#2 Somehow, unless Israel really is led by a suicidal moron, I think they will be the final arbiters of the composition of the force. I would dearly love for a showdown which proves the point - and Gillerman doing the public humiliation thing of Malloch-Brown and Annon for their arrogant Vulture Elite BS.

#3 The curtain rises on Act IV of the "Lebanon: The Farce".

The scene opens with a striped-pants Mark Malloch Brown pleading to a gaggle of weak-kneed Europeans, while a chorus of Muslim soldiers marches on from stage-left, singing "Hesb'Allah, We Adore You"....

#5 Act V, of Lebonon The Farce:

Lebanese President Emile Lahoud announces his country has things under control and there is no need for foreign troops. The Lebanese army (fully funded by the Soodies and Iranistanians) is fully capable of ~~keeping infidels out~~ the peacekeeping task. The Euros are heard cheering in Paris. Secretary Rice slumps at her Steinway.

#8 The frogs have some good troops - when they're allowed to fight. Their ROE tends to be slightly insane.

#9 I wonder what happens when Incompetent Force meets the Feckless Object?

#10 Europe will send all the logistical, survey, and engineer soldiers. All the countries that don't recognize Israel will send the armed soldiers to "peacekeep".

What a fucking joke.
