| UN Repairing Roads for Hizballah |
| 2006-07-27 |
| (via LGF) This might be the jawdropper of the day, as today’s report from the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon shows that the United Nations is busily repairing damaged roads in Hizballah-controlled areas—roads the IAF bombed specifically to impede Hizballah movement—right in the middle of the war. (Hat tip: mich-again.)(.pdf file) UNIFIL is still facing serious restrictions in its freedom of movement due to the ongoing hostilities and the extensive destruction of roads and bridges throughout the area of operation. Yesterday, a UNIFIL engineering contingent from China managed to do some repairs on a key road artery between Tyre and Naqoura, and the road is now usable for traffic. However, more road destruction was reported in various areas in the south. I have long suspected that UNIFIL has been providing Hezbollah with all sorts of combat support and combat service support. Much, like road repair, they would claim is "dual-use" for both UNIFIL and Hezbollah, so it's not their fault if they "aid" a belligerent. This is no defense. |

| #7 UNIFIL engineering contingent from China ... Why do I picture Chinese coolies with pics and shovels carrying rails and tamping ballast. |

| #4 Well I wasn't so much concerned with the equipment, but the operators. Blow up a few Caterpillars and the occupation will lose it's luster. But I get your drift. |

| #3 Nah. Wait'll they finish and blow it up again. Spare the equipment so they can waste their time doing it again. Rinse and repeat... |

| #1 No problem. Wait for the road graders and bulldozers to begin repairs, then drop another bomb on the dozers. |
