The UN is pro-terrorist. That is why they are useless. And hopefully, Israel will continue to point that out, and do as they need to do to prevent their people from being killed by terrorists.

I hope Israel is keeping an eye on their back door..........

>>Decision reached as UN draft would not include Hizbullah disarmament; operation could stop if diplomacy reaches acceptable resolution. <<

Then I pray we don't contribute troops. I don't want our men and women as peace keepers when there is no peace to keep.

[EagleUSA]

The decision to go ahead was reached after it became evident that a UN resolution would not include the disarmament of Hizbullah.

Says it all. Forget the U.N.

One way or the other the solution WILL include Hezbollah disarmament. I prefer the Israeli-imposed solution.

Saddle up guys, you have some riding to do. Good luck and good hunting.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

So the UN actually thought that Israel would go with Hezbollah not being disarmed? Bwahahahahaha. That would be like letting the Cobras and vipers out of the cages at the zoo and not putting them back...just letting them go around and biting whomever they see fit.
I hope Israel does not call this off until after they push to the Natani, and then come back and clean up the snake pits. Then and only then you put in one of those chapter 7 UN agreements that allow peace keepers to FIRE at threats. The idea tha UNIFIL goes from unarmed oberservers to armed oberservers who still probably will not shoot is unacceptable to Israel.

I wouldn't want our troops over there even if there were peace to keep. Our military shouldn't be a police force.

[Dog Gone]

Git 'er done, Israel.

US troops were ruled out early on. Ironically, Israel preferred German troops.

Forget the U.N.

We can't even get the American government to admit that Social Security is an utter failure, they'll never admit that the UN is an utter farce.

"The decision to go ahead was reached after it became evident that a UN resolution would not include the disarmament of Hizbullah."

This should have been the easy part since they already passed resolution 1559 that called for the disarmament of Hizbullah years ago.

The more exposure to the UN the USA has, the more obvious to comes to the "average American" we need to get out of the UN.

[TX Conservative]

Does this mean that Sec. Rice has agreed to this UN agreement? If so, unbelievable that the US is agreeing to stab Israel in the back.

I'm gonna disagree there - it would be better if Israel did not have to impose by themselves - they are under attack by terrorists who, together with their allies are threatening most countries on earth including many Islamic countries.

It would be better if the world worked with Israel on this.

But given the practical choices of
1. Nothing
2. France/U.N.
3. Israel

then I agree that Israeli disarmament of Hezbollah is the best available.

[goldstategop]

Nothing acceptable will be put on the table. Anything favorable to Israel will be nixed by Hezbollah. I don't see any alternative to recreating the security zone in Southern Lebanon and the reality is - at the end of the day it will be patrolled by Israeli, not by foreign or Lebanese troops. And you read it here first.

1. Good - if our troops do anything there it should be fighting Hezbollah

2. You're right... that's pretty darn ironic. I wonder odds you could have gotten in 1945 that a future Jewish state would ask for German troops on their border...

You're right...
