The small group of Ghanaian soldiers manning UNIFIL Position 6-52, to the west of the village of Maroun a-Ras, less than a kilometer from the border, hasn't left its base in the last two weeks.
"Those are the orders of our superior officers," explains one of them who presents himself as commander of the post, but refuses to give his name. "We have been visited by our officers three times since the fighting began and a supply truck arrives here every three or four days." http://peace-and-freedom.blogspot.com/

I guess the purpose of having the Ghanaian soldiers there is to let the U.N. supervisors know if the Israelis are defending themselves. Other than cannon fodder, there doesn't appear to be much use for these poor guys.
Big problem. Poor, small countries volunteer "troops" just to make money...it is exploitation, unprofessional and contributes almost nothing to the good of the world...

They provide cover for Hezbollah. I'll betcha dollars to donuts the ShitHez have nicely tailored U.N. uniforms already for use in a pinch, for escape, ambush or reconnaissance. And the "cleverness" of it will drive the MSM to orspasms (sic) of school girl like delight. I already see Katy Couric doing a Meg Ryan describing the "resourcefullness" of these invincible freedom fighters.
Sacrificial Goats. They should complain to their Ghahan, leader of the Un who is enjoying New Yorks restaurants and parking illegally on New York's streets .
I notice that their POS officers are keeping a safe distance.Jerks.Waiting for these poor guys to get hit,then Kofi can scream racism.
That may actually be dead on! I can how anti-Israel officials at the U.N. would be conniving enough to risk the lives of personnel under their command so as to give an advantage to Hezbollah. Unbelievable isn't it? But it just might be true!
Whether intended or not, operationally they absolutely provide cover for the shitHez.
And I guarantee you that MSM will be having orspasms (sic) of delight over how neato it is, like using Red Crescent ambulances for scout cars.
