Cracks in UN plan? I'm sure leaving Israel more exposed "IS" the plan!!
Reagan may have contributed to this debacle more than any other president. His one huge failure was Lebanon. Marines died and not only did he back down. He cut and ran.
only an idiot would trust the UN to protect them. Israel is not stupid. They are going through the motions, that's all. The UN will be exposed (again) as a fraud. And Israel's guns...will...not...rust.
NOt to worry. The Keystone Kops are on the job!
THIS IS THE PLAN?????
This is as much a US failure as it is an Israeli failure!

(No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo!)
[France disappointed the U.N. with its surprise announcement that it is sending only 200 troops instead of the thousands that were anticipated. The absence of the French and the refusal of Germany to place its soldiers in a situation of direct confrontation leaves Muslim nations with a larger percentage of the proposed force.
Indonesia and Malaysia each have offered to send 1,000 troops. Neither country has diplomatic ties with Israel, and Malaysia as recently as last week encouraged the world to cut off diplomatic ties with Jerusalem. Israel has objected to the placement of troops from countries with which it does not have diplomatic relations.
Turkey has offered to send 5,000 men, more than any other country. However, Turkey also has been a major transit point for Hizbullah terrorist weapons, according to Israeli intelligence and comments made at an American State Department briefing Thursday.
Italy has proposed sending between 2,000 and 3,000 soldiers, but has also made statements indicating sympathy for Hizbullah.]
The world is uniting against Israel and the Lord God of Israel. Come LORD Jesus.
