Lebanon Seizes Hezbollah Arms |
2006-08-30 |
![]() “We are not the enemies of Hezbollah,” he said, “but we will tolerate no armed presence, either carrying weapons or wearing uniforms.” He said: “No area will be off limits to the army.” He vowed that Lebanese forces would “confiscate any weapons that it finds. That is already what is happening in a firm but friendly way.” |

#11 Michael Totten had some photographs of literal museum pieces sitting outside of a Hezbollah propaganda museum near the border, before the war. Wonder if that gave one of Siniora's people an idea... |

#10 If you fired off your rockets would there be anything left at the launch point of value? I'm wondering if they grabbed spent ordinance and claimed a victory. |

#9 even if its a lie, or even if its only obsolete non-working stuff, this sets a precedent. If Hezb and Syria sit by while Siniora SAYS hes seized arms, it makes it just a tad less credible for them to get upset if and when he later really does so. OTOH Siniora has a huge incentive to make things look good NOW, to end the blockade. Once the blockade ends we can expect positive moves to slow down. |

#8 Yeah, sounds credible to me. I trust the Lebs implicitly. |

#7 Probably obsolete, non-working, without ammo, stuff like what shows up to the "gun buy-back" programs the liberal idiots do in our cities. |

#6 Every silver lining has another silver lining - at least he knows what he's expected to do - and say. |

#4 Fuad Siniora and Koffi the Comedian what a team it is. It won't be long till Hebollah will kick him out....."Each one hopes that if it feeds the crocodile enough, the crocodile will eat him last"....Winston Churchill |

#3 I wonder if they seize more than a small fraction of the total flow. "See? I claim to have seized three rusty AK-47s. Proof positive that I am on your side." |

#2 Fuad's word is as reliable as a fa*t. |
