I would hope by now that many of the Euroweenies have figured out the same thing... but they're both too chicken$#1+ of their islamists to do anything except play the good-cop role.

I certainly hope it's psy-games on the US side. And I hope against hope the Frogs & Arabs are playing along too.

Israel is winning at this point. They would be wholly insane to stop at the very doorstep of final victory. Whatever deal the diplomats have cooked up, let's hope that either one or both sides (yes, I know there are 3 sides in this) dismiss it out of hand...........

French soldiers are slated to play a major role in such force as well.

If the French Foreign Legion is sent in, they will straighten out the situation in a flash. You don't screw with them.

Yep, this is logistic cover. Olmert has already said Israel will not accept anything that doesn't improve on what UNIFIL hasn't done in Southern Lebanon over the last 18 years. Hizbullah knows its days are numbered, so they will step up pressure on their "useful idiots." When the Israeli offensive begins, the weeping and moaning from the Western Media will be something to behold.

The resolution falls far short of Israel's declared objectives. If it does not lead to the disarming of Hezbollah, it will simply sow the seeds for a far bigger war down the road.

If it says the implemetation of resolution 1559 is part of it, then that means disarming Hezbollah.
