#1 A key concern of many countries is whether the UN force will be called on to disarm Hizbullah fighters, as called for in a September 2004 UN resolution. They want to study the rules of engagement and concept of operations for the force, which were distributed Friday, before making a decision on troops.

Read: The UN is not planning on actually doing anything like what it set out to do. The ol' "bait and switch" ploy, it seems. Would you trust these guys with your future?

#3 Further translation - ROE = You are observers and reporters, you will not exchange fire with anyone. If you come under fired and cannot self extract, you will seek refuge and call the command post for extraction.

#5 Does anyone else feel like we finally fell in with the rest of the world to hamstring Israel on this?
We started out on the right side, and by the time it was over, we were right there up front trying to get Israel to quit before their work was through. Now, there has to be another war. Hezbollah will only be bolder and more aggressive since they think(and I really think they believe this shit) that they won the war and drove Israel out of their ~~shithole~~ country.

#6 Way I saw it, Olmert had screwed it up badly and we stepped in to give Israel breathing room and an out before they really were bogged down in a quasi-occuaption they had no heart for and couldn't sustain.

But the data we all have sure are ambiguous ....

#7 They may not 'wage war' but I'll bet dollars to donuts that they will provide operational and logistical support -- to Hizbollah.

It isn't as if they haven't done it before.

#8 The UN NEVER wages war.

But don't worry, asshole - the Hezzies will.

And so will Israel. And the next time, they won't stop.

#9 We wage war on Israel in general assembly---not in Lebanon where they might shoot back.

#10 UN won't 'wage war' in Lebanon

As if they have ever done so in the past. This is just Annan's not-so-discreet signal to the terrorists that the UN's anti-Semitic policy remains unchanged.
