#1 IOW, the Lebbies demand, Demand, DEMAND, D-E-M-A-N-D to be Iranians, Shias, repressed and regresssed and anti-democratic in the name of God.

#3 The Lebanese government thinks it can make demands -- instead of apologizing for letting a bunch of terrorists use their land to attack Israel. Maybe more destruction is what they need.

I predict no resolution passed in the next 10 days. Not saying one will be passed on the 11th day either...

#5 The resolution was rejected? Darn the luck. Better go back and start all over again..and invite the Ambassador from Chad and Pago Pago.

Im sure they will have a lot to contribute!

#6 Telhami said one problem was that Hezbollah has not been involved with drafting the resolution. "It isn't clear that they (Hezbollah) have any input in this, and it's hard to see how you're going to implement something like this [without it]."

Normal people don't discuss with terrorists: they kill them. That's the only treatment for this plague.

#7 This is shaping up to be a major defreat for Hizbollocks, Iran and Syria. We may well see Hizb substantially disarmed. Much humiliation and seething to precede and follow.

#8 Muzzies keep DEMANDING, they never take responsibility for any mess of their own making.

#10 Just don't forget to send in the archeologists to restore the historic bits, after. Mankind's heritage, and all that -- and Israel has some of the world's best archeologists for the key periods. Who know? They may find more evidence of the House of David, especially the key, semi-mythical Solomonic Period. ;-)

#13 None of us will give up anything to do with national sovereignty, rights, dignity," he said, affirming the government was committed "to Lebanon's territory, Lebanon's liberation, the withdrawal of the occupation from Lebanese land".

Lebanon has already given up sovereignty, dignity and rights to Hezb. They've given up the country to terrorists.

Israel is in the process of liberating you from terrorist control. Wanna take the blinders off and lend a hand?

#14 Hey Mahmoud! Shebaa Farms is Syrian by UN order, asshole. They just lost it along with the Golan. Don't start wars you can't win is the message, that's why Assad lets your country take the beating. Proxy loser!

#15 I was watching some of the UN resolution blather on Fox. What a bunch of crap. I remember in, what was it, 1958, when Eisenhower sent in troops to Lebanon, the UN Lebanese rep was going on and on with the same blather. The problem is that the UNies will not admit that these terrorists are terrorists. Good and evil. These countries try negotiating with murderers. It is truly a mad hatter's tea party. I could not stand it any more and watched a show about making an aircraft carrier.....and I felt a whole lot better.

#16 Lebanon is signatory to the Geneva Conventions. Does that mean they are responsible for Hezb'Allah's war crimes? As far as I am concerned, they are because they aren't doing anything meaningful to control Hezb'Allah. Perhaps this ought to be factored into their rejecting this resolution.

#17 Technically, it makes sense that the Lebanese government should be, gorb. After all, Hizb'allah is the largest single party inside the government, even controlling two cabinet ministries. And, the Lebanese government has not only never openly disavowed Hizb'allah antics, but has said the Army will back them if necessary and in another article the PM is looking for Pakistani troops to fight for the Fatherland.

#18 Perhaps we should get someone in Brussels to file a law suit.

#19 I'm sure three or four ARCLIGHT strikes down through the center of Beirut would convince them to sign ANYTHING, just to get them to stop. We don't fight wars, we play games. I'm disgusted. Nuke Tehran, nuke Qom, and nuke Damascus. Run ARCLIGHT strikes down through the center of the Bekaa valley until it's nothing but ground sand. Screw Baalbek and its "roman ruins" - it's just another hiding place for arab perfidity. Eliminate Tyre and Sidon. Show these idiots what real war means, and make them wet themselves just for thinking about it. George Patton is spinning at 70,000rpm.

#20 Looks like it might come to that OP. There's 2 things we can do, solve the problem now or pass it down to the next guy. What do you thing W ? What do you think Olmert ? Solve or pass ?

#21 John Bolton, the US ambassador to the UN, said the draft was the start, not the end

I've got to take the kids to camp. I think I'm going to have some important family matter to attend to. I haven't taken any vacation and need some time off. I'll see you in a couple of weeks. Talk amongst yourselves while I'm gone. Thanks. Sincerely, John Bolton
