#1 Let's see if they keep it to that, or try to overtly meddle.

#4 "the safety of French nationals is a primary concern for the Minister of Defense" and as a result units eunuch's were being deployed to the Eastern Mediterranean."

"These units eunuch's will be in place to allow French nationals desirous (desirous? Even war is sexual, with these people.) of leaving Lebanon, because of the ongoing turmoil, to leave the country."

#5 (desirous? Even war is sexual, with these people.)

Désirous = bad translation for désireux, willing to/wishing to; as for sexuality, your generated name phonetically "dip it and f*ck".

#8 Am I the only one who chuckled over advice the French government give their nationals and "dual-nationals"? Would a normal person need a GOVERNMENT telling you to stay indoors if there are bombs falling outside? Or they are so dependent on big brother making their decisions for them, even their own survival needs to be ordered from above?

I'll like to see whom those ships will take aboard...

#13 Love the pic of Laurel and Hardy in Sons of the Desert, I believe. These guys won the battle with total incompetence. The movie was a riot!

#14 Evacuate? What for? Give it a week and shit will be back to normal, complete with group hugs at the UN. Israel will pull back after first inflicting some heavy damage here and there. We've seen this movie before.

Not sure about the prisoners though. They might be dead by now. If not, they will used as bargaining chips. A prisoner exchange, and things are back to the way they were. I give it a week.

#15 I'm afraid that I - the eternal pessimist - agree with Jack.
