I'm pretty lost on why this would be accepted by Israel. I mean, I understand the theory behind preventing escalation that spirals completely out of control, but this is peculiar.
1. When did we decide it's ok to negotiate with terrorists?
2. Does Israel really believe that Lebanon can or will disarm Hezbollah?
Olmert's done.
I hope they follow up, too.

Foreign Ministry: Operation aimed at enabling Lebanese army to take over
A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem said that the continuation of the Israel Defense Forces operation in Lebanon is aimed at paving the way for the Lebanese army to take over the area.
Earlier it was reported that the IDF will continue its operation in southern Lebanon in spite of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's decision to recommend on Sunday that the government accept the UN ceasefire agreement. (AP)

Paving the way for the Lebanese = clearing out Hezbollah IMHO.
I hope so.

SNIPPET: "Has any one made a map, or done any tracking, of cities/towns the cell phones are being purchased? or of where the suspects are being picked up?
Thanks."
"...the concensus was that things would start
rolling in Europe first then the UK and quickly spread to the U.S"
I remember this but I thought it was something posted by a jihadi potty.
I knew the cell phone cell was picked up but I didn't realize they were arrested on on terrorism charges.

I think he's speaking a little too soon. He really ought to wait until the investigation overseas is complete.

It's that tiny last paragrahp that is interesting.

The only reason that Israel would accept it is because of Olmert. Previous PM's would never have let this go this long or far. Olmert is a warning to us if we elect a leftie Demonrat to the presidency.
As far as negotiating with terrorists....it may be side stepped in that it specifies Lebanon, not Hezbollah. But then all can see through that smoke screen.
I think the IDF will do all they can to facilitate Lebanon taking control. The still have friends there and after the Syria-inspired assination, there Syria is even less liked, along with Hezbollah. Does the leadership of Lebanon have the moxie to disarm and kick Hezbollah out? Highly doubtful IMHO, so within a year Israel will be forced to act again. Hopefully, this wakes up the citizenry and gets someone who competent militarly in charge, not the pamper brigade of Olmert's cabinet.
"I guess they had a lot of calling to do, huh? "

But we must never, ever violate their civil rights to plan terrorist attacks on us, by listening in on their conversations, when they are talking to their fellow terrorists to plot the attacks to kill us. (/sarc)
Tehran, 11 August (AKI) -
One of Osama bin Laden's sons, Saad, together with a number of top al-Qaeda commanders, including Seif al Adel, are hiding in Iran and are not in Syria as reported by several Western papers this week, a well informed source told Adnkronos International (AKI). The source, a top Iranian intelligence official until a few months ago, said al-Qaeda and members of Iran's powerful revolutionary guard, the Pasdaran, are negotiating coordinated actions against the United States and Israel.

Iran: 'Allah's Widow' Claims 56,000 - A Third Women - Ready For Suicide Missions
Tehran, 8 August (AKI) - An Iranian hardline Islamist journalist claims she has recruited 56,000 Iranians, a third of them women, to carry out suicide attacks against American, British and Israeli targets. Afrouz Rajai, who in 1979 was among a group of Iranian students who held 52 US diplomats hostage in the American embassy in Teheran for 444 days, also told Adnkronos International (AKI) that 35 of the would-be terrorists are "of the Jewish faith."
The firebrand activist, dubbed "Allah's widow," by her detractors in Iran formed what she said was a "non governmental organisation" three years ago to recruit volunteers prepared to "carry out suicide actions against the United States, Britain, the Zionist entity (Israel) or any nation or person hostile to Muslims or the Islamic faith," she said.
