Bye Bye whatever is left of Beirut.
You get the impression that this Israeli offensive is not very well thought out. They should have done some quick bombing and immediately sent in the ground troops.
Think carefully before choosing sides,Lebanese Army.
What a bunch of cowardly idiots. They'd rather fight Israel than take their country back from terrorists? I have no patience or compassion for stupid people.
If they're anything like the French army, I don't think Israel has much to worry about.
I find this utterly amazing. If they really were interesting in reclaiming their country, this would be their opportunity. So, I have to assume that they are in sympathy with Hezbollah, unless there's something I'm missing here.
If they have an army to fight Israel, they had an army to fight Hezbollah.
The Lebanese army has volunteered to die at the side of Hezbollah, and so shall they receive their reward.
I think it's becoming increasingly evident the current Lebanese leadership isn't as opposed to Hezbollah as they would like everyone to believe.
LGf has a thread on this, some pretty good comments: http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=21660_Lebanese_Army_Will_Join_Forces_with_Hizballah&only (Click the show comments link to see them)
Once a muslim always stupid.
Lebanon IS Hezbollah - there are no innocent civilians
Creating even more of a power vacuum.
Golda Meir told Egypt, "We can forgive you for killing our sons, but we will never forgive you for making us kill yours."
How about joining the battle to eliminate terrorists?
Instead of siding with them.
This is a political move, not a military one. The play will be to make a show of using the army, perhaps by marching them around in circles, and beseech the UN to "stop the Zionist madness."
Wasn't Lebanon mostly Christian in the recent 20th Century?
Wait, the Lebanses army would fight Israel but not Hezbollah.
I guess the Lebanese don't really want democracy.
If so, they won't join for long.
