#1 Hez has given the Siniora adminitration a one-week deadline (starting last Monday?) to form a national "unity" government. It's been announced that the "first" round of talks will be held by interested parties this coming Monday. Nasrallah won't be at that meeting because he's concerned about personal security matters.

All this stuff, to me, appears to be about prying Syria's (and ultimately Iran's) fingers off the collective throat of the Lebanese people.

Nasrallah has imposed a deadline, now let him enforce it.

#4 How can Hezbollah command anyone? They are less that 5% of the population! If the Lebanese werent lesbians they would have taken care of this problem LONG ago. Clearly the unFIL can be termed ad UNFUFILLED force because they are not up to protecting or stopping anyone. They will only get in the3 way when the Hezbollah (and they will) launch their next attack. un is as useless as tits on Hillary.

#5 The report cites a long tradition of UNIFIL inaction, which it says allowed time for a Finnish contingent to construct a giant sauna and an Indian contingent to decorate its base with traditional Indian artwork.

#7 Cyber Sarge, the US withdrew the marines from fighting Hezbollah. Israel's army withdrew from fighting Hezbollah.

Both of those groups were a lot better equipped and trained to fight Hezbollah than a bunch of Lebanese civilians.
