Israel will not demand Hizbollah disarm
2006-07-29
Israel will not demand the immediate disarming of Hizbollah as part of a deal to end the current fighting in Lebanon, a senior Israeli foreign ministry official said on Saturday.
Lebanon-Israel Rocket Wars Ver 2.0 available on your TV in 2012.
Israel's stance could make it easier to reach an agreement with major powers and the Lebanese government on the deployment of a peacekeeping force in south Lebanon. Hizbollah would almost certainly reject a peacekeeping force whose mandate calls for its disarmament.
Any takers? Perhaps the Irish would like to sacrifice another 45 sons to guarantee a muzzie enters jannah?
The foreign ministry official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Israel would demand that the proposed peacekeeping force in south Lebanon keep Hizbollah away from the Israeli border and prevent the group from replenishing its stockpile of rockets from Syria and Iran.
Like the Lebanese army and UN peacekeepers were doing for the past 6 years?
The official told Reuters that Israel was seeking a commitment to "start the process of implementing" U.N. Security Council resolution 1559, which calls for disarming Hizbollah. "But disarming Hizbollah now is not what Israel is demanding," the official said, adding that "disarming Hizbollah will not be part of the mandate for the (peacekeeping) mission."

#10  "Dave D: Remember what I said Thursday (I think)?"

Vaguely. I count a day as "a real good day" when I can remember something that happened an hour ago.

Makes sense, but counting on such a thing takes more faith than I can summon up. Same goes for the notion that we're acting irresolute and confused in our dealings with Iran to lure them into doing something so utterly vile that we'll have the perfect excuse to play Cowboys And Mullahs, and go absolutely apeshit medieval on their skanky bitch ho' asses.

#9  Dave D: Remember what I said Thursday (I think)? About how you'd do your tactics if every five minutes everyone said you were going to capitulate and all the other side had to do was hold on five more minutes?

#8  I don't know NS, I'm sure Iran, Syria, and the magic kingdom will be more then willing to supply troops to protect Hizbollah's arms shipments.

#6  Rooters, huh?

I posted a comment on this report on a different thread a couple of hours ago - and the denial by Israel very quickly after it began getting air time on Fox.

It was denied. But that didn't prevent repetition - even on Fox (LOL - after they got the denial) and on others (CNN, ABC). Yahoo will probably be slow to print the denial.

Rooters. Fuck 'em.

#4  So, not only is Israel not determined to annihilate Hizbollah, it isn't even insisting anymore that Hizbollah be disarmed?

What the FUCK????????????

#2  Israel is going to have a lot of fun with negotiations that assume a peacekeeping force in Lebanon, cause no one is volunteering. And they won't volunteer until Hezb'Allah is disarmed.

#1  It's easier just to kill them.

Anyone else want to negotiate? [/Korbin Dallas]
