#1 Why? Does this make any sense to anyone? Or is Olmert simply hellbent on giving away every bit of land he can before he's forced out of office?

#2 Hmmm...blow things up, kidnap people, remain intransigent and belligerent and Israel will give you what you want! Lesson learned.

#4 This is simply gamesmanship. The Leb army is incapable of disarming Hezbo, and Olmert knows this all too well.

#5 It seems as though Israel is trying to tie up all the loose ends and be seen as doing everything possible to get rid of any excuse whatsoever the barbarians are using to continue to wage war against Israel. Then he'll blast 'em. Assuming the UN will go along with it. Which it won't.

#7 Israel seized Shebba from Syria not Lebanon and it should be to Syria that the land reverts.

Let them and Hezbollah duke it out over ownership.

This is getting ridiculous. Prisoner swap, handover of Shebba. What was the war for?
They could have done all this months ago.

And the islamists will see this as a great victory..

#8 Why is Israel purposely appearing like a 98 lbs weakling?

Why hasn't Olmert's government received a no-confidence vote because of it?

#9 Besoeker, I hate to break this to you, but Roundup isn't the modernday equivalent of the old "salt their lands" cliche. It has almost no environmental persistency, and is pretty harmless as far as pesticides go. Unless you want to ruin a single season's crops by spraying it at the wrong time on the wrong variety, that'd be nothing more than stupid act of provocation.

You want alachlor or picloram.

Mitch, I hate to break this to you, but Roundup is a herbicide, not a pesticide! Just sayin'!

#12 What is left of the hardcore Israeli's must be flippin out.

People the Olmert government is the epitamy of a LLL government. Get ready becuase dont think for a minute that our own LLL's will ever wake up but instead act just like Olmert with turning in on themselves in blame and selfhatred resulting in never ending apeasement for peace until thier is nothing left to give.

Olmert has been such a unbeleivable failure in this war it is really sad.

#13 Be interesting to see what our Israeli commenters think now. Giving any land to the Muslims now looks like the government is stuck on stupid.

The Phrench have announced that they will not stop arms shipments. Coffee Anus says the Syrians will stop arms smuggling, but they won't have to do much because the arms are being shipped openly.

Leb-Heb Round 2 starts soon. Hope the Israelis have a government with some brass by then.

#14 Spike would be a good choice too for an herbicide too. 12-15 months of total vegatation control.
